As most know, I'm a building contractor. A lot of our builders merchants / supply houses have self serve payment areas where the machine has an option for you to type a PO / job name. I've been typing QPR in these boxes for years.😀
Whenever in a sports shop , always cover the chelsea shirts hanging on display with whatever other shirts available
Also when passing the little calendar stalls at Christmas , make sure to have a little browse and do the same making sure the the qpr one is at the front
Pathetic really as I’m now 50

When I used to be a conveyancer we tried to get 'unsightly erection' or some variant into correspondence as much as possible and also down here in the far south west we had quite a few clients called Cock so that was always something to play with (ooer) correspondence-wise

If I’m going anywhere near the Thames I’ll always get off the tube / bus on the other side from where I’m going so I can walk across one of the bridges.
Top 5 favourite bridges to walk over Blackfriars, Hammersmith, Lambeth, Albert, Putney,
When I was a kid and we were driving to see my Nan & Grandpa in Essex, I’d nag my dad into driving over a different bridge each time.
Mention of Albert Bridge gives me an excuse to post one of The Pogues greatest songs.

My job (thrilling stuff, I know) is to write exam questions for 11 year olds. Remember those triangle questions with labelled points? Naturally, a few of my triangles have Q.P and R as the labels.
Plenty of other very subtle QPR references are thrown in, and some more blatant such as a pie chart where a group of pupils are asked to name their favourite football team.
Very childish, but passes the time :-)

Deputy headteacher at a primary school here, curious about your work Gary.
Do you work for NFER or do the SATs papers or something?
Just wondering where to look out for the Rs references.

As a former GCSE maths teacher, when it came to writing probability questions it would invariably include the probability of Rangers winning their next match when playing home or away

Waterloo Bridge is my favourite because it's on the apex of the river's curve so you can clearly see the city on one side and Westminster on the other.
And I always play the Kinks "Waterloo Sunset" in my head when walking across it: Dirty old river...

We're implementing a new finance software system at work currently. In the testing phase I've created QPR as a customer and Loftus Road Refurbishment as a project.
With Christian Nourry as the contact I also added a note to the record or "customer is inconsistent and unpredictable".

Shirley that’s a matter which is answered through the harsh realities of life experience and not probability.

Didn't know numbers could be that small.

Looking for a new TV. Mrs is going through all the details. Settles on a Samsung. My veto as, at the time, they sponsored the mob from SW6.

Doing childish stuff is the only thing that gets me through the days.
The craic on building sites used to be excellent.... not so much now the fun police are in full force. You just can't gripfill peoples safety boots to the desk when they leave early anymore. My favourite ever was one of my PM's who was one of the funniest blokes I've ever met but didn't get on with the CM. One day the CM parked his car in a tight spot in the car park and Dave got busy with the gaffa tape on the passenger side. All the way home on the M25 our CM couldn't understand why people where tooting at him and giving him the smiles and thumbs up. He got home, parked his car and walked round to go in his front door to see 3 foot high gaffa tape letters down the passenger side of the car spelling out I'M A T WAT..... stern talking to ensued next day.
One thing that I just cannot resist, especially out in shops this time of year, is re-arranging the alphabet mugs. Having the Q's, The P's and the R's together is a given but I always try to get as many swear words at the front of the shelf as possible. I will get banned from M&S one day
Cherish and enjoy life.... this ain't no dress rehearsal

erm, never wrap cellophane over the toilet bowl but under the seat? Always good for a laugh.
