I do like his enthusiasm for CAFC.BR3red said:
It is my fault as obviously I intoduced him, I didn't learn as I also intoduced his little brother..
Ultimately all of this is my Dad's and Grandad's fault, not mine ;-)

Well... if you know his sleeping habits :-)BR3red said:
But anyway I would like to say you should be proud of a job well done. What a fantastic young man you have there.
B, thank you. He thinks I'm the worst son in the world because my room is messy now and again, so you've helped. ;-).
U are not out of the woods!
Might post a pic of your room on here....frankly alot more disorganised than the regime #doublestandards22 -

Just about to get my head down in St Truiden. If taxi drivers are any measure our StTruiden taxi driver has told us he loves the protest taxi and has taken a lot of pictures. He is adamant Roland is all about money, although he agrees he doesn't understand Roland either. He said everybody (in St Truiden) hates Roland. Was well aware of the duck tape story, said with some distain Roland drives an 8 year old Citroen C5 dark grey estate, and best of all Roland buys his clothes in the equivalent of Oxfam shops.
Davo and Henry Irving were witnesses to this conversation, it certainly felt authentic and credible to me.
Roland is a Scroog skinflint is the most consistent mood music I have heard about him. More consistent than the mad professor theory.28 -
I tweeted the story courtesy of @BDL's video of the cab to Mark Clemmit, George Riley and Kelly Cates. Got a retweet from dear Clem, with lots of applause emojis. Think we have won him over.18

And great retweet of an article and pic by Philippe Auclair, journalist and writer with 118k followers. Wish I knew how to post Tweets on here!6

Well done guys. I have to say I'm somewhat surprised who has gone out there. Best wishes for tomorrow.seth plum said:Just about to get my head down in St Truiden.

Out here is a mixture of CARD organisers and CARD volunteers. All passionate in their hatred of the regime and all prepared to do their bit to fight them. Great people and great support from everyone at home. The protest fund "till" has been ringing constantly. Thank you all.22

May I add that those of us here in Belgium today would not be able to feel as confident as we do without the certain knowledge that the overwhelming majority of out fans support this effort.
We know hundreds of you would do the same if you were in a position to do and we are merely the physical manifestation of all of you who care all of you who write in support, who join in protests, who contribute to the fighting fund, all of you who boycott, all of you who spread the word.
We are not particularly special but doing what many others would do too. The creativity, collective effort, intelligence and wit of our fan base is everybody's, some of us are here unelected and singular but deep down I know I am here trying to do something on behalf of everybody.
Thanks for the messages of support but the best expression will be a passionate protest from all of us at the Sheffield United game.

It just makes no sense why someone so frugal would piss away so much money on a project he has no genuine interest in .seth plum said:He is adamant Roland is all about money, although he agrees he doesn't understand Roland either.

It can only mean he's stark raving mad!
Many sad returns Roly .7 -

Yes, have done so -only 328 votes so far but not surprisingly 96% say 'Oui" to the question 'Should Duchatelet leave Charlton?' Let's see some more votes cast as another Birthday message.PragueAddick said:
Currently running at 95% "sell". Let's help get the other figure down to 2%...Stig said:
There's a survey at the bottom of that article. I believe 'oui' is the answer most Charlton fans would want to give.twiggyaddick said:Alrrady making news in belgium...

Just spoke briefly to FF. They were in the cab heading for the main square. S-T is a pleasant country town just getting going on Monday morning. All good so far. Davo's just been on the dog with the Evening Standard.
