Caption Competition


One of my readers spotted our ruggedly handsome local council leader Sandy Beach out and about recently.

Preparing to step up to the microphone to deliver one of his gripping, four hour speeches, our Sandy has clearly received body language training from the John Wayne/Tony B/George W school of 'power standing'.

In my usual spirit of overwhelming generosity, I'm offering a bottle of bubbly from my own cellar (Waitrose) for the reader who, in the opinion of the judges (me) comes up with the best caption by the end of the week. Please limit your contributions to mocking jocularity, tempered with biting sarcasm.

To get you started, I've come up with this:

"And so, without further ado, I declare this Turner Centre... bollocks, wrong speech...

"And so, without further ado, I declare this newly revitalised amusement park... bollocks, bollocks...

"And so, without further ado, I declare this..." etc. etc.

I've decided to ignore the Independent Goverment Inspector and 400 local residents, and ask a load of schoolkids how to do my job instead!

"In light of the failure of the Dartford Park planning applications
I am going to learn from the mistakes made and make sure that all Dreamland applications go through without a hitch"

Hmm, I seem to have struck a chord. Sorry, that's not a caption, just thinking out loud.

Some very good ones so far, keep them coming!

Not interested in your plonk but I'm sure you could use the phrase 'another Beached wail'.

For what is Margate, what has it got?
A Turner Centre? No it has not!
A lovely park for kids to play?
Not on your life, no, never, nay!
The record shows I blew my nose,
And did it my way!
