Pic 1 - After spending so much of their youth hunched up infront of a computer, the damage done to their spines was beginning to show.

Or

The latest budget cuts come into effect and are beginning to become more and more apparant.

Pic 2 - I can't think of one

No 1:

"Blimey, Sarge, why don't we just buy some mousetraps?"

No 2:

"Herbert dear, I don't mind wearing the green cardy if it turns you on. But I really do draw the line at your flying-boot fetish".

Picture 1: homesweethomefront.co.uk administrators respond to reports of excessive hits on two particular image files.

Picture 2: Onan the Clumsy perfects his disguise for his mission to infiltrate the homesweethomefront.co.uk server room in order to reset their bandwidth-this-month counter.

(very good adr, but received after the deadline )

Drum roll please...........


Incipient Sinner Pots an easy soft ball with the wry “Everyone liked the new uniforms, the Army were used to their green and the Navy just loved their fetching pink”


Mentions in dispatches are announced for:

Biker Mark for "Economic recession really begins to bite in Narnia"

VitaminGee for "Keep waxing chaps, the Goons'll never rumble us in this clobber."

Circuit Basher for “Wilson, you and Jones go and find out what that noise was. Don't tell them your names, though!”




Some sort of a gong for Darth Nigel for
#1: Donald Rumsfeld angrily denied allegations that the US was having trouble meeting manpower and equipment goals in Iraq.

#2: "You've been messing around with that one-legged bint again, haven't you?"


A gong with a bit of ribbon for Talking Radalt for the rather amusing:
Pic 1: Although greatly admired around the world, some felt BBMF were taking things too far with their authentic period CCS.

Pic 2: With the weekend fast approaching, Lt Bloggs wondered where "Loretta" should wear "her" new RN logo badge.


And for successfully tying together the two pix with reasonably amusing lines, thereby setting the requirements for all upcoming caption competitions:

A gong with a bit of ribbon in a walnut box presented personally at Buck House for Speedpig
First pic:
Bert "Quick lads, I need to find my wardrobe"

Second pic
..... too late...
Doris was wondering what on earth Bert would be doing with these particular items in his wardrobe.

And seeing as he had to “go away for a few days” ahem…it’s over to Conan The Librarian

Evening all,

By Golly, Piggy will be pleased. He is in Florida on "holiday". Truth is that getting his haemorrhoids fixed. but this will make his happiness complete.

Caught me completely off track though, so give me an hour or so to find something to get your teeth into.

Back by 2000Z or thereabouts.


Conan.

And here is a picture that I feel may give rise to some wheely good suggestions. According to Speedpig, the winner gets a bunch of grapes, so start competing!

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y19...es/altgear.jpg

PS if this one has been done in the past milleniium, please advise and I shall have another pic in a flash.

Marvellous.... same routine as normal and it is hsowing a hyperlink rather than the picture. Looking at prob now, but any cybergeeks out there, go to alert 5

Second attempt

And after a false start, all competitors are called back to the starting grid, whilst Conan gets his act together....

Could anybody be kind enough to pick up the baton?

Can email pic if link cannot be picked up

Gracias.

The Board of Enquiry later determined that the boss's love of snap inspections had crossed the line into clinical obsession.

Even Michael thought his latest fly drive package might be a bit ambitious

In as much as the car was stationary, the new Iranian punishment for parking on a double yellow line was messy, though in some ways appropriate.
