Where's the decision?
The trouble with Buster is that he's busting a gut to win one of these, having been a perennial runner-up. Buster is the caption competiton equivalent of golf's Greg Norman.
However, while mine is not to judge, the delay (if the adjudicator does not reappear) may force a decision based on acclamation. So, in my opinion, there's nothing else for it. NR Fairy has not reappeared within the nominal timeframe. Therefore, I propose the following (this is going to draw the crabs!):

NR Fairy has not reappeared within the nominal timeframe. Therefore, I propose the following (this is going to draw the crabs!):
- as a previous holder of the crown, my decision will be final.
- the current 10 day judgement period exceeds by 3 the normal and accepted time-span for a decision.
- people, who are waiting for a life-changing decision (Buster), wet beds for less than this - which makes it a duty-of-care issue.
- but that is dependent on whether the fairy reappears within 24hrs and delivers judgement- 24hrs grace is considered adequate, given the concomitant stresses that people (Buster) are already suffering.
- if the fairy does not reappear within 24hrs, I will take full cognisance of the intervening, and immediate, feedback from all members belonging to this august thread.
- I will then consider that feedback, and make a decision based on the majority view.
- where there is no clear majority view, I will exercise my discretion.
- this may offend, but the thread has stalled and we need to move on.
- finally, in the interests of democratic process, and if someone has a better idea- file it NOW.

As originator of the thread I claim primacy on this 
Highly commended:
TyroPicard "If you'll just pay attention, 007, I'll explain how to extend the chameleon effect to the boots. "
ACW599 "Yes, Bloggs, very sneaky-beaky. But we're still not letting you into 21 SAS without going through Selection" (had to give that one points for mentioning my alma mater)
But the winner, and awarded title of "Caption Champ, round 6,564" is
Buster Hyman with "Concealing her soldier boyfriend was going well until Tracey's sister Bertha sat down to watch Biggest Loser."

This has all the hallmarks of a Constitutional Crisis!
Do I post a piccy & risk a Coup d'état, or do I bend over & take those disparaging remarks like a man?
I'll have you know that I've won more Caption Comps than Greg Norman's won US Opens! And while I'm at it, since when has it been ok to comment on peoples incontinence???
Coup it is...
(Once again, apologies if done before, to big to look, yada, yada, yada...)

MOD Procurement decided to go one better in predicting what equipment would be needed in the next war. They would instead predict what was needed in the 'next next' war.
Of course, the next war would be with Korea which would include Nukes, thus the war after that would be won with bow's and arrows.
Thus the need to test the future transport needs.

Mr. Putin demonstrates the stunning effectiveness of the new "night vision" goggles by getting dressed while wearing them.
