CAPTION COMPETITION FOR JUNE
This month, to demonstrate my political fairness, I have a picture of Sir Ming….
The prize is, as ever, a bottle of Rioja… and a voucher from Wildy’s
And… just to start you off… here is my offering:
“Look… no support…”
OK… OK… I am in a bar using their Wi-fi … “Summertime…. and the drinking is easy….”
Do your worst / best…. and remember the Olympic tradition… It is better to win than to take part.
Result at the beginning of July….
As always… I am the umpire… and I don’t have any assistance from hawkeye or a third or even fourth umpire…. I like democracy… but.. my caption competitions are a matter of ‘caprice’…
Mind you… if I was really independent – politically…. I would have asked you to try your hand at writing a caption for the pic of Webcameron who is, apparently… the ‘true heir to Blair’…. I am sure the good people of Tonbridge and the South East of England were pleased to hear George Osborne (Shadow Chancellor) say that!
By the way… I am thinking of:
Becoming an MP, without bothering with an election.. after all… what is good for the next PM, is good for the gander.

Yes… “Charon QC, MP”…. sounds good to me. I don’t mind if I don’t become PM….I’ll just hang out on the back benches, smoking cigarettes at the Commons – which, I am told, will be exempt from the new “No Smoking” regulations due on 1st July…. and I certainly won’t be daft enough to get my travel card taken away from me, unlike three MPs… who, it is alleged, have had their travel cards taken away from them [Only we don't know who they are because Freedom of Information legislation can only go so far.]
Observant readers will note that I have put the pic of WebCameron on the ‘right’.
Charon QC as an MP. Sounds good. I’ll vote for you… oh wait, I don’t have to!
It’s fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A…
“I went fishing, and I caught a Scottish salmon and it was thiiiiiiis big!”
The Police have advised the public to be on the lookout for a very fast stetson thief
I say, I don’t suppose any of you could help me get the coat hanger out of the back of my jacket?
That’ll teach me to leave my jacket out to dry on the line when it’s freezing
When proportional representation is introduced, we’ll be this big……
“…yes, and apparently Gordon Brown thought that Tony Blair’s erection was *this* big!”
I’d prefer to write a caption about the David Cameron picture if you don’t mind!
“Oh shit – I could have sworn I’d attached that baby buggy thingy to the back of my bike…”

You are going to have to limit your ambitions. Smoking is OK in Parliament but not in 10 Downing Street apparently.
“All together now …:
‘Always look on the bright side of life …’ “
I thought you said I had been elected Pope!
Don’t know if I’m allowed a second crack at the whip but here goes:
“You’ll never guess what…Tony was saying in Fife there’s a guy with a fist this size!”
To silence them I wear a kilt and lift it up like this at the front…
