I’m Not A Man Of Wealth Or Taste……..
at 16:12 14 Jun 2017

…….But I have been around for a long, long year — yeah I know, I’ve breached Hubble’s LFW Intro copyright, but all property is theft and all that.
It would seem it’s time for me to join the throng, so, by way of introduction let me say I was an occasional contributor to the one and only original .org back in the mists of time, before the squatters moved in whilst BT was off colour and refused to hand back the keys. I refused to re-join after the coup and would pop in here to read Clive’s match reports and peruse the message board instead. I should have put my head above the parapet before but don’t have a PC at home and am way too busy at work (this small epistle has taken days to put together).
My QPR credentials: My dad and his dad before him lived in Latimer Road and QPR regulars. Dad moved out to Bletchley (before there was a Milton Keynes) as part of the great London overspill of the 50’s. It being a bit of a football wilderness our allegiance to HQ remain firm. My first match was the ’67 cup final when I was but a nipper, too young to take it all in really but I do have an endearing memory of the blonde in the sheepskin coat who stood next to me. She had an enigmatic smile and her perfume smelt lovely, if I close my eyes I can transport myself back to that fateful day……. I was a regular from ’72 ish onwards. At some point in the late 70’s early 80’s sex and drugs and rock and roll dragged me away to the fleshpots of a utopian dream — ok I may have overplayed my hand there, but QPR took a back seat for a while as I went to endless gigs, parties, festivals, etc.
I’ve moved around a bit, I’m of the Norman Tebbit “get on your bike and get a job” generation, so I’ve had to move where the work took me. I’m currently in Dorse’s backyard. It was a temporary move I made over 25 years ago and been there ever since.
As to the most eagerly awaited piece of information……….. Dorset Blue Vinny, a fine local cheese with a nice crisp blue bite. I’m also partial to Tesco’s finest Cambazola, it may be a soft cheese but I like it.
