Inspiration

So...I've finally set up a blog.

I just wanted to give credit to the guys who inspired me to do this. Firstly my long standing friend Simon, whose acerbic observations about life are always worth a read. His excellent blog can be found at http://www.stmthoughts.blogspot.com/. Secondly my fellow QPR fan Tony, whose match reports & opinions about QPR, football & beyond are an integral part of my daily Internet trawl. His blog is at http://lofty-heights06.blogspot.com/. Finally, the mutterings of Benjie Goodhart, whose GQ Magazine blog is now sadly defunct, but can still be read at http://www.benjiesblog.com/default.html.

What can you expect from my blog? Well, it will be an eclectic mix of QPR, football, and my everyday rants & raves about life, the world & the universe. You may notice here that I'm being deliberately vague. There is a good reason for this - I haven't a bloody clue how this blog will evolve. To give you a clue of what I have in mind; my original plan was to call this blog http://www.victormeldrew.blogspot.com/- but someone else has already bagged that domain name (and, annoyingly, hasn't updated it since 2004! I don't believe it...).

I imagine that this blog will eventually be read by a world wide audience of millions, win awards, be mentioned favourably on high brow TV programmes by intellectual heavyweights, and discussed at dinner parties the length & breadth of the country.

In reality it will probably only be read by a couple of my friends (for a couple of weeks at least) & some random bloke in his underpants who keyed "sausages & sex" into Google and came across my site instead (no pun intended).

Ah well, if the latter is true, I don't care - I'm in this for the long haul - hopefully it will be a form of therapy for me.

Hey,

Congratulations on setting up your blog. I will of course be a dedicated reader, and will look forward to reading it.

Good Luck...x

And could you, pray tell, tell us where the inspired name comes from.

Not just the name, but how you were recently reminded of it - thanks

r - whoever you are!

God told me to do it.

It just seems apt seeing as I look like him, and my job involves making him!

And absolutely nothing at all to do with anyone living on the South Coast who supports Watford & may or may not have bought the toy for his daughter!!
