(Caption Competition 7)

Graball (who is to Judge this one), has asked me to try this and I have agreed :
New Rules for this Competition (trial): each image will be "scored" out of five, so to win the competition, a person needs to have a caption for both images and will be "scored" out of ten for the pair.

You will be branded a threat to society by going over a speed limit where it is safe to do so, and suffer the consequences of your actions in a way criminals do not, more so than someone who is a real threat to our society.

a) Worsening potholes had left the A40 nearly impassable in places

b) Highway engineers managed to save a million dollars on the new Interstate 401 extension, by leaving out the tunnel.

Is it cheating to add captions to the photos themselves?

I think Claire once told me it takes up much more e-space on the internet doobrie storage wotsit to keep quoting others.

I remember she worded it better than that though

As far as I am aware, Mole's pictures are not taking up any more space than mine, because they are merely links to the same pictures, on the same servers.
However I stand to be corrected.
Claire's pictures are hosted on the safespeed site and not a picture hosting site such as Photobucket - who if you remember the last Competition, withdrew my picture for breaking their rules - although I am still in the dark as to which rule!

a) I knew I should have turned left for Aldershot at that last junction!
b) Yes, dispatch, could you send a couple of extra squad cars... and make sure they have got shovels in the boot!

a) Phil wanted to find the services soon - in fact he was shitting himself at this point when he saw that drop!
b) When I got the call saying "there's mud on road" I had no idea how MUCH mud was involved!

a) Some riders went to great lengths to avoid routes with speed cameras on them...
b) Don't worry, it'll soon be cleared... I told the police that there was a doughnut van buried under the debris!

I'm sure you're right

I think it was only when quoting others and not, as you say, when related to a link. (Separate thread perhaps soz)

I love riding down the calcified spine of the 20 million year old Great Doyouthinkhesaurous.



My God! It’s like a Doyouthinkhesaurous walked over the top.

If I can get enough speed up I can make this hill and knock my big fat Mother-in-law off the top who took the mountain railway carriage.



My God! Did my mother-in-law walk over the top?



We're okay with Mother-in-law jokes right? Big fan of the late great Les Dawson me

(Me, Tone, on the bike there).

“Come on ed_m; keep up with me mate!” (Hey, it’s my post and there’s nothing in the rules about fantasizing )


“I told you this is what happens when great British engineers design something great, and then British people try and build it!”.

Closer to true than funny..

a) Everytime I think I have reached the top, there's a little bit more!

b) They're going to send a JCB right away, but there has to be a risk assessment first, and the operator wont start until there is a PortaLoo on site!
