Okay chaps & chapettes, I may not be able to judge this over the next few days so I may make my selection now if all are agreeable.

Firstly, I must apologise for not being "local" enough to know how topical the ciggies references & political scandals are and as such, I am probably missing out on some good captions but, it's a global industry isn't it!

Anyway...runner up & nominated replacement if the winner slackens off is....

ix_touring with...
Bloke pointing: "Err no that's not a tie down point!"
But my personal favourite, based on the timeless "laugh out loud" principle is....

arandcee....

'Yes sir, I get the mechanics of the whole thing, I just don't see the porpoise.'
Over to you!

The precise moment when corporal Higgins's produced a 400g hamster rather than the 400kg one specified in the blueprints.
