Alan's faded boat will no longer smile at me in the morning, at first I thought this breakage was nothing bad a terrible omen to come, then I thought on a little

It was laying a ghost to rest, no more thinking "what would Curbs do?"

The pr'aps king is dead, finally, long live the nice flat cap King

    I have a work Charlton mug and a home Charlton mug. I would be distraught if either broke. Or if anyone else used them.

    I don't like the sound of all this, and am glad I don't have a Charlton mug of any description. Does it mean we will be relegated by Christmas and extinct by May?

    I broke mine the night I got it. El kak had just popped a last minute free kick past Blackburn to win the game. Went home handle less.

    One of my housemates at uni broke my Charlton mug last year, but didn't have the heart to tell me. 5 lads and not one could offer any explanation other than shrugged shoulders. I blame that moment for why I failed

    I had a Charlton mug but the handle fell off as I picked it up full of tea. It was only a couple of months old. If memory serves me well, it happened on the day Les Reed was appointed, but I might be making that up.

    its quite appropriate that your curbs mug has left you after 15 years service when you think about it...?

    sorry for your loss :~(

    RIP fatkit mug.

    The sad demise of the mug puts everything in perspective. We must try to think of a fitting memorial. Should we consider naming one of the stands after it?

    Rename the JSS stand "The Mugs Stand" Would be very apt when we play palace and millwall.

    An Aussie fella in the IT department next door took my Charlton mug when I forgot to put it in my desk. This is the conversation that followed when I asked for it back:

    Me: Excuse me, mate, can I have my mug back please?

    Aussie: That's a bit f*cking petty, isn't it?

    Me: You what?

    Aussie: It's a bit f*cking petty. It's only a f*cking mug.

    Me: What are you swearing for, mate? I'm being polite, aren't I? I know it's only a mug but it's MY mug.

    Aussie: Take you fucking mug.

    Me: (grabbing mug off him): YOU F*CKING PRICK!

    Don't worry, Hawksmoor, I am mobilising the Red Division right now, and we'll be round in a jiffy.

    I have a Charlton mug, which sits unused in a cupboard, next to a Palace one bought for me as a pisstake. The 2 glare and scowl at each other at nightime no doubt.

    This reminded me that on the pies website I saw this photo of a young Curbs...
