During covid I bought green coffee beans and roasted my own. I now buy Lavazza decaf (heart issue) which is about the best mainstream brand IMHO.
However when it comes to brewing coffee I have a full set of coffe makers, mokka pot, cafetierre, aeropress, drip machines as well as one of these bad boys, a La Pavoni Esperto Abile.

I don't know exactly when I started supporting but my Park Drive Book of Football 1967-68 has a wonderful colour photo (two actually) and therefore it had to be the kit.
Secondly Rodney of course.
The 66-67 season 103 goals scored and the League Cup
Slightly exotic name 'Queen's Park Rangers from an equally exotic sounding place 'Shepherd's Bush' (well it was to an impressionable 9 year old!). Took me ages in the local library finding out where we were (do you know how many towns and cities have districts called 'Queen's Park'?)
Then the folklore - Nomadic club, record number of grounds but not actually played in Queen's Park itself.
The rest is history! |

The usual cruise round the Med. looking out for a hooped shirt so I can shout 'U R's' like I did in Florence a couple of years back.
Glad of the rest tbh. This season like so many others has been emotionally draining. But then again I've already started researching train times and prices for September from Blackpool ready to go again.
Enjoy the rest guys - we deserve it! |

I think we'll need a defensive rebuild next season especially if Dunne goes and Edwards goes back to Soton.
Agree that Cook and Fox are well the wrong side of 30 but agree to keep Cook if we can for another year. It would be a great coup if we could get Dunne to stay. I think he's playing at his level and moving to another Championship club or potentially lower prem outfit might not be any better for him other than financially.
Asssuming Morrison comes through and the new Brazilian is the next Roberto Carlos, we'll probably need a couple of quality inbounds to strengthen and maybe push for a tilt at promotion. Hopefully Morgan and Kolli will continue to develop and with Dembele back, going forward I think we're ok. Looking forward to next season already! |

Hi all, been around since 2001 and still got the T-Shirt !- Lancshoop 16 though it's very faded and worn thin now.
Lancashire born and bred but 'adopted' QPR as my team in 1967 - the shirt, Rodney and giant killing history making League Cup win.
I don't post much but read a lot and this site keeps me informed about what's going on, especially on the terraces.
Met a school friend at a reunion in April I hadn't seen since 1974 and the first thing he said was' You still following QPR?' Hope to be at a few games again this season and at least one of my children - all in their 30's will be with me and maybe their partners. Even my wife has started coming with me again -don't know whether that's good or bad! |

What else would you expect to see silhouetted on a QPR shirt? - Sydney Opera house perhaps, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, Herds of wilderbeast sweeping majestically across the plain.
Sorry - couldn't resist. |

My wife wouldn't let me take my 'Chloe Kelly can I have your shirt' placard when we went to Man C v Chelsea women.
Wrong on so many levels at 65 years old.
I'd also like Mille Bright's shirt but being Chelsea that's one step to far. |

I've still got my late 60's plastic QPR team. when they broke (usually stood on) I'd heat the goally stick on the hob and melt them back into their bases. Rodney Marsh is in his up to his knees now, but at least now as Chair it's to scale! |

Won't mean anything to any of you but;
St Mary's RC Primary Fleetwood
St Joseph's College Blackpool - Run by Irish Christian Brothers who were as tough as Jesuits but just didn't brag about it!
I am remembered at reunions for 3 things - I played the French horn, was a reasonably good cricketer and I supported QPR. Our last reunion was 2 weeks after the Blackpool debacle - so they certainly remembered me this year!! |

Similar situation as to when Holloway joined us in February 2001, he couldn't stop us going down but Ainsworth possibly can. Whatever happens stick with Gareth, reset, rebuild and come back stronger next season.
We have great core support and community and we'll have a first class training complex.
We're probably at Loftus Rd for a good few years yet, so let's stick with it (as we always do) and be loud and proud. |
