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).

My guess didn’t win? Darn.
Any fatalities amongst the other contestants?

Grats matey, especially the Dip and Thrust (or whatever). And worry not, I’ve voted for another bloke to get evicted saving you from the drama of being the first to leave.

I remember a Big Brother-style eviction vote to boot somebody off the Popjustice messageboard resulted in all Hell breaking loose and the board was never the same again. Good luck.

Do I get a trophy or something for guessing 99?

What is all this Boo and Hiss crap?
Was it a Panto themed Superstars?

Oi, Angry. I believe my convoluted prognostication was also 100, all be it it could have been better phrased. Blame it on having to answer too many “How much longer have I got Doc?”s lately. So where’s my prize you skinflint….
And bloody well done, though seeing that one of your best events was Dips and Squats I do worry about the shoulder….

And you get extra points for realising I am a her – well done you on 4th place. Well impressed, byt my guessing and your scoring!

I was expecting the prize to be an out-of-date lift pass or a second hand (signed) sling or somatz. But No! its going to be a proper prize. *wooooooo’s from the audience*
Well done Mr A, Sam and Dr J.
151…what was i thinking???
z · June 11, 2007 at 8:12 pm
Only 100? Tchk. I feel a little let down.
Farty · June 11, 2007 at 11:16 pm
Drat! I came equal second (in the guessing) with 101. So near, yet so far…
