You can tell a lot by where our yoof go out on loan to.
It would be good if we could start getting lads in that L1 sides are chasing as opposed to clubs in leagues too far below that. Kolli going to a promotion chasing side that play a bit would be excellent news. |

He also should have put one away at home to Blackburn.
But what little I've seen of him, I've been saying I'd put my eggs in his basket, as opposed to the big lad's.
Certainly agree a loan to a good L1 club would be an excellent idea. |

I saw bits of an U21 game he played in, and formed this view: yeah, he stood out, but more in a Anthony Joshua bossing middleweights way than Sophia Vergara being the standout among the South African scrum. |

Your post affords me the opportunity to post one of my fave quotes. A reporter asked Nobby Stiles what he thought SAR would make of Carlton Palmer in the England team?
Nobby simply replied: I don't think Sir Alf would have allowed him in the stadium, much less the team! |

In my humble, I'd cash in as soon as possible.
Don't doubt his effort and commitment, etc., but I think Kolli is night and day better, and I'd focus on him. Armstrong reminds me of a bruising Forrest Gump.
That said, I suppose Dykes is out for a while and Frey didn't really do it, so we're again in need of bodies up front, much less finding just one fcuker who can score! |

Oooh that would be nasty.
You know what, as soon as they hit the stage, I'd leave then to avoid the inevitable delays. |

Folks were leaving early, so we stayed until the end. Then we went to a nondescript bar, which did have Brookly IPA on tap, and waited it out there for a while.
I'd say if everyone spills out at the same time, it would be awful. |

I went to the baseball at Wham! yesterday and of all in-stadia eating I've seen around the world (and I include the US in this), I've never seen a hot dog as big as was being devoured by many. I'd say at least 24 inches/60 cms in length, smothered in God knows what, it looked awful. I can only imagine how awkward it would be to eat and for those sat around a person doing so.
However, it was what happened during a break that was car crash viewing: they got two fat-fooks out to have an eating competition. Looked like two blokes sucking off a teletubby.
Anyone else witnessed such horrors? |

Very sad news, and shows no matter who you are, life is fragile.
Been following him since 2012 and found him brilliant! Unlike a lot of people in the field, he made it simple to understand, and unlike say, the folks at Zoe, he didn't overcomplicate by being too sciencey: just the necessary facts for you to decide to do or not fo something to improve your health. |

There are two things behind this in my view.
Firstly, post-Covid the hospitality sector has struggled to recruit staff. Therefore, I suspect many are having to manage queues in line with staff numbers, and single line might be their solution.
However, the second reason in my view, is the poor quality of 'trained' bar staff.
Worked as a a barman as a student, and the landlord taught and expected his staff to work the bar, manage the queuing customers, and not stand around looking vacant. We often served two at a time, and instead of trotting back and forth to the till to add up the round, we could instantly tell the punter what the round was and returned quickly with the change. Nowadays, staff can't add up, and how many times do you see them stood round the till waiting to use it.
Was in Ireland for a week, none of these issues, as better trained barstaff working. |

Some people's 'marquees' are another person's washed out tent in Skegness! Not sure I agree with definitions of success either.
However, it's hard to look beyond Tony Currie as being the best example of a true marquee signing of the time, and a success too! |

Very, very emotional watch. BBC/organisers done well today; Mrs PH and myself blubbing all morning too.
Is it me, or is King Charles sporting more medals than some of the Veterans who actually stormed the beaches? |

These guys never spoke about their experiences, keeping bottled up the sheer horrors of their experiences of war.
However, while delivering my mother's eulogy recently, I recalled how, my mother would take me to Roehampton Limb Fitting Centre from the late 60s, and thus, I grew up in the presence of men who had lost limbs in both World Wars. The thing I recall most from my boyhood: was somehow, my mother would get talking to them and maybe, because she was a stranger to them, they would often open up.
I knew enough about me to keep quiet and not play up. These guys' recollection were such, that when we would come home, my mother was always in floods of tears. They often told her: at least I would never have to go to war. She seemed so able to talk, but mostly to listen to these guys. I always felt she could have been an excellent counselor.
Alas, it was not just their combat experiences that made her cry, it was what did or, more pointedly, did not happen to them upon their return!
Bizarrely, sadly, and annoyingly, I ended up working with Vietnam vets, their experiences were the same as those that had gone before them. Shocking!
Such was the mark it left on me, that on my travels, I always visit war grave sites, especially out in South East Asia. As you stroll by, you are struck by the ages of these 'boys', who laid down their lives for us, and I think of what hell they must have faced in their final days and moments.
God bless them all. Absolute heroes to a man and woman. |

George Floorman is a QPR fan, and the son of a lad I used to sit with.
The son of another one of the lads I used to sit with is called Jack Corden. He's a plumber and Mrs PH and I suggested he call himself, 'Flush Corden'. |

While accepting his awful barnet was more prevalent after he left the Rangers, but you certainly saw the early roots of David Seamen's, frankly, ridiculous ponytail at QPR. |
