    dont be suprised if he suddenly gets a load in a weeks time.

    was my wifes birthday last week and 10 days before ordered a card from me and another from our boys (all on one order).
    The boys' card arrived two days later and today my card arrived. Twice !!

    That's a good choice of favourite players. Have really enjoyed listen to the Steve Sutherland podcast interviewing Keith Peacock with all his stories.

    I managed to get out today and a belated card is on its way to Dad (Alan).

    Been asleep through today - NHS nights.

    Dad said he received another 25 cards today. Fantastic effort, including one from Fanny 😃 A very happy and greatfuli Alan in sunny Sheffield today. That said, he said he felt a bit of a fraud as he said he's not totally alone as people have delivered him food. Silly bugger. 

    Any other questions Charlton or meaning of life related for him are most welcome.

    How good was Derek Ufton?

    He won an England cap but, as a centre half, probably wouldn't have passed the 'Charlton Life Height Test.'

    Happy birthday Alan. Ms Latimer lives in Mosborough south Sheffield and she shares the same birthday as you and Florence Nightingale. Which is also another coincidence as 12th May is international Nurses day and Ms Lat is a community matron. Hope you had a lovely day

    Don't do that, don't you remember the 'question for BDL thread'? People will be asking if a shark would win a fight with a crocodile

    I just want to know whether he managed to give himself eighty bumps on his birthday.

    He will so if he drinks all of the booze that people sent him. 😁

    I'm certain that I speak for all Lifers that responded to the request.

    It was our pleasure.

    Crikey Alan, you sure you’re 80?
    I see the Smith Family card made the front row.
    I hope Paul Edwards didn’t mind me using his photo? He does take a cracking picture 😳🤣🤣
