I am away for yet another weekend. Honestly, this makes me sound like such a jet-setter, but I am only going to Bournemouth, so you need not be too jealous.
It is the Annual Superstars Challenge, and I will be competing despite my recent injury crisis – just like David Beckham before the World Cup with his broken foot and that. As I will not be checking comments today, I have decided to run a little competition. Over the course of the ten events in which I compete this weekend, I will be accumulating points. The person getting closest to my actual final score will win a special prize.
Of course, I have not decided what that prize will be, except to say that it will be special, and I will send it to you.
To help you with your guesses, there are ten events, and fourteen competitors. 1st place in each event receives 14 points, second place 13 points, right down to last place who gets 1 point. Each competitor will be allowed to play a joker in one event, during which their points score, for that event only, will be doubled.
The events are :
Golf
Texas Hold ‘em Poker
Necking of a pint
Dips and squats
Bleep Test
Ten pin bowling
Shot put
Pool
Football
Rugby Conversions
I have not decided in which event I will play my joker, but if I were to finish 7th in every event I would score 88 points. That should give you a guide for scoring. In the case of a tie, I will award the prize to whomever I think is the fittest.
Leave your guesses below, and the winner will be notified by email on Sunday night, probably.

131 giving you third place overall I reckon
123. Isn’t it good that we think you’ll do so much better than averaging seventh place?
Except Jan of course.

154 – First in every event. Which should get me some kind of a prize too.
127. Good luck!

And I’m pretty good looking, too. (In case you need to take that into account, you know.)

Go, Angry, go!
Errrrr…. 151
Just look after that shoulder will you, they’re real bastards to have to try to get back in a second time, and each further dislocation makes the next one that much more likely. With that in mind you’ll do brilliantly to top 100, but hey, to us your fans you’ll always be a winner.
*sometimes I even nauseate myself– but I mean it about the shoulder!*
143. Just because.
Now go get ‘em tiger!

I was going to say 11 but that’s already taken so I have chosedn a comedy number instead. It had better be a good prize.
It’s very humid today so that might hinder some events…

Hmmm it doesn’t bode well that Mr Angry isn’t around to crow does it?
Let’s hope they didn’t have to cart him off via helicopter or we’ll all expect a recount!
80 (at random, I can’t work it out) or has the betting shop closed ?
