  • 1547, Edward VI bans execution by boiling.
    Execution by boiling was reserved for poisoners. The nickname for executioners was William Boilman for many years afterwards
    Billy Boilman scans better.  In fact he should've been billed as Billy 'The Boiler' Boilman.
  • The lyrics of Abba's Should I Laugh, Or Cry?  come to mind.
    The song concerns a frustrating, unhappy and ongoing relationship.
    The words that don't fit our situation are struck through. 

    He stands towering over me beside my bed
    Losing his head

    Tells me I must take him seriously
    Droning on, the usual way, he's such a clever guy
    And I wonder, should I laugh or cry?

    He's dressed in the striped pyjamas that I bought
    Trousers too short

    Gives me of his small philosophy
    Carries on the way he does. And, me, I get so tired
    And I wonder, should I laugh or cry?

    Strange how dangerously indifferent I have grown - 
    Cold as a stone
    No more pain where there was pain before
    Far away he rambles on, I feel my throat go dry
    And I wonder, should I laugh or cry?

  • Thread title should be changed to 'Sale of Charlton - Abandon hope all ye who enter here'
  • If any of the Belgians have read Grapevine's suggestion this will probably be mentioned in the next Fans Forum as a serious bid! 
    I’m certain it’s been read. Proved many times that they monitor this forum. 

    Hi Tony :wink:

    Well maybe we need a shorter simpler version for them to understand, preferably written in paint

    As we are waiting for the sale of Charlton; its only been 22 months and counting - mainly by 3blokes,Here's a little teaser.

    Which English player has the most Premier games without getting a full cap. Try not to cheat !  I really struggled with this one.

    Any breaking news will take priority.
    Reo-Coker?

    I know he never got a cap but was on standby for a World Cup and a European Championships. 
    Was anyone listening to 5 Live last night? They were talking about the problem with Solskjaer not being able to attract as many big names as Pep and Klopp and either Jermaine Jenas or the other one said “If you’re Nigel Reo-Coker are you really gonna sign for Solskjaer over Pep or Klopp?”. Have I missed something? I didn’t understand why they were talking about big names then they mentioned him?
    Double barrel, fair few letters.

  • Isn't it time to change the thread title again?
    Sale of Charlton - there is no sale of Charlton.
    Perhaps it's time for the thread to have it's own theme tune?  From your suggestion I was thinking Donovan's There is a mountain, the main gist of which is 

    First there is a mountain, then there is no mountain, then there is
    First there is a mountain, then there is no mountain, then there is

    I have no clue what Donovan was going on about and that also fits in quite nicely with my understanding of this thread.

    Having sex with Ada by Ian Drury, I have changed the title because of the swearing ban, does not have the same ring to it, I must admit
  • That's LDTs British group out the window then
  • Why no minutes from the fans forum meeting?

    Why are ordinary fans treated like 2nd class citizens, kept in the dark and lied to?
  • I hope the club will be sold on page 2,019.

    The most positive thing I've said all day.

    I must of missed it, why is there another FF meeting so soon after the last? Is it a new strategy by fans to get the club to embarrass themselves on a more regular basis.
    The club tried to change the agenda to be just about the "vandalism" and the "proposal" and so said they would be another FF meeting to discuss other issues and in particular the transfer window.

    Steve Gallen is meant to be there tonight but, no disrespect to SG, I hope the bonkers statement is top of the agenda.
  • edited March 2019
    SG and other staff are at the meeting, which is a full FF, the last one as mentioned was reduced to major issues in the end, with only LdT/TR present, I'm dialled in to this one..

    I won't be commenting further until minutes.. soz
  • Yer man Luke Perry has died. 
    He’s most famous for being in Beverly Hills 90210.

    Everyone has been still sitting around the table since last week, but have only just stopped laughing at the owners antics - but LDT has somehow managed to keep a straight face.
  • Yet another of Roland's "suitors"...   yeh rooight mate!

    Takeover

    LDT said much of the takeover was discussed last week (in last week's Fans' Forum) and there has been no big changes since then. He said that the owner’s demand had been submitted to the EFL and that they heard back that the EFL have received the request.

    He said RD is not willing to decrease the asking price. He said ideas are welcome from the Fans’ Forum to speed up the takeover process.

    SC asked about rumours in the press that an offer of £35m had been turned down.

    LDT said the only offers that have been refused have been ones where the new owners would pay rent for the stadium and training ground, which would have been separate from the club.

    LDT said there had been no £35m offer received for the club.

    LDT said RD is only looking to sell the club as a whole – training ground, stadium and the football club.

    But you have to pay £1 for the club and £77m for the ground and training complex
