BOOOGER!
Just had a proper look at photos and the weight on the tube looks more like 225g not the 115g I went with. So around 25-30 pastilles out.
IF ? You get a second chance for being stupid, add 6 to each colour and 30 to my total.

If not. MY FAULT for not paying attention, will put it down to BSH Syndrome

So much sugar yet so little insulin in the world

Correct counts from
Black - Longsider = 5pts
Orange - tarkys-ears = 5pts
Grey - Zooniverser = 5pts
Total - Zooniverser = 5pts

No-one had exact counts for Lemon or Claret. If it is
acceptable then closest get 2 pts each?
If so
Lemon - Eloise Laws and tarkys-ears get 2 pts each
Claret - tally gets 2 pts

I hope that is fair. I'll let Claretmisterg update the table when he has time.

[Bosscat]

Were'nt Longsider and jdrobbo both 1 away on Claret count with 11 BigF

[BigF]

Absolutely Bosscat. My humble apologies to Longsider and jdrobbo. I totally missed their counts, (unless I absent mindedly ate one of those pastilles).

Could Claretmisterg add 2 pts more to those repsective totals? Thank you

Congratulations to all our points scorers.

10 points puts Zooniverser up to 143 points still in 2nd but now just 6 points behind Dawlishclaret who remains in 1st place on 149 points.
5 points puts Longsider on 130 points still in 3rd place but now 9 points clear of jdrobbo in 4th.
2 points puts Eloise Laws on 103 points still in 6th place.
7 points catapults tarkys_ears from 14th place up to 19th place now on 64 points.
tally scores 2 points to move onto 68 points but drops from 10th to 11th due to being overtaken by tarkys_ears.
3 points for counting puts BigF up to 118 points still in 5th place.

The season is only half way through and we already have 7 counters on 100 points or more. It’s already an all time record and amazingly 5 counters have already surpassed Bosscat’s all time record score of 110 points from last season. Ironically most of those points have come from counts hosted by Bosscat.

Thanks again to BigF for an excellent count bringing back childhood memories of sugar covered confectionery. Thanks to all the counters who have taken part. Surely the mighty clarets will be inspired to emerge victorious from the footballing contest to follow.

Up the Mighty Clarets, come what may.

[Claretmisterg]

Apologies. The above should have read

7 points catapults tarkys_ears from 14th place up to 10th place now on 64 points.

I must remember to check long posts before submitting, instead of after. UTC

[Eloise Laws]

Excellent count BigF. Thanks for updating the scores Claretmisterg, i was just thinking the same about the number of high scores!
Will be posting the New Years Day count later.
