Said Pauline to Mick last Friday night, “Are there any Charlton players here at the World Cup 2010?”.

“Oh no!” replied Mick.

“That must say something” thought Pauline. But… there are!

And what a week we Charlton fans working at Hide All have had. Up to 7 players (thinks Mick, or 6 for Pauline and Nick!). The highlight being the Denmark game last Monday - what a surprise. Answers at the end of this blog…

And… Charlton community scheme was discussed extensively on BBC Radio 5 Live this morning, the template for Ajax Cape Town community scheme - how proud we are! Well done Jason Morgan.

And a mention here of Sean Bartlett and Mark Fish, Charlton’s Premiership South African players! Fondly remembered.

Here are the the answers to the Charlton players (past and sadly not present) now at the 2010 World Cup…

Nigeria - Danny Shittu

USA - Jonathan Spector

Algeria - Madjd Bougherra

Denmark - Stephan Anderson and Dennis Rommedahl

Cameroon - Alex Song

England - Jermain Defoe (not included in Pauline and Nick’s list!)

 Good luck to England tonight!

New West End cufflinks all retailing at £19.99.

When do you wear cufflinks? For Nick it’s weddings and meetings, James it’s school, parties and Player of the Year and for Mick - well he just dresses for the occasion!

James, the Hide All music expert, treated his mum Pauline to a night out at the Union Chapel, Islington - Andrew Bird performing at his very best, with lots of impromptu whistling and violin playing. Original and inspiring, we love his work - see a selection of his performances on Andrew’s YouTube channel.

And Charlton results. We won’t talk about the bad ones, but Saturday 5-1 to us! We’re still watching those goals on BBC iPlayer. Lloyd Sam’s is Mick’s favourite - what’s yours?

Plus the Olympic Aquatic Centre’s roof went up - on schedule! Whenever you drive along the dual carriageway (A12) it’s always so exciting to see the progress of the Olympic site.

We at Hide All (well, not everyone!) are big Charlton FC supporters and season ticket holders - so far so good for our team! It’s been a great season in terms of enjoyment, with the club regrouping and building for the future. Whoopee!

So as big sports fans, we’re also hugely excited for the Olympics to arrive in London. Mr. Hide All, Mick, has given his view on the event and how it will affect local businesses - including ourselves - in Greenwich Time magazine. Not long to wait til 2012!

Continuing our sports-themed entry, we can’t forget to mention Hide All’s own sports star, ’six-goals’ Nick, who was Player of the Year for HeFC and will hopefully be achieving the same title again this year (but in a higher division!) HeFC play every Saturday in the Bromley and Croydon Division 2. How many goals have you scored this season Nick?
