Re: Caption Competition
A great lot of captions. I very much liked Dave's "Microsoft Windows" angle and Julie's "raining men" remark, but the caption that made me laugh most of all was the first one by Pete:
Well done and over to you, Pete!
(Pete actually had "handgags" but I assume that was a typo!) I love the thought of Anne losing her cool and lobbing handbags at the others from behind a bush!Domestic pressure finally overloaded Anne so she hurled her handbags at her thoughtless cousins!
Well done and over to you, Pete!
