i can tell you, getting publicly panned by people who don't even really know you, plus have the wrong end of the stick is a real enjoyable way to start the morning. Not.
I've taken to going home late and coming in early - just so that I don't arrive to find some **** has sent me another stroppy email. The stroppy emails still come, but at least I don't have to face them first thing!
Anyway, it's all getting a tad silly if you ask me. All this talk of "loyalty" to a board which only exists in cyberspace is a bit much. But then we are football fans - and Charlton fans at that - so blind loyalty is a bit of a general specialism I guess.
Don't get drawn AFKA. No point trying to fight a battle that will never be won - only ends in one thing. (You hear me George W?)
and you have to swap papers for the answers, and when the bloke reads out the score at the end, the other team had marked us down by 4 points. We just laughed, but
ITS A PUB QUIZ, NOT A CHANCE TO WIN A MILLION POUNDS !!!
On a more serious note to this thread if people are genuinely interested in a gathering, I could pull a string or two & possibly get us the Millennium suite at the Valley ?
04_MCS: Lol! If you'd met me mate you'd know that "gastro pubs" ain't really my thing. In fact they're probably up there with womens clothes shops and Beirut as places I just do not want to go to!
Sorry, its what i call em, i even prefered an old mans pubs when i was 16 to 25, used to frequent the Guy in Welling every day after work from 16 till bout 21! Never liked these new fangled jobbies!
Well, there's the Richard I in Greenwich (round the back, just past the police station) or else the Plume of Feathers at Maze Hill (2 mins from station - near entrance to park) for starters - if you don't know them already. Cracking couple of pubs they are. Also the Ashburnham Arms in Greenwich (down a backstreet heading towards Deptford) is worth a visit - if only to have a go on the bar billiards table.
Nah, not been in any of those mentioned, will defo give the plume a blast, its the only one i've heard of, shame about the palarse thing tho, a pizzed up mcs wouldn't be able to hold his mouth!! I am organising a leaving do for a girl who left here last weeek, and now i am gonna do it in the plume, cheers off_it and curm_it.

Maybe someone could organise a joint Charlton Life/Netaddicks get together. Might I suggest ACAS as a suitable venue?
(Tell you what though, if that "On_it" character shows up from "their" board I'll have the scroat!)
I think a few might be consumed after this

So we put down George Bush, and we get it wrong, cos he wanted George W Bush.
Not impressed.

Ketman, that sounds a decent idea, anyone else up for this???
"Old mans pubs" indeed!
Any news on guests yet Curb_It?
Where about's do you live/work? I might be able to suggest a few new ones for you to try out - "old man pubs" is my specialist subject!
Two Fosters, John Smith's and a Kaliber for the homosexual was coming to £8.30.
You been to any of those before?
shame about the palace pennant behind the bar tho.
Now that's BAD. Quiz night questions should NEVER have ambiguous answers.
