October 2012

August 2012

The winner chose to remain anonymous, but here is their unique and obscure entry:

“In an unexpected gesture of good will, the Wicked Witch of the West had been to Halfords to treat the more older monkeys in her army”

Of course, there were puns aplenty:

“the Soar de France”; “Tour de Air France”; The “Unflappable Team GB!”

“Allegations of ‘kit fixing’ by Olympic cyclists take a sinister turn with the arrival of the Korean team” (Anne Pargeter).

July 2012

The winner is capcomp (quite possibly not their real name!) with this fantastic change of context:

Sadly, neither Sharon nor Charlene passed the “Drink Diving” test.

And yes, quite a few noticed the size difference!:

“We’ve found out what those stabbing pains were you were getting whilst swimming – harpoons” (Rob Falconer)

The winner is Antony Ward with:

“Buy quick, prices will soon be slashed”

This caption is ruuuude… but funny:

“Crikey, look at the blue veins on that one” (Gary Tvg)

And it wouldn’t be a caption competition without the shameless punning:

“I can’t relive it’s not butter” (Rob Falconer)

“The boys Caerphilly lined up as instructed” (xxkennysgirlxx)

“Pidl” (Antony Ward again… he’s on fire!)

May 2012

The winner is Minnie Whittaker with:

“The gay pride sailing regatta still attracted KKK protests!”

In fact, there were a host of clever discrimination-based captions:

“The Whites and Coloureds are separated by A-part-tide” & “It’s got nothing to do with Race Discrimination” (Tony Edwards)

…some fantastic punning:

“When the coloured sails appeared they realised it wasn`t gonna be plain sailing all the way” (George)

“Is this a nightmare …..or just a dyedream?” (Chris Andrews)

And some marvelous twists of context:

“Judging by the Google map markers, there must be an awful lot of restaurants in the Serpentine” (Falconer99)
