in General Charlton
But as I was undercoating skirting boards in 8 offices just outside Boston today, I was thinking....... now I've been a supporter since 83 ish,nearest I've lived to se7 is south Lincolnshire,every home game I go to feels like going home. So was thinking we need to up the embarrassment on our mate two sheds......so adding a bit more white spirit to me undercoat to make it run more smoothly(trade tip).....am I right in thinking you only need 100,000 signatures to get a question raised in parliament????? Now this might be done at 1.30 in the morning but could be a smack in the face for our wannabe Belgian politician owner..... I'm quite sure we still hold cred with a lot of prem clubs( as fans)
I wouldn't know how to start such a thing or the wording,I'm sure we have fans that could
Shoot me down for working a Sunday, my Mrs has

    Were the offices well ventilated when you applied the undercoating?

    When you say "adding a bit more white spirit to me undercoat " do you mean you are drinking white spirit?

    I think the petition for signatures would have been looked at by card etc but not being happy with the way your club is run isn't really going to get you anywhere, you would need something big that meant the council/government could legally have a say in/take control of the club.

    Unfortunately being a prick would more than likely make you friends in the House of Commons...

    Thanks for the thought, but don't think it's justified & we wouldn't get 100,000 sigs.

    Saw the thread title and was drawn to it like a moth to a flame, thinking I was going to have to make some heads roll. Relieved that I don't.


    Carry on.

    The only thing that goes on my chips is ketchup. I'm not born and bred Northern (thank fook).

    Seriously though, Do you notice that you have picked up any local traits?

    I've lived in Yorkshire since I was eight years old (I'm now in my 44th year) so I guess that makes me northen by default. I sound like a northerner definitely but I'm not sure you could class me as typically 'northern' whatever that is. Politically I guess I'm typically 'northern' as I despise the way that government is so Southern (especially London and the home counties) centric but apart from that I'm just me. I live in a small market town now, fourteen miles from York and my veggie lifestyle is far removed from the meat pie and chops lovers of my neighbours. It's a connundrum really as I don't feel particulary at home up here yet if I moved down south I really don't think I'd feel I belonged there either. I guess at heart I'm just a nomad.

    How come you support Charlton if you've been 'oop north' since the age of 8?

    Poor judgment.

    We all made the same mistake.

    Family on my mum's side were from London @LenGlover and my aunt's fella back in the day was a Charlton fan and he influenced me. It would have been easy to support Liverpool as a lot of my classmates did (glory hunting little shits) but before I arrived in Yorkshire I'd lived in Canada since I was a toddler and to be honest I didn't really know what football was nor did I really begin to appreciate it until I was around 10/11. My dad isn't a football fan so 'Uncle' Ian seized the oppurtunity to swell the Addicks fanbase by one. I wish I could use the excuse that it's in the blood but I could have easily ended up supporting any number of teams. I'm certainly glad I didn't though despite the state the club are in today. I will always be proud to call myself an Addick.

    last season @ Preston I got chatting to a middle aged bloke from York, York born n bred he told me .. I asked how he had become an Addick ..
    seems at age of about 7 he'd opened the first copy of 'Charles Buchan's Football Weekly' that his dad had bought him and CAFC was the featured 'centrefold', luckily all the players were kitted and booted, not naked, otherwise he might have been put off for life and taken up pigeon racing ..
    my chatmate had been hooked on CAFC ever since .. who said words to the effect of: 'give me the child and I will build you the man' ?

    When I ate before the fleetwood game in the fish and chip shop I was very alarmed at the amount of salt she seemed to be leathering my food with. I had to stop her and say that's too much. You may all enjoy high blood pressure up here but where I come from (London), that's not acceptable

    God help all of you north of the Watford Gap if that's how you behave
