    Having become a regular follower and contributor to this mass debating chamber over the past few months, I've decided it's in everybody's interests for me to duck out for a short while....................  



    There,  So how was that for you?

    But seriously, I thought it would be rude to just cease without saying anything. I feel as though I've nothing new to offer and keep going over old ground. I was thinking of taking to twitter to see what our reliable informants Rui and Sausage Dog make of it all, but I fear the twittersphere may consume me as I'm already spending far too much time on here and need to be doing other things. So as it's the time of year for resolutions, I'm going to quit posting for the foreseeable, although I'll be keeping a watching brief and reserve the right to return, hopefully when our prospects are a bit brighter. 

    Anyway That's it for now. What more can I say?

    It's been............ well, it's been and I'll leave it at that.

    Happy New Year to each and everyone!
    I agree with you in many respects and I have quit for short periods of time. 

    Unfortunately it’s very addictive because we’re all fans regardless of level, time, matches etc., etc. and therefore impossible to stay away indefinitely, or it has been for me.

    As I rarely go to games anymore, so, clearly not a real supporter, however 50 years and counting blah blah blah, it’s one of the few sources to keep up to date.

    I guess what grates me is it’s toxicity at times and I include myself in that occasionally and also the repetitive posting on say, the current Takeover thread of people saying basically the same things but just rearranging the words over and over and over again and of course the inevitability of threads going off piste. So, in the end it becomes impossible to get to the crux of the matter without having to trawl through 600 or more posts only to find nothing of substance!

    Its a shame the moderators can’t step in more often, though I’m sure it’s not an easy task.

    It all becomes rather tedious with a few funnies thrown in and there are some good ones, I’ll admit.

    It’s also frustrating we can’t accept different opinions without resorting to calling people out and sending our ‘Seconds’ round for pistols at dawn!

    Happy New 👂 to you and everyone else.

    Happy New Year mate and many more years to come for you

    You tooooo ( notice how clever I’m being by accentuating the oooo’s because I always get mixed up with which one it should be and fear the Grammar Police 👮‍♀️ on my tail ;) ). @johnnysummers5

    swordfish, you speak more sense than many, take a break and come back when you're refreshed next year.
    (see you tomorrow  :D)
    This is always the funny thing about posts like this, the poster always comes back to view the comments, I know I’ve done it myself!

    So, it’s not really slamming the door 🚪 and storming off;) No offence @swordfish

  • I have generally found Swordfishes posts more informative and thoughtful than most. 

    Can we make this an RIP thread?
    Killing him is a bit harsh in my opinion.

    You joined CL in May and now you're leaving?
    Did anyone start at the club in May and is now leaving?
    We've even had managers been here longer.
  • I've got nowhere else to go.  I talk bollocks, this site talks bollocks, Charlton are bollocks... Works well i think.
    Pollocks sounds better…

    Boo! Surely another reincarnation must be due 😉
    Are there any anagrams left that he hasn't already used? Bi-borg maybe?

    Swordfish is back, 
    Hello hello.
  • I'm joining swordfish. I'll start again next year. 
    Yeah, me too. I've had it with this place as well. Think I will take the rest of the year off too.

    I once took a few months off and then came back. The odd thing was that the ‘Whatever happened to Uboat?’ thread where everyone talked about what a great guy I was seemed to have been accidentally deleted, because I couldn’t find it anywhere. 
    You’re 🍀, I never got a thread when I disappeared for awhile! 

    Did you pay 💰 or sleep 🛌 with anyone to get them to start one?
  • It sunk @Uboat

    Surely, you mean torpedoed?

    Signing off it for now?

    As I said to an employee I was glad to see the back of

    "well, obviously I would be sorry to lose your contribution to the team, but if you think it is for the best it really is your decision.  I think you have some annual leave left, don't you?"
    I'll just be clearing my desk then! No need to call security. See you on the other side, hopefully of a takeover by someone with loadsamoney.  Burger.B 😎

    P.S. Warning. I've had a few. Can't get through this evening without, but before I go, how my first sentence escaped a Kenneth Williams is beyond me?

    Yeah,  you said that 8 hours ago.... 

    :-)
  • Thanks for the memories 
  • Yeah, Swordfish definitely previously posted under another moniker...

    For that reason I have paid attention to their posts, which are generally bright and cheerful. 

    See you when you return under some other name, yo

    @Siv_in_Norfolk, @TEL.  FYI I previously posted as @unjpc49427, but I won't be regenerating again.
