In the tin there were.......

Broad Beans.......129

Water...............100ml

The winner of the bean count is bodge with the nearest estimate of 128 (so close)

The nearest water estimation was steve1956 who was bob on with 100ml.

So 5 points to bodge and 3 points plus a bonus point to steve1956.

Well done everybody and congratulations to the winners!

Redbeard if you could update the leader board please when you get chance.

The ethereals move in mysterious ways! I think they've just been down to the Emirates on their way to Old Trafford.

Good try, Steve, but it's not cheating.
Your suspicion is misplaced and somewhat unfair given my illustrious Counting career.
Don't worry: I'm well within the Rules. 8-)
I should think so given you wrote most of 'em.

I think someone should phone Tesco's bean canning factory & let them know the bean counter needs recalibrating !

I really think the person who is spending time counting and draining and organizing the competition should be rewarded at least 5 points because hes obviously sacrificed his chance of picking up points by doing this....I done two counts and sacrificed my chances.thank you 😊

Maybe we should have a tinned food count super league and breakaway from Reds dominance of tinned food counts 😊
It's the only way we will get our own way 😂

Right I’m done with this. Stagnant bean counts are draining our luck. Next week, a jar of pickled pinons!

So an extra 10 points would put where exactly on the leaderboard?

Steve, et al.

I don't like to boast, but your devotion to the cause is as nothing when compared with my own efforts over many years, about which you seem to know nothing. Many older Counters will no doubt recall my Award For Services To World Tinned Food Counting, made back in 2012 or thereabouts, when my selfless efforts over a great many Officiations was recognised and rewarded. Not once did I consider myself deserving of Counting points!

You meanwhile have Officiated twice, but demand points to your name! :lol: I suggest rather that a month's ban would be more appropriate.

I do not 'dominate' Counts, but simply add the voice of experience where and when it seems necessary, based upon my many years' detailed study of mainstream Counting procedure.


Gawthorpe, you should know better and I'm shocked at your comment. :shock: I do not make up the Ancient Rules, but simply ensure that we stick to them, for the good of us all.


Anyway, I am quite prepared to resign from the Counting Team if so desired by a majority of members. Shall we take a vote? I have been offered the post of Food Count Overseer at Fenerbahce, my old club. Maybe it's time to accept it. :(

I'm only joking Red it's a good bit of fun....I love the look on my wife's face when I look up from the computer and say " What tins have we got in the cupboard love"
She thinks we are all as mad as a box of frogs.....shes not wrong.
