Okay, fine, sorry. I got that one wrong. Rude, disrespectful, silly. I apologise.

@QPR_Leviathan Not today alas. In another pantheon. Or rather amphitheater . At Pompeii. Sam was just saying “the atmosphere won’t have been as good as Loftus Road…” We also sang “you’ve seen the Romans, now f*** off home!”

@gilescoren morning old chap, are you at the Pantheon today as if so, I’m just heading down the SAR to the ground so if you clock me, please feel free to say hi… COYR’s and am wearing a cheeky little Fila number today…🥴😂

@hwallop @JulietBlaxland @secondmentions Same. Actually bought some a few years ago and it’s still in my larder. So many wonderful anchovy brands now; just spreading anchovies on toast is tastier. But a tragic nostalgia loss.

@JulietBlaxland @secondmentions Oh no!! This is a disaster. (Even if I haven't bought some for at least 20yrs...)

Today’s sad news. Patum Peperium, aka Gentleman’s Relish, “the anchovy spread”, discontinued… @secondmentions @hwallop

@drooga Med Salleh opened three weeks ago. Med Salleh Kopitiam has been open longer.

@gilescoren med salleh’s been open for a long time .. as has med salleh viet - some of the best pho in town

Med Salleh: Malaysian street food so good I’ve been back eight times since it opened a couple of weeks ago… thetimes.com/article/d4752a…

@Haddock_99 As it says in my review, Med Salleh’s USP is claypot dishes from Kampar plus wider nonya standards…

@gilescoren Much like ‘Indian street food’ doesn’t exist as it is very regional, does this focus” on any particular region of Malaysia?

@HerzvanRental Indeed

@gilescoren Least unpopular

My mate Kemi is now Britain’s most popular political leader and, on -9 points, is doing nearly as well as Sheffield Wednesday, the least successful team in the history of English football. thetimes.com/article/c7a0f9…

@stuartisbister You’re welcome. In the morning before I went. Then came back and tweaked the cricket result.

@gilescoren Thank you. As amusing as ever. But with all that sporting activity, where on earth did you find the time to fit us in too? (It’s just come to me - you wrote it at the cricket)

@RichMillett @Mendelpol @JeremyJacobs And my even more (lesss) Jewish son Shmuel (Sam). Wasn’t it great?

@Mendelpol @JeremyJacobs I was there. Lots of matzah. Even @gilescoren sat next to me briefly

Genuinely more Jewish people at Lord’s today than at shul yesterday

Jan Leeming unearths that “sorry, can’t make it after all, washing my hair” letter from The King to @realDonaldTrump

@Mashwoody @_Dan_1882 @QPR_Leviathan 🙌🏽

@gilescoren @_Dan_1882 @QPR_Leviathan That’s it. My boys get joy from a win regardless of where we are in the league. Those of a certain age were spoilt all those years ago, we still have a sense of false expectation. My sons don’t, they want ti play well, win and enjoy the atmos. The fact they love it is a blessing

I get it I really do but am I miserable cunt for not liking this when we’re going nowhere?

@_Dan_1882 @QPR_Leviathan I think as Rangers fans there is no point restricting ourselves to celebrating titles! I think we have to celebrate patterns of good play, decent runs, great results and players who care about the club. So I think it’s all fucking marvellous.

@QPR_Leviathan I totally get you, and it’s great that they care after so many years of wankers who took the piss out of us. I genuinely think I’m just a miserable bastard and fed up of us going nowhere 😂

+++BREAKING+++ KING CANCELS STATE VISIT!!! HM WRITES LETTER TO PRESIDENT TRUMP SAYING REALLY SORRY WASHING HAIR, GOT FLU, CAR IN GARAGE, BABYSITTER LET US DOWN ETC. thetimes.com/article/029b13…

@Hallibody He is FAR too healthy and moderate to get gout… 🥗 🥒

@gilescoren My gout is playing up..

@QPR_Leviathan @IanMac08 🤞🏾

@gilescoren @IanMac08 Hopefully next season we can keep the May BH free in our diaries… This time next year Rodney…😂

Rangers very good for 80 mins, somehow hanging on for the win at 95 mins. Well deserved win. Varane’s best game for a while. Enjoyable afternoon all round.

@jamesbadcock5 @poorrichard As am I

@poorrichard @gilescoren The King, despite being a King and living a life of great luxury, so open to accusations of hypocrisy, is left of Starmer on most issues

@QPR_Leviathan @IanMac08 Watch us win three more: Everyone cancels their May bank holiday plans to be around for the playoffs then… 💩

@IanMac08 @gilescoren Funny you mention the Wrexham game because, we were having flashbacks and PTSD at the thought of a similar outcome in the upper Loft… Agreed on Varane and thought Smythy was excellent too.. 4 defeats then 3 wins on the spin is soooo Rangers…🥴😂

@IanMac08 But yeah happy as Larry. Watford way poorer than I expected. We’re giving it away in midfield as much as ever but they couldn’t capitalise.

@IanMac08 Wrexham was all I could think about for the last 10 minutes. That corner they had right at the end I’m thinking “please don’t swing it in under the crossbar because Walsh will fluff it again…”
