One of the more bizarre events of the past year was the attempt of QPR supporter Lord Toby Young to confront fanzine editor Rick Everitt on Margate beach.
Having thrown down the gauntlet, the loopy lord travelled all the way to Margate on a Tuesday morning to be met by an empty beach. The Rickster had more sense than to play along with this publicity stunt.
It was not his Addicktion that the Super Hoop objected to, but his leadership of Thanet District Council as a 'town hall tyrant.'
In his latest Spectator column, Young tells us how he celebrates a QPR win. Sometimes he buys a bottle of 'plonk' wine at £40. His normal tipple costs £50, but a Super Hoops win justifies a £80 bottle. Thank goodness they don't win that often.
Now I am no wine buff (although in the interests of transparency, I should disclose that I was one of the original providers of capital for Naked Wines). However, I reckon that I can get a good bottle of wine for £10. Indeed, if I buy a bin end in a sale or pop into Aldi at the right time, I can get something good for £7 or less,
Clearing out my old house, I came across a letter of thanks from Curbs for the champagne I sent him each Christmas. What will you open if we win today?
