Q. How come Chicago Addick, another Charlton fan far from home, has had more hits than me?
A. Because he writes more often about Charlton than I do.
So, for sports fans everywhere, here are a few links.
1. Charlton beat Newcastle 1-1
2. Curbs: We deserved to win
3. Inspector Sands cannot pretend to give .. a decent match report
4. Observer: Newcastle appear incapable
5. A great work ethic - Charlton players have it, Newcastle's don't.
Withe or without
Peter Withe, the 53-year-old former England striker, is a fellow Brit expat living in Jakarta. He manages the Indonesian football team. He says: You can get a pint of Tetley's pretty much anywhere these days.
Where Peter? Where?
Or do you mean tea?
MUSIC SECTION
This section is dedicated to that well-known, to Jakarta expats anyway, quizmaster DJ. The gossip grapevine tells us that he's on the mend in Carlisle, can now hear in both ears (so no more back chat in the deaf one) and due back soon when a special testimonial quiz will be held.
The following is my contribution.
Who's who of Brit hit makers?
Stuart Leslie Goddard
David Robert Hayward Stenton Jones
Paul Gadd
Arnold George Dorsey
Marie McDonald McLaughlin Lawrie
Farouk Bulsara
Yorgos Panayiotou
Mary O'Brien
Robin Peter Smith

ADDENDA
In the interest of those of my readers who wonder, like I do, what else needs to be told, I've researched a couple of gaps in yesterday's post.
1. SLPHT
This Indonesian acronym remains mysterious.
2. Insects
If you like a lot of insect for your money, you can buy them here.
And if, like Jakartass, you're worried about the plundering of scarce wildlife in Indonesia's rainforests, don't be.
They're from the Philippines, Brazil and Thailand.
