    I met a traveller from an antique land,
    Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
    Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
    Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
    And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
    Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
    Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
    The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
    And on the pedestal, these words appear:
    My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
    Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
    Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
    Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
    The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

    Ah, a fellow Breaking Bad fan!
    He's not seen it all - he just likes poetry, that bloody dramatist... ;)

    Though given he's a drama teacher, we'll discuss poetry, theatre or literature at least once a day!

    You may talk o' gin and beer
    When you're quartered safe out 'ere,
    An' you're sent to penny-fights an' Aldershot it;
    But when it comes to slaughter
    You will do your work on water,
    An' you'll lick the bloomin' boots of 'im that's got it.
    Now in Injia's sunny clime,
    Where I used to spend my time
    A-servin' of 'Er Majesty the Queen,
    Of all them black-faced crew
    The finest man I knew
    Was our regimental bhisti, Gunga Din.
    He was "Din! Din! Din!
    You limping lump o' brick-dust, Gunga Din!
    Hi! slippery hitherao!
    Water, get it! Panee lao!
    You squigy-nosed old idol, Gunga Din."
  • Given how things have gone under RD, I'll happily take my chances with almost any new owner
  • Can we just talk in poems from now on?
  • I'm anticipating some bad tempered, 'I opened this thread after seeing 50 unread posts only to find...' type comments.

    Mary had a little lamb
    She kept it in a bucket
    And every time that lamb got loose
    The dog would try to fuck it.
    There was a lady from Ealing
    She had a wonderful feeling
    She laid on her back



    You know the rest

    I see what you did there, a good nod to Sheff Unt :smile:
  • Okay, I've gone off poetry now.

    Next distraction please.
  • Can someone get the phone?

    I opened this thread expecting,
    To see Roland Duchatelet leaving,
    But what I faced instead,
    Filled me with dread,
    50 new posts of rhyming!
  • If and when the new owners take over I hope they keep Robinson on as I think he is doing a decent job and knows this division. If we get to the championship and they are ambitious then maybe change it up to get us to next level as I am not sure he has what it takes to get us there.

    Good effort. The half-rhyme of 'Robinson' with 'division', the assonance in 'owners take over I hope', the alliteration in 'doing a decent...division'. With a few metaphors and biblical allusions, you might be onto something special here.

    I'm talking this as a reference to Mr Duchatelet.

    The beauty of Charlton Life, Whilst we are waiting around for the takeover to happen, we are reciting Shelley to each other.

  • Got a "we're over capacity" message when I tried to load CL. My heart skipped a beat thinking it was done. Now I'm sad. :(

    I'm in DD right now. Target said £Xm 9 months ago. Then it was half X. Now it's 1/4 X and we're closing. Rich people believe their own press until each set of financial results prove otherwise.

    When push comes to shove, RD will sell as he knows his business model doesn't work. He just can't admit it in public.

    Trust me. It's sold before the end of the season.

    You're in DD's?. I'm on my way.
    It is the weekend..
  • With keen anticipation
    Billowing in the air
    I clicked on this thread
    Praying it was the end of Meire

    With over 100 new posts
    I started to peruse
    However, another false dawn beckoned
    Roland was still here in his duct tape shoes

    Due diligence is complete
    According to some in the know
    But others say nothing is happening
    Which only confounds the woe

    Imagine there's no heaven
    It's easy if you try
    No hell below us
    Above us only sky
