Easyjets offer of 'Cross the pond for under £10' really was too good to be true!

Just because Stelios walked across the water is no reason for us to copy.

Yes, this used to be a bone dry salt bed but the results of the melting polar ice caps give you a good idea of how long this particular caption competition has been going on.





Was that subtle enough in the hinting department?

Ahh Hostie my love, would you please be good enough to page the passengers and ask if we have a gay Dutchwoman amongst them, and if you get a response can you please ask them to pop up to the Cockpit, the Capt'n has just informed me we are in need one to go stick her finger in the dike."



None PC moment and i apologise to Dutch flood control measures unreservedly.

Good morning, this is Captain Moses, I'd like to welcome you on-board flight ARK001 to Mount Ararat. Due to our late departure from the gate, we're having a bit of trouble taxying to the runway. We may have to hold in this position for quite a while. You might want to pay extra attention to the cabin staff as they demonstrate the life-jackets this morning.

And Moses was just sharpening his axe and Pontius was still a Navigator.

Danny42C with:
Abandon Ship !

The Stelios 2nd runner up award which is in recognition of getting the best seat on the plane only to find a fat hippopotamus who smells like a post match basketballers' locker room has got the second best seat next to you goes to:

Danny42C with:
We couldn't get you to the Mediterranean - will this do ?

The Stelios winning award which is in recognition of discovering that those sandwiches in the catering trolly cost almost as much as your airfare and are way beyond your financial means goes to:

...touberleki roll....

Danny42C with:
Shall we call Mayday ? Might get HRH with the chopper if we're lucky

Thank you contestants, well played
