Why Charlton Life is better than chatting to Charlton fans in the pub

Well this got me thinking.
The beer is cheaper for starters, and this week absinthe has been available.
You can smoke whilst on Charlton Life. A pipe, a crack pipe (judging by some posts), a fine cigar, a Whacky woodbine. -knock yourself out.
No one to tell you to take your hat off like they do in Greenwich 'spoons.
It's open all night.
You don't have to personally witness Paulie's highlights nor judge the exact size of Golfie's 'tv dinner friend's' norks.

Conversations can be sunk.

There must be loads of reasons why CL is better than the bar......

    The only problem is I'm constantly logged on, posting on numerous different threads. It's akin to a continuous lock in, which in itself has its problems. Obviously I'm not going to get liver damage but I do find myself drinking on the job (a lot)......

    Or get a sober friend to drop you and your car off in a layby. Watch the kerb though.

    You can ask for legal advice for 'a friend' and no one will suspect it's secretly for yourself.

    If you asked your mates down the pub for relationship advice they would take the piss. On here you can bare your soul and oh wait a minute. Scrap that.

    To paraphrase the eagles, Hotel California, you can log out, but you can never leave.

  • I can act like a total clown on here......oh wait, hang on, I do that in the pub as well.

    oh well, at least I can't get a smack in the mouth for acting like that on here!
  • Because I've been liked by over 1000 people on here... How could you get that in a pub, be a bloody big venue ;)

  • Mainly because I can get to CL can't get to a bleeding pub, CL doesn't close and you don't get arrested for logging in and leaving your kids in bed.

    The pub quizzes are better on CL, especially the picture rounds on football grounds.

    I've spoken to so many different fans in pubs away from home up and down the country, and literally never come across any lifers.
    My opinions on here cause outrage at times but in person Charlton fans usually see where I'm coming from, on that note, give me the pub over Charlton Life any day of the week!

    You have, it's just you're not in the clique, so they avoided owning up to being lifers!

    That raises an interesting point though. I bump into a Charlton-supporting gentleman once every few weeks whilst we are doing something fairly mundane that I'm not going to specify as it would bring him closer to identifying me. We have a very nice chat about what's been going on at Charlton, we frequently talk about stuff we've read on the internet, transfer gossip et. We refer to "that Charlton Life message board thing" (I presume, like me, he is trying to give the impression that he has the occasional glance on here, rather than the reality, which is that I spend the entire day on here and consider it extremely unreasonable when my employer interrupts my Charlton Life Time with some trivial work matter that he expects me to complete in return for my salary.

    I can't imagine ever revealing that I have a user account on here, let alone my username, in case he's got one too and, prior to our meeting, we've spent the entire day involved in a bitter online argument about the merits of getting Chris Powell back as manager and giving him a 40 year contract.

    Any other Lifers leading a similar double life?
