07/01/2007 - The Results
Thanks to everyone who entered the caption competition. There were
far more entries than last time around so word must be getting out
about the high quality prizes available.
The judging panel has now met and come up with their verdict.
Truth be told they weren't overly impressed with the quality of
the offerings for Picture 1. Judge One stated "The ones for
the first picture are pretty rubbish" and Judge Two was heard
to say "so many entries and so little quality". However,
between them they decided to split the prize between:
Dave French's
"The glaring whiteness of French and Brookers chests was just
too much to bare for Chas." (Did he mean 'bear' we ask ourselves,
or was he being clever?)
and
Simon Carter's
"John's a little teapot, short and stout, etc......"
A special mention should go to Rob whose bizarre entry would never
actually have been received by the judging panel if it hadn't led
to a long exchange of emails that we were copied in to. Maybe the
next picture we choose will be more appropriate for your caption
Chas. The Fonz and Vin Diesel? What were you looking at?
Unfortunately I only received one caption for Picture 2 so unwilling
to let the prize go without a bit of competition I decided to submit
a couple of captions of my own. I am proud to say that the three
entries received the following plaudits from the panel:
Judge One stated "I think all three entries for the second
picture are worthy of a prize." and Judge Two stated "I
think you did quite well for Picture 2 and deserve the prize."
Proud as I am of sharing in the accolades my involvement in the
competition rules me out of sharing the prizes. Therefore, proving
yet again that you've got to be in it to win it, congratulations
to Dave Talbot for his:
"Jonathan floated across the turf like a modern day Jesus,
sent by god to play inside right."
For the record my lauded efforts were:
"Floats like a butterfly, stings like a bee, the Brooker is
coming with blood on his knee."
And
"Having unwittingly purchased what he falsely believed to be
Nike's new "anti-chav" boots Jonathan finally found out
why the sale at "Astronauts R Us" was not the best place
to kit himself out for the new football season."
Happy New Year to everyone. I'm looking forward to some more quality
performances like the Quinine one in the second half of the season.
Cheers Mark

It's been a while since we had a competition, so to celebrate a
quality start to the season I've picked out another couple of pictures
that could inspire some amusing captions. If the entries turn out
to be any good I may just brave the Christmas shopping crowds and
see if I can pick up a few stocking fillers for the best ones I
receive.
Please send your entries to captioncomp@scfalcon.co.uk
by Friday 8th December and make sure that you label your captions
Picture 1 or Picture 2.
