Hi all,

Wouldn't normally start a count mid-game or 2 mins after the other has finished but it's comin' thick and fast (ooh err missus!) these days.

Anyway, back to the matter at hand. Presenting a bag of Morrisons "the best" Radiatori pasta - 500g.



Taking inspiration from Croydon Claret, I'll be accepting points for correct number of pasta pieces (whole-ish ones only) and points for the weight of the bag. Count will close around 2pm on Saturday

Good luck and heres to 3 pts tonight and 3 on Sat!

Tough one

I say
Pasta: 120
Empty bag: 8g

Cheers

Pasta 231
Bag 7g

Hhmmmmm I’m thinking

117 pieces of Radiatori
6g for the empty bag

Would absolutely love to beat Everton…….UTC

Radiatori wow never heard of them ... had to google ... apparently they were modeled on a Bugatti Radiator .
Lots of surface area to get covered in a nice Puttanesca or Arrabiata sauce yum yum yum.

So I will go mad and say 280 Bugatti Rads in the bag.
The bag another 6gms.

Interesting choice

Pasta -- 115
Bag -- 9gms

Thanks for the count Tarkys-ears

145 pasta
5g bag

Thanks tarkys_ears

178 pasta
7g for the bag

Thanks tarkys_ears. 169 pasta, 7g for the bag.

Hmmm
175 pastas
7g bag
UTC.

I sez 141 piezez of pazta in an 8g bag. Thanks for doing the count tarky, an unusual choice which bodes well for the sporting contest against the unsporting book cooking toffees.

128 radiators
and 8grm bag
thx for the count

7g please.

197 bits of pasta
3 grams for the bag

136 pasta
4g bag

Bump.

Last few hours

Pasta pieces: 186
Empty bag: 9g

thanks for doing the count tarkys_ears!

UTC

Bump!

About 1 hour to go

218 pasta bits
4g bag

Right. The count is now closed.

Counting commencing imminently!

Right then.

This was a mammoth count as it turns out there are actually 379! little pasta radiators.



The bag came in at a weighty 6g



Looks like Bosscat (how predictable!) walks away with closest guess of 280 and finishes off with a correct guess of 6g. 10 points for him. (No bonus points for the bag today!)

Also with correct guess of 6g for the bag is Eloise Laws who earns a deserved 5 points.

Thanks to all for playing. UTC! and here's to 3 points today!

Well done (again) Bosscat

Champion elect

Bloody hell did not expect that The Mrs said "280" I thought "don`t be silly" but was told always listen to the wife

Hey ho

Congratulations to Bosscat and Eloise Laws and thanks to tarkys_ears for an interesting count with an unexpected result. Thanks to all the counters and up the Mighty Clarets, come what may.

Well done everyone, much better than our boys did yesterday at Goodison.

Am I correct in thinking there is still one fixture that hasn't got a volunteer to present the count? (I did try looking back through the site but thought it quicker to ask)

I will step up for the Sheff Utd count if no one else fancies it

Bosscat I think the rumour you’re a Supermarket employee could be true

Hi Eloise. I was going to offer to do the Sheff Utd game if no-one had come forward. If you'd like to do it then I am ok with that but I will do it otherwise. (Hope that makes sense)

BigF, I only stepped in as I didn’t want to see 1 game go without a count. Happy to step back for you to do it.
Thanks for coming forward, Good Luck with your offering

That's fine then Eloise. I'll do the count for Sheff Utd.
Claretmisterg could you add my name to the list of counter presenters, please?
