How hard can it be?
There will come a day that the karma accumulated with a season ticket during our 1998-9 season in the third division, fails. But it was not this day. 🩵🩵🩵
Congrats on getting the short sleeves right
Come on this is City, Google “Jamie Pollock QPR”
Garmin altitude trace of 10 identical laps up and down a 15-meter hill, including a small downhill stretch on each climb which definitely isn’t there.
Enjoyable sunny hour in Campbell Park while my broken thumb is denying me football.
I always reckon the people desperate to stand in the aisle for ten minutes on landing would be precisely the last to give up their seats on a crowded tube.
The way to protect the climate is to keep raising fuel duty. And gas prices. Reduce electricity prices. Make the economics of EVs and heat pumps unquestionable.
Arrived and enjoyed, enwedig ar ôl darganfod bod yr ddau ohonoch yn Cymry. Siaradwyr ydych chi?

Hard to find any Green Party position that isn’t explained by the words “Nimby Corbynites”.
This is a good game!
