100th post giveaway.... And the winner is....

[AIDM]

GAMES HAVE STARTED - ENTRY CLOSED

Evening chaps,

This post will be my 100th since joining your gang. :D In my lurking days one of the things that put me off crossing the threshold and joining up was a slight fear that I would actually have nothing to say, but in my relatively short time here I feel that I actually been able to participate in a reasonably constructive way, I hope you guys agree. My advice to any lurkers - we know you're out there :lol: is hold your nose, take the plunge and dive on in, the waters warmer here than you may think.

Anyway, to cut to the chase, in gratitude for your warm welcome and without agenda, I would like to offer up this as new, unmarked Sinn 50th anniversary catalogue 1961-2011. In case you haven't seen one of these before, it a hard back quality book of 143 colour pages, detailing all (at the time) current Sinn models, articles on brand ambassadors and technical essays. A really interesting read and very useful reference guide.

**Edit: I was thinking about this post and realised that I am giving away a book that came free and can probably still be obtained free with a simple email , not much of a giveaway :roll: so as I'm and England fan, not a Scot ( :evil: :wink: :lol: ) I have decided to add this strap to the mix, 22mm unworn buffalo grain, genuine leather, 115mm/75mm.**

I will send the book and strap FOC to whomever can predict what the TOTAL POINTS SCORED will be in ALL games played in this weekends opening Six Nations matches - to be ultra clear I'm looking for your guess of all points, scored by all teams, added up to give one total sum.

Sat 1430, France v Italy
Sat 1700, Scotland v England
Sun 1500, Ireland v Wales

Please post your guess as a reply in this thread, try (no pun intended) to avoid duplicates, I only have one book, so possible total scores are available on a first come first served basis, (ie if someone posts the same guess as you first, they get the book!) Anyone bad mouthing Englands chances (however well deserved) will be barred! :twisted: :twisted:

I will announce the winner sometime after the last game on Sunday and send the book out Monday. :albino:

While you're listening, if anyone has a Sinn U1 and has not got the booklet (for example, the chap I sold mine too! ) I have a spare one, again in excellent condition. If you would like this, can I suggest that you make a donation to HTH for a value of your choice and drop me a PM with your address and I'll send it out to you, again FOC.

Any questions, please feel free to ask, Good luck...... Guess away :bounce:

Rob

**Edit: just realised a small flaw... if no one guesses correctly the book will go to the nearest guess, if two people are the same amount away from the correct number, I'll think of a tie break question :lol: **
