Steve - please re-read the third line in my post above.

You don't need any kind of help or permission from me: just go ahead if you like.

That's my last word on the matter.

Redbeard

Sorry, Steve, but I gave up on the TFC when once again we couldn't get a Count arranged for the opening day of the season. You carry on if you like, and good luck to you, but that was it for me. It would be pointless btw to try and persuade me otherwise. Meanwhile I have donated all my tins to the T...

Rowls - 'Take a dump' is American.

In English it's 'have a Blackburn Rovers'.

One thing Thomas Tuchel demands is work rate.

And what about this one, Billy? - Turn the volume up a bit.

'Der Bomber.'
The very best.
Another childhood hero gone.
RIP.

Redbeard

OK. I get it.
We seem to have forgotten that only the Count (and of course Chris Wood) kept us up last season.
Never mind, Steve. It was fun whilst it lasted.

@ Lenny.

Only an hour left for Officiation applications before the onset of Estimation time.

Lenny, you might as well concentrate on the cricket, mate...

Redbeard

Bloody hell, Steve! :o I was just about to post on that very subject! :lol: Yes - we need a volunteer Officiator please for the Brighton Count. The Count thread can be started at 2pm this afternoon so as to allow the full 24-hour Estimating time plus the extra hour for results/ winners/ leaderboard,...

Re. that flying save yesterday, Nick Pope would just have stood there and caught it, so as not to give away a corner.

Redbeard

Well, since in my opinion the woman IS one long needless disturbance, naturally I was struck by the coincidence, that's all.

Redbeard

Interestingly, the only lucid seven-letter anagram of 'Emma Hayes' is 'mayhems'; the meaning of which is 'needless disturbances'.

Exactly.

I thought the BBC had an option on the red button where you could turn commentary off?

I've tried that but without success, RB.

Redbeard

Revolutionary maybe, but I repeat that we should have the option of NO COMMENTARY AT ALL.
I've always managed without it at TM...

Redbeard

It's high time we were allowed the option of live crowd noise but without the intolerably banal and patronising commentary. Let those who want it have it, but allow us who don't a sound option other than turning it completely off. Watching silent football is nearly as bad as suffering Hayes, McCoist...

Redbeard

Perhaps the FedEx ads around Scotland's half of the pitch could be slightly altered for the second half against England, with the 'Ex' being replaced by 'Up'.

This would certainly enhance expressions on Scottish faces in the crowd and thus the overall entertainment value.

Just a thought, like.

Redbeard

Thanks for some great memories, John. I didn't really do testimonials but I did attend yours. You were simply class.

Redbeard

Many happy returns, Your Maj.

Redbeard

Either way, he could hardly have been better for us than Alexander proved to be!

Redbeard

Not of course that I'm still p1ssed off about that 'impish' FA Cup 'performance' at TM, but come on you Lashers and batter the dirty clogging ****s!

Redbeard

9. Very disappointing.

Some wonderful photography again, though.

Redbeard

He's not bad at kung fu either.

Don't I?

Many thanks to the man-and-dog production team, and sincere congrats to all of the winners.

Even BOT.

Claretdavid - Our traditional prize of the Fabled Knitted Garment will be delivered to your shop by Amazon later in the week.

Again, many congrats on your achievement.

Shall we call that a denial, then, david?

Surely you can see why any Officiator would be concerned. But I shall take your word for it and duly extend your lead at the top.

Very well Counted, and many congratulations!

Redbeard

The number of Units was very small indeed, the result being Peach 7, Pear 3, Apricot 2 and Pineapple 6, which gave a total of only 18. Meanwhile the jooose at 180mls was exactly ten times that. Kindonesque wins the total Unit Count with his guess of 20, and with a further point for the nearest pinea...

Redbeard

OK. That's it for entries.

Redbeard

We have twenty entries now, and there are forty-five minutes left for any more.

Redbeard

Very good, CB; very good.

Redbeard

No hint at all, Steve: it's your prerogative.

As Counters of old used to say: you never know until you open the Tin.

Redbeard

Steve - I have Counted up your Units to 93.

Redbeard

Kindonesque - I have worked out your Unit total at 20. Would you please now enter a figure (in ml) for the liquid content of our Tin?

Redbeard

Maybe your 7000th post will be a lucky one, Ralphie.

Redbeard

We presently have ten entries.

Redbeard

JD - Baked beans are better left alone, as per any commodity in gloopy thick sauce.

It's always best to stick to water, juice, or light syrup.

Redbeard

Tesco can indeed be chunky when the fancy takes them, Charlie. Indeed, the point is made on the label of our Tin!

Redbeard

There are already a few identical Unit-estimates. Counters may wish to check their totals against those of other entrants.

This does not apply to the four separate Unit totals, since the single points awarded for winners of these categories are not divided or shared.

Redbeard

Thanks and good luck, JD.

It's been a pleasure to have you with us in the Counting-team.

Redbeard

Good to see you so quickly off the mark, D-D.

Redbeard

Hallo fellow-Counters and welcome to the final Tinned Food Count of our up-and-down 2020-21 season. Despite experiencing many more downs than ups overall, we are of course safe from relegation, but nonetheless we continue Counting today in hope of persuading the ethereals to help us gain a final thr...

288 in 128.

Go on, Gsy. Good to see the official thread in place following all the uncertainty last night.

Shall I as usual update the leaderboard later on?

COYC!!

Redbeard

Bosscat, the Count Thread hasn't been opened yet...

Redbeard

Count photography is permitted - or indeed preferred - but not essential.

You could always post it later, in any event.

Redbeard

Gsy, it's Admiral, if you don't mind.

But may a fair wind fill your sails nonetheless!
