It was a difficult count Longsidepies. It was needed so that we could distinguish the pineapples from the pears

[RalphCoatesComb]

DON'T tell Sean that we used "striped" socks for goodness sake

[Redbeard]

Villa just couldn't handle all of those peach pieces

[wilks_bfc]

I don’t know what I’m more shocked at
That game or that I’m finally off the mark

[Bosscat]

Yayyyyy 3 points for the juicy joooose ...

Get in

[Redbeard]

Meanwhile my 1.5 has seen me quietly up to 22nd.

Just watch it, Ralphie.

[Rowls]

A great count Ralphie.

Personally I thought you were a bit open at the back in your choice of tin but your counting flair won it in the end.

The results speak for themselves: 3 points for the Clarets.

It was the tinned fruit wot won it

[Aclaret]

Question for Redbeard.
Ralph states that I was nearest with 109 total number of healthy fruit pieces. Is this not worthy of a bonus point ? I don't want to appear like I'm desperate for the points but I could easily have been the difference between the clarets achieving 1 or 3 points.
I eagerly wait for your response on this important matter.

[Longsider]

In the excitement of tonight's result Redbeard I think you might have inadvertently added my points tally up wrong. I think I now have reached the lofty highs of 2.5 total points and not 2

Excuse me but I'm first outside Redbeards office

Just watch it, Ralphie.

With such an unassailable lead, I'd better get the bio-hazard suit out again soon!

Do we have a "volunteer" for the Chelski game, or is ir another Press Gang job

[Redbeard]

You are quite correct, Longsider.

Also, AClaret, you in fact were the main Winner with 5 points, though bonus points awarded only for strictly bang-on Estimates.

Apologies besides to cricketfield, who has 2 points: not 6 as I said.

Amended board will follow shortly.

[Aclaret]

Cheers Redbeard, the fruit wasn't in Sour Grape juice, honest. UTC......" The main winner " ☺ shuks.

[Longsider]

Nice one Red beard.

This one should be right.

In fact I am only joint 22nd.

And AClaret is up to 2nd!

[CharlieinNewMexico]

I have finally scored a point!!!

[RalphCoatesComb]

I wouldn't linger there too long, the Admiral has got form for setting his Press Gang on unsuspecting loiterers

Sorry Ralph I will need to be excused on the grounds of not being able, due to not being up on technology, still unable/ don't know how to post photographs on my crappy little phone and don't own a computer.
I still think I'm doing my bit though through my input with the estimating and will continue to do my best for the cause. Thanks for considering me.

You most certainly are "doing your bit". As one Supermarket is fond of telling us: "Every little helps" (Other stores are available ) And, I was concerned for your welfare re the Admiral's Press Gang buddies. Having fallen foul of their methods in the past, I like to keep people safe

[Redbeard]

I have just now contacted my soiicitor over these unfounded 'Press Gang' allegations.

He will begin work on the case immediately after regaining consciousness.
