Reply | Electric cars to be taxed per mile.

Obviously it would have been big (albeit with help from the petrol companies opening garages up etc)but it was the one option open to allow cars to be available to the masses
My point is that EVs have been around for a while now and the appetite to move people over to it with the correct infrastructure is limited
EVs aren’t the answer if you want to move people away from petrol in my opinion
If you disagree then fair enough but I’d been interested to know why |

In my opinion EV’s are the equivalent of the Mini Disc meant to be better than what exists but ultimately something will come along and make it obsolete
The cost of putting in the right infrastructure is huge if the government thought EV’s were the silver bullet they would have invested big time they’ve dabbled at best

Thread | Game 4 The Children
at 16:01 7 Nov 2025
Just had an email from the club about a charity / fundraiser for Game 4 The Children
Sounds like a great cause with money being split between shelter and Tiger Cubs but can’t help but feel they’ve got it a bit wrong
Adults £30
Young Adults / Concessions £20
Juniors £10
Yep Ellie Goulding is doing a stint at half time and the opportunity to see Faurlin and others would be great but a Monday night (kids still at school) a week and a half before Christmas it all sounds a bit steep.
Family of 4 gonna be over £100 with travel food etc not sure it’s gonna sell well which would be a shame as sounds a worthy cause |

My Nans Saturday tea ( basically a fry up)
Sausages Bacon Egg Chips Beans as a kid (didn’t go for mushrooms tomatoes etc). Her chips were honestly the best chips I’ve ever had,made in the chip pan absolutely unreal. The waft of a silk cut coming out of the kitchen while she put it all together.
My Grandad coming back from work and giving me £1 for writing the full time results on the fixtures in the back of the paper so he could check his pools coupon
Then my Nan turning the Telly round from the front room to the dining room so me and brother could watch The A team while we all had dinner with my Mum moaning that we shouldn’t be watching the TV ( she now lets mine get away with murder, Grandparent perks I guess)
Take me back |

I was too young to see Rodney , Stan ,TC etc
Bannister was my first hero, Les probably my all time favourite
Adel is without doubt the most technically gifted player I’ve seen in 40 plus years
Was a magician should’ve played at the top had the ability but maybe not the temperament
Loved him |

Hi all
I got made redundant end of May and am still looking for work
It’s brutal right now but I know that Loft For words sometimes has a habit of supplying a good deal of knowledge
If anyone one knows of any types of jobs please let me know as I am just desperately trying to get back working
Cheers lads and lasses

Thread | Charlie Kelman
at 16:04 10 Jun 2025
So I’m sure you’ve opened this about to reply there’s already an existing thread but I felt this deserved a thread of its own
Last night on the way home from school my 9 year old was walking with his Mum and his mates Mum and Dad through the park when his mates Dad asked if him if he had heard that Charlie Kelman was going to be at Goals that evening (Astro pitches for hire similar to the set up on South Africa road)
My lad comes bounding in the door telling me he’s gonna meet Charlie Kelman having had the explanation I asked was this definite what time etc , he had no idea. So I called Goals couldn’t get through and the whole thing sounded a bit of a wild goose chase
Did him some dinner and then my Mrs took my eldest to her music lesson so after being pestered I said we could walk up (10 mins from our house) but I was going out to play football myself so we would have a quick look
My lad grabbed his shirt he had signed last home game of the season by all the players and we headed up after a quick search of the pitches no sign so I said we would have to go, he was gutted but as we are on our way out Charlie Kelman came out of the door in front of us
Now there aren’t many QPR shirts in Southend so when he saw my lad he said hello straight away, my boy asked for a pic and could he sign his shirt so Kelman dropped the kit he was holding and was more than happy to oblige. He then spent a good few minutes having a chat with him asking him who he played for what position etc
He was an absolutely top lad and my boy has been buzzing ever since.
Well played Charlie Kelman |

Would be Derry and Hill for me
Season before we had Tosic for a bit and I thought he was excellent
Remember first game of season being in the pub with a few mates and my brother saying who we thought might be ok etc
Me: Derry and Hill, really both 30 odd and Tosic was excellent and we let him go Derry is nothing more than a pub player
My Brother They are both dirty b@stards who’d kick their Granny to win and my god do we need that they will win you over in 5-10 games
Who was right? |

Disagree Parejo was awful
Was 18 in a foreign country playing in a mush mash squad that Bruatore and Paladini had flung together
You could see the kid had something about him but he was often so ahead of the other players in terms of passing the runs didn’t come and it looked like it was a terrible ball
He was in no way a bad player |

Birch was / is 💯 Rangers
He was on our books as a kid and essentially left to go to Millwall as the pathway looked to be blocked a bit (Quashie)
Went to Millwall then came back interesting bit on Undr the Cosh interview he did the midfield 3 when he was a teenager was him Quashie and Rio Ferdinand
His performance against Swindon last home game of the season the year we went up under Holloway is one of the best individual performances I’ve seen in an Rs shirt he was everywhere that day. Absolute gigantic efffort |

Reply | Paul Smyth
at 13:06 22 Apr 2025
I’ve seen this along with some idiot on one of the QPR Facebook groups proclaiming Paul Smyth is one of the worst players to play for us
I’m nailing my colours to I like Paul Smyth
Is he the best player I’ve ever seen at Loftus Road , no not by a long way. He does however play with guts, spirit and a desire to do well, should he score more goals, probably, is he final ball at bit disappointing, it can be.
But he would run through brick walls for the club and I for one appreciate that when I think back to others who have rinsed the club and couldn’t care less
When I approached the club for a birthday message for my lad Smyth did it and sent a great message which made a 9 year olds birthday his mate who is the other QPR fan out of 500 odd kids at school was extremely jealous!
Also on a non football angle the fella is pretty funny
He was at the kids fanzone yesterday signing autographs etc.
They did a Q&A with him and one question was “What’s your career highlight “ his response was “The right hander on Friday” 😂
He then said he was joking in case anyone wants to get offended

at 00:09 15 Apr 2025
I think him being at Barnet and us not picking him up can be excused to a point as he only played maybe a handful of games but his time at Peterborough should definitely not have gone unnoticed
He had 4 years there with a season in The Championship was playing Junior England levels and I think even Captained them at times and pretty sure was in team of the year for League one
Maybe we did inquire who knows
£3 mill was a bargain for Southampton |

Let’s be honest nobody would have guessed that line up
I get we have many injuries but Christ on a bike
I like Marti but that line up but that has the look of when he was sat at his desk writing it he had a glass of Cyanide to the left and a revolver to the right
Gonna be a long night I fear |
