So I just sat on the khazi, and as I often do I decided to click on my profile to look at the stats and try and figure that great existential questions of what my ‘like’ to ‘lol’ ratio really means, and what can I get with my CharltonLife points (13,506 currently).
However low and behold the first thing I immediately noticed on my profile was that my promote count had doubled from 1 to 2. It was like Christmas had come early, the ultimate Charltonlife accolade. Who cares about likes and lols when your promote count is growing exponentially.
With excitement I went to click on the promote link to see what incredible post I had made to deserve one. But things didn’t look right. The lol count was higher then the likes, I only had 9,777 points, the profile picture was of a painting of a green bear like creature with a long neck.
It was with anguish that I quickly realised I had mistakenly clicked on North Lower Neil’s profile instead of mine.
The sadness that this 36 year old man felt as he was taking his morning dump was palpable.

The sanctuary of a morning evacuation should never be violated. Shame on, …shame on… Sorry don’t know who to blame.
To be honest I’m hugely offended that in the years of wisdom and humour I’ve been so generous to share with others over the years, on only 20 occasions the other mods have seen fit to recognise. I would have expected it to be in the thousands :-)

Answer is……you’ll never really know until you get one. It’s a bit like being a Freemason, there are certain privileges granted and in return favours given.
My comments are too long-winded and/or not funny enough. In fairness the only post that I was proud of and thought deserved recognition was something to do with Lego being used to upgrade the dugouts back in the Roland era. Which tells you all you need to know.

The 'visits' is a bit odd too. I just keep CL open in a tab on my phone without logging out, so can daily use for a year or more count as one 'visit?'

I shall try a lot harder , to be witty, and erudite.
And despite all my wise and erudite contributions on CL it was for post about Paul Walsh !!!
What is ‘promote’?

It’s like a Warnock wet dream.
