Not nostalgia I know but you guys are always fun, so by way of light relief, I'm offering the fabulous prize of a COCONUT for the best caption to this photo.


Posted Image


Closing date will be at 11.59pm on 7th July and in order give the competition some worldwide credibility and respect, I will ask Cheryl Cole (as long as her interpreter is with her) to be the sole judge.

I'll lead with the obvious pathetic one (not eligible of course):-

"if you're 'aving the wheels, I'm 'aving the battery"..

Get going and Good Luck!!..

The lightweight collapsable ramp is ideal for allowing the taller driver access to the Thornton's Continental GT.

I'm also wondering about the quality of the coconut and how it will be delivered...

Notwithstanding that, my entry is:

"I'm sorry sir, we have a new man on that beat. He was told to clamp a Crossfire, I thought it was strange when he called up and said there were no Crossfire badges on it."

Oh, alright then. Special concession, only in the case where the Greedy Whippersnapper Bauble should win:-

Cheryl will award him the Coconut plus a nodding dog for the back of his Austin A40...

As for delivery, I asked Cheryl's advice on the best way of handling coconuts. - She gave me a demonstration and although I thought I went deaf for a few seconds, I was very pleased with the outcome...

Well everyone has contributed so far for the prize of a coconut but you implied that you expected extra 'Bounty'....

Your caption is very welcome though and definitely sets a new standard!

Dessicated coconuts - perish the thought!

This reminds me of the not so famous bard, Cyril Carden-Shaft's lines........

"Oh sweet youth, time wisely spent immersed in mirth and joyous levity,
With maximum pursuit of ripe and robust mammary,
The life giving bauble is now but a pale and wizened memory!"

I don't know why, but this photo reminds me of the tale about the young bimbo who was watching Tiger Woods getting out of his Rolls, and saw some golf-tees lying on the floor. Puzzled, she asked what they were.
Tiger : "Oh, they're for resting your balls on when you are driving".
Bimbo : "Wow, Rolls think of everything, don't they..." ;)

Dear Bauble,

Please hold your horses. (I am assuming, like all nobility, you have horses...)

Cheryl has asked me to refer you to Page XIIV, Subsection VI, Clause IX of you entry form, (Hungarian language version) Where it clearly states that the closing date for entries is 7th July.

Personally speaking, I would be only too happy to award you the Coconut, but there remains the chance, however infinitesimal, that someone may come up with slightly more brilliant caption. So better wait until then to avoid confrontation, don't you think?

And should Cheryl chose to award you said Coconut, I'm sure the good folk of TNF will be only too pleased to offer you well meaning advice as to what to do with the Coconut and where to store it....

Good Luck Sir!
