Good day for all, well, not for Charlton

It's always a good day when it starts with soccer on television.
This morning I enjoyed watching Tottenham Hotspur run riot over crisis-club Charlton Athletic, 5-1. Dimitar Berbatov (pictured) scored a brace for Spurs. After six successive seasons in the top-flight, Charlton are in real trouble during this seventh season in the Premiership. The Addicks sit second from bottom in the table, and really look likely to drop.
After 90 minutes of watching Spurs romp, now I am helping to clean the house, aided by a soundtrack of vintage UK punk and post-punk rock on the iPod.
I'm listening to songs such as "I Don't Want to Eat (With the Family)," the wonderful B-side to the debut single by Worcester's Dangerous Girls.
The song details a decidedly PUNK attitude: No more eating Sunday roast with the family. How's that for taking aim at a British institution?
The Dangerous Girls weren't girls at all. Michael Robert Cooper sang, Rob Peters played drums, Rob Rampton played bass and Chris Ames played guitar.
"Chris?" Couldn't they have got in another Robert?
