And, they're 1 of your 5 a day... Could be an omen! I'm going for Villa 1 Clarets 5

You have until 17.00 hours tomorrow, Thursday 17 December to submit your estimations for the number of beans and amount of jus.

Tinned Food Count rules apply

Phew. Glad you could make it, Ralphie.

Please bear in mind however that the official maximum Estimate period is 24 hours, and so even with the additional hour for Result/Winners we should not begin before 5pm.

Perhaps you are well aware of this, but I'm just making sure.

UTC!!

Thanks Admiral. A bit of "Nelson" there for your beans. What would the cricketers make of that ?

Is that the average of the ten tins you have bought ?

I have changed your estimate Huw. Good luck

And, just in case anyone suspects any bias, good luck to everyone

What’s a butter bean. Is it a fava bean? I feel that my liege needs to standardize tinning across the world.

So complete guess ...89 beans of butter. 149mls of viscosity aka joooooooooooooose

Apologies Charlie. They're not my "fave" beans but I do like 'em

As for standardising tinning. As per International TFC regulations (Regulation 3.4.3 a-c), and I quote:

"A tin may be used IF, and only IF, it can be purchased from a UK Supermarket, Corner Shop, or EU Store"

The Regulations make no reference to any tin obtained by means of burglary, robbery, or shoplifting.

I do believe that Special Rules will be introduced following Brexit (Deal or No Deal)

89 beans already chosen. 149mls already chosen too. You may wish to alter your estimates

Thanks for that Charlie.

Obviously, your comments refer to someone in your locale and isn't aimed at me, Spot, The Admiral, or the Tinned Food Count (International) Committee.

So that drainage can occur, just one hour before we empty the contents into the magic bowl.

Plenty of time to get your entries in.

Come on, your team needs YOU !
