I am Back!
In one piece, sort of. After the weekends exertions I managed to fall asleep on Bournemouth beach yesterday afternoon, and after forgetting to apply suncream I now look like Rodney Trotter in the sunbed episode.
The weekend was, as always, great fun. Unfortunately, the addition of games of luck (such as poker, in which I finished last), ruined my chances of a podium finish. Despite my injury woes, I finished fourth, eleven points behind the winner, and three points from a trophy in third.
Which brings us nicely to the “How Many Points Will Angry Score?” competition.
I would to say thank you to all of you who had guesses at the high end, you all have excellent estimation skills, and barring a near crippling injury, you might well have been a winner. Boo, and indeed Hiss, to all of you with guesses in the sub 80 area. I am a bit injured, but I am still mostly excellent, obviously. And who would have guessed that Venn That Tune’s Salvadore Vincent would have to go through the complex mathematics to work out a theoretical maximum score for the competition?
I can not remember my exact placing in all events but highlights include, Rugby Conversions (1st), Dips and squats (joint 1st), Pool (3rd), Shot Putt (4th) and football (5th).
When I looked at the scores you had all guessed this morning, I will admit to being both impressed and slightly scared by the level of omniscience displayed by the winner. Not only did they get the exact correct score, but they submitted their guess just SEVEN minutes after the competition began! I scored precisely 100 points, so the winner is….Sam Cullum! Of course, in true Mr Angry style, I complete forgot to buy a prize whilst I was away, but I will correct this faux pas this week and send Sam her (I am assuming ‘her’) prize.
There may be a few stories from the weekend, I have not decided yet. But in the meantime you can go over to Big Blogger and read my party suggestion (which didn’t win, boo!) and then vote for your least favourite housemate. I am in real danger of being the first person out, which will be embarrassing. The person with the most votes will be evicted, so DO NOT vote for me (as at least two people have done so far by mistake).
