  • On a lighter note - TWs subbuteo book

    Away from all the doom and gloom that surrounds us at the moment I thought I would quickly recommend TWs book on here. A lot of you may know that his old man invented the game of Subbuteo and he wrote a book about it a few years back.

    I really enjoyed reading it and as someone who still plays the game with my 13 year old I found it particularly interesting and relevant. There are several references to QPR in there (as you would expect as that was his dads team) and it certainly enabled his Dad and family to travel widely and experience life.

          No Del, I missed the boat on that one!
          The book is called 'Growing up with Subbuteo - my dad invented the world's greatest football game'
          If I was his publisher I might have got him to shorten the title!

            Should imagine that book, plus a cup of Horlicks, would guarantee a quick trip to snoresville.
            Might try it, if I become an insomniac.

                ...or at least add the requisite apostrophe.

                        As his new publisher, perhaps I should put a review up on there!

                          couldnt do no harm! he only has 7 currently....give him a good one cos Amazon only have 3 left in stock (they had an initial 10 to start with :-) ) I am actually considering downloading a copy to my Kindle tbh, support fellow ranger's fans and all that.

                            Well what with me buying from him direct and Northolt raiding the library it's not surprising!
