FOOD COUNT v Forest Mon 18th Sept

canalsideClaret · Post by **canalsideClaret** » Tue Sep 12, 2023 2:23 pm

So we've had tins up to now so for a bit of a difference,

We have a 136g bag of skittles. Please give your best guesstimate for each colour

Yellow (lemon)
Purple (blackcurrant)
Red (strawberry)
Green (lime)
Orange (orange)
And a bonus for total skittles

To keep total available points roughly in line with the other counts, 3 points for exact number or 2 points for nearest guess apart from total skittle count which is 4 points for exact number, 2 for nearest guess.

Will be opened and counted 16:00 match day (along with a new toothbrush for after consumption)

Happy guessing UTC

It don't matter cos I'm gonna win this time!!

gawthorpe_view · Post by **gawthorpe_view** » Sun Sep 17, 2023 1:05 pm

Time to 'fess up.
I used to be a regular estimator, but last season I missed the Wigan away count so took that as a hint from the gods to abstain. (5-1 away win).

So hopefully to bring an upturn in our fortunes I say with confidence that the skickulls are as follows;

Yellow (lemon) 9
Purple (blackcurrant) 9
Red (strawberry) 9
Green (lime) 9
Orange (orange) 9
And a bonus for total skittles 45
And 0mls of Joooosay, obviously!

3 points for sure on the morrow!

Cubanforever · Post by **Cubanforever** » Sun Sep 17, 2023 7:36 pm

Brilliant count canalside. This will surely deliver a satisfactory result in the football game this evening.

I will update the scores tomorrow and initiate the count for the United game.

Yesssssssss

I skittled you all! Taste that Rainbow….Burnley will now get at least a point

Thank you for an excellent count!!

Please forgive my excitement, as I slowly slide my way off the rainbow… I’m sat in my car outside Meadow Lane… Waiting for a 6pm onwards car parking space to become available…

Was going to say something about "you do know its at The City Ground don't you"

but have parked at Meadow Lane myself and walked over the bridge

so not that far ...

Have a good one jdr
