Mind you, B.O.'s sales team seems to be having plenty of those at the moment, judging by the lack of action on that front. Maybe he should offer them a bonus for a successful sale? Oh wait... didn't ROT publicise his CAFC bonus strategy round his home town last year? Could it be any bonus offer would be taken with a large pinch of salt?
I'll leave the punch line for @3blokes to complete, when he surfaces!
Good Lord is that the time? I may need to check the snooze button on my alarm. Anyway, Day 2115. He’s still here ( even when we sleep) Ohforgettingtodothebloodycount
Day 2200. I got a bit confused glancing through the Takeover thread quickly this morning, there seems to be some interest out there either from a big clown ( no change there then) or The Three Wise Men. Anyway, suffice to say, he’s still here. Ohfuckcryingoutloud
It’s another Saturday morning and once again the B.O is in the shed but, today, he is far from happy.
He sits at his bench checking and rechecking, till finally he can no longer deny the evidence before his eyes.
It could only be the work of one those scheming ant bastard CARD bastard ant scheming bastards. Whatever that is.
Well, this time they had gone too far, this latest caper could not, and would not stand.
At this moment Mrs B.O comes in with his coffee. There is a little amaretto biscuit on the side which, earlier, she has lovingly smashed with a hammer.
The B.O. doesn’t look up as she places his cup and saucer on the bench.
“ Everything all right?” She asks. She notices his fists are tightly clenched. Had the old delicate problem returned?
“ SOME FUCKING FUCK BASTARD FUCK HAS FUCKING STOLEN ONE OF MY FUCKING RIVETS!!! THE FUCKING FUCK!! He screams.
“ Oh dear.” says Mrs B.O, calmly. “ That IS a shame.”
“AAARGGHHHHHH!” screams The B.O.
“ Now now, dear, don’t bite the bench like that, you’ll ruin those lovely teeth of yours, calm yourself a little......now....was it an important rivet or something?” soothes Mrs. B.O.
“ It’s only a 2973764876327BB891X47 Type 274!! The classic ‘didgeridoo wangler’!” wails the B.O.
“ Oh.” says Mrs. B.O. dryly. “That one.”
The B.O looks up at her sharply.
“ You’re not confusing it with the 2973764876327BB891X47 Type 275, are you? That’s the warbler. It’s completely different.” says the B.O sternly.
“ Yes, of course it is.” says Mrs B.O, suddenly and unaccountably thinking of the hammer smashing down on the amaretto biscuit.
The B.O now launches into a 5 minute tirade about the stolen rivet and how he had realised that there were only 9999 rivets in the box instead of 10000 and how he’d checked it 48 times.
As Mrs. B.O starts to edge towards the door, she notices that there’s a rivet on the floor under the bench.
She WOULD have told him about it, of course, she decides, but it was probably only a 2973764876327BB891X47 Type 275. The warbler shit.
And, anyway, she thought, he seemed to be enjoying himself.
Well, let’s leave the B.O vowing screaming vengeance on the fiend who’s pinched his wangler, and let’s move on this weekend with a spring in our step and a song in our hearts.
I've just been studying the "haddock" cartoon on the History of Charlton in 23 Objects thread, and it occurred to me that, although it is with words not pictures, this thread is in its own way a lampooning cartoon strip in the best tradition of British humour.
While the situation of CAFC being owned by someone who has no interest in competitive football is really not funny, and far from beneficial, at least @3blokes is helping us to "always look on the bright side of life" - imagine how awful it would be to actually BE the B.O. he portrays!!!
I guess there are days when @3blokes wishes he'd never started this - I'm sure he never expected then to still be doing it on day 2206 - but I am very glad he did. He has certainly helped keep my spirits up. So, thank you @3blokes .

Ah thanks for that, N01R4M, much appreciated, and likewise thanks for the comments from others as well on here. You’re certainly right that the old count has gone on much longer than I ever expected, but hopefully one day he will finally be gone. I only started it as a laugh, in the style of the Big Brother Geordie announcer “Day 8” etc and I ran out of the ‘weekend’ ideas ages back, but every so often, something crops up, because the situation is absurd really. The reality is often a better spoof of itself than anything I come up with. Anyway, I’m glad it gives a few people a chuckle, it’s quite a good outlet for some personal venting on the matter and I decided a while back to just keep it going every day, if nothing else, to show that we’re still here and still waiting for him to go and do one. ( Blackpool72 has a good way of expressing it, that just gets right to the heart of the matter )
And since one of the goal scorers was Naby, I guess that goes to show that even the most ignorant of owners with the most inept of advisers sometimes gets lucky and finds a gem rather than paste. However, I'd sooner trust LB's judgement...
Lets hope that row of gents wearing scarves seated behind the dugout did signify signs that B.O. has not taken a leaf from Extinction Rebellion's book & superglued himself to the club in expectation of promotion riches, and that they are the new owners of our dreams.
Meanwhile, as you say, He's still here. OhforMondaymorningwashingday'ssake
