Apparently, there is to be a gigantic eliminator to be held on one of the shallow loughs in mid-August (to ensure the temperatures are in the mid 30's).
After all of the anglers have failed to catch a fish the selection process will then be based on a points system.
The full set of criteria for the allocation of points has not yet been decided, but I can confirm that points will be awarded for the following:
Owns a green car - 2 pts
Red hair - 1 pt
Red bushy mutton chops - 5 pts
Can drink a pint of Guinness through a straw in under 20 seconds - 10 pts
Has experience on International Venue - minus 10 pts
Can carry 14 pints from the bar to the meeting room without spillage - 10 pts
The beauty of this system is that it is far simpler than the current system, which has been explained to me at least 3 times and I still can't remember how it works.
In fact, this could be a good game...
Can anyone else suggest other criteria that could be used for allocation of points?
