How much are you looking to pay? I know the lead singer out of Brighton band Birdeatsbaby and she teaches piano just off London Road. Think she charges £30 an hour, £15 a half hour for individual lessons. Also she has bright orange hair, which frankly should be a pre-requistite for piano...

FWIW at Charlton we remember fans who have passed away at one game per season. People contact the club with their names and these are scrolled on the big screen before the game, accompanied by two minutes' applause. This fulfills a need to remember people whilst only 'affecting' one game per...

Bet Victor is my tip. Found I had an unused tenner credit (from years ago most likely) on there. Very surprised that their each way gives quarter odds for the first SIX. I thought they'd compensate for this with shorter odds but the 33/1 I got on Boston Bob was the best price available too.

Loving the bemused look Josie Long gives the shouting lady at the end of this clip... https://twitter.com/conoriblue/status/718757771257229312

Presumably so. The Facebook events re Downing Street posted earlier only had about 3,000 listed as attending and usual actual attendance for demos is 10-20% of FB figure, so 400 people is what I'd expect there. People on Twitter claiming about 1,500 for the Connaught Rooms one, so that would be...

Downing Street was a diversion. Main demo is outside the Tory Spring Conference in Covent Garden, where protestors have blocked the front and back entrances (Cameron is among those inside).

Fair comment. On the other hand, if the West Concourse and BUPA Lounge sell out, why not offer Charlton fans part of the North Concourse and/or Dicks Bar? It's all extra 'gate money' for the Albion, after all... *some kind of smiley that indicates tongue-in-cheekness*

Ironically this is also a chance for Sussex-based Charlton fans to watch the game without handing over any money to our evil owner!

The only solution to road congestion is to ban private car ownership, other than in exceptional circumstances where a GENUINE need for one can be proven (eg disability, living in an otherwise inaccesible rural area, etc). Unfortunately, such is the fetishisation of the motor vehicle (see...

Virgin Trains. Undeserved reputation in that everyone slags them off when they're (in my experience) the best train company in Europe by miles. As long as you book in advance you can get a first class ticket for cheap. I've never paid more than £49 each way from Brighton to Manchester (and as...

No idea tbh. When there have been post-match demos arranged, quite a few people (including absentee ST holders) have just turned up for those protests. However, there haven't been official after match protests the past couple of games (getting the game delayed by chucking stuff on the pitch at...

The home end WAS on general sale but is now back to restricted. I expect it has to be (police orders?) where the away end is sold out. Certainly the Charlton website says there will be no more online sales and that anyone who buys in person or on the phone has to be a ST holder or Red Card...

It's definitely 3,000 or 10% if capacity is less than 30k in PL. This is the current Premier League rulebook: http://www.premierleague.com/content/dam/premierleague/site-content/News/publications/handbooks/premier-league-handbook-2015-16.pdf It's Rule R.8 on page 177 (of the document, 184 of...

Have seen a lot of posters criticising as 'small' the allocation of 3,000-ish away tickets that Charlton have given you. Whilst I appreciate you could take far more, a couple of quick points: 1. Bournemouth on the last day of last season is the ONLY time an away team has ever been given more...

Have you only had the 2965 mentioned originally? I'm pretty sure the full capacity of the Jimmy Seed is closer to 3400. Some of the seats behind the pillar and/or in the very back rows are often released as restricted view seats once an away team sells out of the main allocation. Not many iirc...

Bournemouth were given an extra 1,400 seats in the West Upper (a third of the upper tier nearest the away end) on the last day of last season, but it didn't go down well with ST holders moved out of their usual seats. Partly as the club compensated them with a voucher for a free pie before the...

Back in the far distant Premier League days, Charlton received planning permission to up the capacity to 41k (currently it's 27k). Apart from a few thousand in a second tier on the East Stand, this increase was all based around the Jimmy Seed stand (away end), knocking the whole existing stand...

Er, the exact opposite. Not sure if you've missed it in the media but Charlton fans are at war with our owners and are currently trying to hit them in the pocket wherever possible. Around 3,000 of our 10k ST holders actively boycott the ground; people are refusing to buy food, drink or...

Hope he gets the help he needs. Instead of joining in the vile Twitter dogpile, I have been following the attempts of a person who knows him (a lefty woman he lists as a co-director of his PR firm) to get him arrested or sectioned all day. The PR company is fictional (his own creation) and it...

Perennially injured. Plays one game, two at best, then is out for a month or two. Over and over again.
