Congratulations @Sat In Greenwich. May you enjoy the sleepless nights... And then more when they're 18.
cheers everyone. we're all home now - we are all completely knackered. missus produced a biggun, 9lb 11. the boy will be home from nans soon too, so the recovery and new routine will begin. the boy's signed up to little kickers now - i've told him we wont be going football for a while so this is a make weight. whilst waiting around to be discharged this morning, i thought - i've been 100 times more effective at increasing charlton numbers than roland has lol
Football's favourite One Man Schmaltz Show is poised for a return to football- as Nigel Pearson's No.2 at Villa Stand by for a deluge of posts on CL pronouncing Villa as "my second favourite Club"
Trawling through Twitter and watching the Snooker, going over today's events (both the match and the problems with CARD!); have to say well done on the start the NOT606 Twitter has made - very proactive approach with it and it'll be interesting to see if the engagement brings in any good new regulars here. Perhaps our annual NOT606 alternative end of season awards will be a good opportunity for engaging with new customers?
I'm conscious not to make the Twitter page a recruitment drive. There is a link for the site and have made mention of a couple of the conversations - and if people decide to pop over, then amazing. the idea is to make not606 - Charlton a "brand" as it were. Got a few more ideas to hopefully run in conjunction with the home page and Twitter . Thanks for the kind words - and thanks again to everyone who has helped getting involved. Should also give Ah a special mention who has been Twitter crazy today.
I just don't think people are interested in trying to get you off of Twitter. It's almost like "click bait". Viewing numbers have increased significantly, and hopefully some will take the plunge - but I think both can co-exist and compliment each other nicely. I might start taking direct quotes from the site and attributing them to the poster - but I'd feel better getting all of you guys permission before doing such a thing. Maybe a 48 hour poll tomorrow just to see if there are any reservations.
SiG. Congratulations mate. All the best for you and the missus. And remember, for Addicks these days it' s target 20000. Go forth and multiply more!
You have my permission to quote me Super - do it as often as you like I am hoping to get on Charlton Live tonight to talk about relegation and CARD's eunuchs. Little Louis Mendez has been politely asked to let me on in between giving free plugs to VOTV and the museum (not that he is part of the Clique, of course, ahem..). See if it happens.
Congratulations SIG . 9.11... bet that made the missus eyes water . You've both done your bit for target 20,000 as well as the human race. After my 2nd boy popped out I was straight down Blackheath Hospital to have my plumbing capped off
lol, thankfully she had opted for a c-section. we had complications with the first so it was safer all round. if she would have pushed our girl out i have a feeling i'd have been left feeling inadequate for the rest of our lives! whilst we were waiting for the "op" the couple in front of us in the queue were arguing. the bloke wanted his missus sterilised at the same time to save another hospital trip. he "couldnt afford a third child" he said.
I tried getting on Charlton Live tonight to ask some salient questions about CARD. 83% of Charlton fans thought the Arab protest yesterday was "embarrassing", but Louis was more interested in plugging the "excellent" (his word) Voice of the Bitter. Unfortunately Louis Mendez is very much part of the CL/CAST in crowd, and he then Blocked me after I questioned whether that appalling, barely coherent female guest presenter tonight was Catherine Tate. That was after I followed his advice on being refused a live interview, and Tweeted my questions about CARD in.
