For the first time ever the members of the press have been allowed inside the top secret Government bunker where information relayed in real time from the front in Afghanistan is collated and set out on the state of the art £50,000,000 3D planning board allowing instant real time strategic solutions and operational planning to be carried out by those in the highest echelons on the Military.......

With the Eurostar trains unable to operate, transport planners were looking at alternative and more historic ways to complete the Channel crossing. But once again it seemed hardly worth it.

You apparently missed the evil grin at the end of my post ..... or is there some insider trading going on?!!

After refusing any more cuts to his armys - Bob still enjoyed playing in the garden after the severe cuts to his leggies!

BRILLIANT!!
Excellent entries so far....some more 'worth it' than others (d'ya see what I did there....Mr ..Haul?) Leaving it for final judging (come on NutLoose...there's more!) until early Christmas Eve. Who's going to be Christmas number 1...of the PPRuNe caption competition. Open to all...including 'TCT' or Sir Jock Strapp......or c'mon Bungling Bob, give us all a larf for the festive season!!

Air Vice-Marshal Sir Hardly-Worthitt DSO DFC & bar (most likely earned at The Rose & Crown) surveys the scene of his latest war game, a re-enactment of the Battle of Walter’s Ash. At the time this photo was taken he was considering sending in his secret weapon code named Shite Hawk in a final push for victory. He regards war gaming as his favourite pastime however some of his close friends feel he is obsessed and must have a nut loose.

Ok I’ll get my coat ……. Merry Christmas fellow Pruners!

Helicopters? What's wrong with horses - they're cheaper and we can get them to you within the next 18 months

See I told you it would work, we forget the damaged bridge on my right, We raise the flood defences along the areas in front of me where I have added them, then we march the school kids across the ford and Workington is back together, that way we can save a fortune and pray the press move onto our next blunder before they see the flaws in our cunning plan..

Thumbs up Utterly...Utterly....Brilliant!!
You know, sometimes it can be a bit depressing reading some of the bitchin', back biting, pompous and arrogant utterances that pass for 'comments' on the PPRuNe pages.......however, once in a while, you lot come good and provide much merriment, tongue in cheek banter, and a hearty dose of excellent old-fashioned humour......BRILLIANT!!

Over 30 responses to 'Bungling Bob' and his toy soldiers......and all entirely worth it! Hope you've all enjoyed the entries as much as I have - but very difficult to judge.

Honorable mentions must go to:

Longhitter's

"We're not going to give them paddles for the battle over Sh*t Creek, are we?"
VitaminGee's
Quote:
Hey, Bob! Have you been dubbed Napoleon coz yer don't know yer a4se from yer Elba?
Roadster280's (simple and very effective)
Quote:
"Where's me 'elicopters?"
However....Top 3 for the Christmas Number 1 spot (cue the 'Pick of the Pops' soundtrack...)

in 3rd position:

Buster Hyman's
Quote:
"The Missus reckons I might be overcompensating for something..."
...at Number 2 (and only very narrowly missing the Top Spot) is
Shlonghaul's most excellent

and thank you for the promotion!!

However......there can only be one winner......with 5 separate entries (including the one with the amended picture showing the results of Bungling Bob's cuts so far) the winner is....

Sir, I salute you, and pass you the baton of providing all with the Christmas 2009 picture.

To all - may You and Yours (wherever you may find yourselves) enjoy a Safe and Very Merry Christmas and a fruitful New Year! Take Care, H-W.
