    A serious one here. The 7th Doctor (Sylvester McCoy) 's companion ACE was a Charlton fan. Watch the first episode of 'Silver Nemesis' and at the start Ace says "wicked, Charlton got 3 points on Saturday"

    (yes I'm a geek)

    Pretty sure in my yoof, I saw her being interviewed on, I don't know, Blue Peter or something and the characters outfit included a bomber jacket covered in patches and badges and she pointed out the Charlton badge on it.
    I think a lot of my mates fancied her but I had recently discovered Daphne from Neighbours so was no longer interested in Dr Who....
    That would be right as in the story immediately before Silver Nemesis, called The Happiness Patrol, Ace was asked where her off world badge was, and she responded by saying "Badge? I've got a badge, this one's Charlton Athletic" while pointing to her bomber jacket.

    Yes, I'm a geek too.
    One of Us! One of Us!
    (haven't seen The Happiness Patrol in donkeys years but saw Silver Nemesis the other week so that's why it was fresh)

    No cigars for you lot.
  • The Ferrari F1 team fired their entire pit crew yesterday. This announcement followed Ferrari's decision to take advantage of the British government's 'Work for your Dole' scheme and employ some Liverpudlian youngsters.

    The decision to hire them was brought about by a recent documentary on how unemployed youths from Toxteth were able to remove a set of wheels in less than 6 seconds without proper equipment, whereas Ferrari's existing crew could only do it in 8 seconds with millions of pounds worth of high-tech equipment. It was thought to be an excellent, bold move by the Ferrari management team as most races are won and lost in the pits, giving Ferrari an advantage over every other team.

    However, Ferrari got more than they bargained for. At the crew's first practice session, not only was the Scouse pit crew able to change all four wheels in under 6 seconds but, within 12 seconds, they had re-sprayed, re-badged and sold the car to the McLaren team for 8 cases of Stella, a bag of weed and some photos of Lewis Hamilton's bird in the shower!

    He thought he was on the Jokes thread.
  • Sophie Alred who played Ace in Doctor Who is a Charlton supporter, lives in Blackheath, was a season ticket holder to recently I think.
  • Tintin. He's related apparently.

    Expliquez, s'il vous plaît.
    Anything to do with Herge being a Belgian collaborator?
  • Found a transcript of Silver Nemesis (no idea why, I'm not a Doctor Who fan), and it's confirmed!

    (The Courtney Pine Jazz quartet are playing to an appreciative audience in bright sunshine, including the Doctor and Ace - who is wearing a short sleeved t-shirt in November?)

    ACE: I could listen to them all afternoon.

    DOCTOR: And so we shall.

    (Ace picks up the Daily Mirror with the headline Meteor Approaches England and reads the back page.)

    ACE: Have you seen this? Charlton picked up three points.
