I had a Polish Cockerel. Got him on Valentine's Day so we called him Valentine. He quickly became 'Screech', not only because of his horrific crow, but because the actor who played Screech in Saved By The Bell stabbed some people and he was a dickhead. RIP Screech RIP Dustin Diamond
So. I actually bothered to check the page sweepstake guesses. Poor uptake, and it’s closed now, but there you go @1MoreAgain - 1272 @DMD - 1282 (impressively specific 12th post) @SW3 Chelsea Tiger - 1220 @Plum - 1563 Me - 1501 So depending how you decide to measure it (and as it’s my sweepstake I’m making the rules up now, but they’re simple…closest guess to the page that a photo of Acun holding a City on the pitch is posted wins) a few are already out as it’s the 1406th page. So 1More…out already - 134 pages out DMD…out already - 124 pages out SW3…out already - 186 pages out Den…still in. Currently 95 pages to go to guess Plum…still in. Currently 157 pages to go to guess So as far as can tell if the specifically referenced photo is posted before the first half of page 1532 I win. If it’s posted after the first half of page 1532 Plum wins (we’ll worry about how half a page is measured if required and I’m happy for @DMD adjudicate) I suggest if Acun does buy the club and posts get above page 1532 then Plum wins even if the photo doesn’t get posted as it might some time in the future in which case he’d still be closest. EDIT - If it gets to past Plum’s guess and it still not sold then that will be 343 posts past the earliest guess of SW3, therefore if it goes 343 past Plums then the sweepstake result will be that we are effectively never being sold and there will be joint winners of @Kempton & @balkan tiger However that actually takes it to 1906 so for obvious reasons, as long as @Plum is ok, then the ruling will be if we’re not sold by the 1904th page then for the purposes of the sweepstake it’s all over, we’re never getting sold and Kemps and Balkan win (and we all lose, including them) …I think (?) COME ON ACUN…I was hoping it would drag out, but you can crack on now I’m in pole position!
The booby prize is a ticket to Biggest Derby In The Universe And Everywhere Else followed by a night out on Hessle Rerd or Holdetness Rerd.
