Hot on the heels of the last food count it seems that foreign based foods is the way forward.

Therefore I present to you one excellent 400g tin of Tropical Sun Caribbean peas and beans.

In keeping with the last game there will be 5 opportunities to score with 10 points for each exact answer and 5 for the nearest miss.

1) Number of red kidney beans
2) Number of blackeye beans
3) Number of gungo (Gung ho?) peas
4) Amount of water
5) Special bonus prize - the price

Proportion of each bean/pea is unknown, perhaps the picture is a clue?

The tin was bought in a London convenience store run by a bunch of fine Sri Lankan fellows. Whether that's a clue to the price at all, who can say

Forgot to add - the Calypso band is booked for 17:00 on 05/12 so no entries after that

5 hours to go.

Still time for more bean counting

Just one hour until the beans hit the fan

18 entries so far

The calypso band have arrived and need to be fed, so the beans have been opened and no further entries will be accepted

The only exception is if what_no_pies logs on and can submit his estimate of the price. Preferably before I have posted the results

In the meantime please enjoy this musical interlude

The results are in

Red Kidney Beans: 39
Black eyed beans: 189
Gungo peas: 97
What can only be described as "gloop": 145ml
Price: 89p

Great count Croydon Claret ... and well done all other scoring counters.

Heres to a good night down in the depths of The West Midlands (historically Staffordshire)

An excellent count Croydon Claret with lots of point scoring which has seen significant movement on the points table including a new leader in Bosscat whose 10 points puts him in 1st position on 49 points. Yours truly scores another 5 points putting me on 46 points but staying in second place, now behind Bosscat, with addisclaret dropping from 1st to 3rd.

5 points puts green_parrot on 36 points in total but remaining in 4th place still 12 points to make up on the top three. Charlieinnewmexico scores 10 points to storm up the table from 9th to joint 5th on 25 points where he is joined by Croydon Claret whose 3 points for counting move him up from 6th place.

Also scoring a big 10 points sees Canalside Claret leap from 14th to 8th now on 19 points, what_no_pies jump from 15th to 9th now on 18 points and bfcjg soar from 17th into joint 11th now on 15 points.

Despite all the points scored by the food counters there were none delivered by the football team. We looked very bright in the first half and Jay Rod was unlucky not to put us in front again but we made an error and let them in. Once Koleosho went off it began to look like game over. I hope he’s fit for Saturday in what will be another challenging game. Hopefully the counting gods will smile on us on the South Coast. Up the Mighty Clarets Forever.

Apologies For the incorrect post above. Yours truly actually drops from second to 3rd with addisclaret dropping from 1st to 2nd. Tried to edit it but ran out of time.

have shot into the lead Wow was 3rd ...

Would swap it for some PL points though
