Very few knew that Andy Capp was a qualified pilot.

I thought that the Andy Capp statue was in Hartlepool and not Sunderland!

I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

The plan to use Staines reservoir instead of a 3rd runaway was implemented before Terminal 6 was ready.

They had indeed, and much to MPN11's relief, the Crude Birth Rate was still sitting at 0 per 1,000.

Of course, how that would change as night fell was anyone's guess.

Yes, yes, nice job of reverse parking, but you could at least have come all the way in.

STOP!

The international jury are presently deciding the winner of the competition, and we expect the results in the next half hour.

If you enter now, your entry will not be considered but you may still be charged.

Judging is complete, and has been verified (but not swayed) by Jim's Sister-in-Law. The International Judging Panel congratulates everyone on the high quality of their entries.

Special Mention:
Wander00: "Well, someone must have had the ignition key when we left."
Danny42C: "Tha's not gettin' me into that thing - look at t'big hole in't side!"
Best Accent /Best Use of Colour:
Burnt Fishtrousers: "Oh this picture love that teksme back..That's us when we flew Yorkshire Air on't day trip 't Fraaance. Pilot (hes the one on 't left) decided 't stop mid channel fer't pi$$ and let uz off fer a bit whilst ee went. weaad a game of cricket n' all 'til tide kem in"
Runners-Up:
Buster Hyman: "Why do I feel like I'm about to be in an episode of Air Crash Investigation?"
Wensleydale: "Denying that he will take Britain back to the 1930s, Jeremy Corbyn unveils his battle bus for the 2020 General Election."
AND THE WINNER
SASless: "MI-6 Agents train for European Ops post Brexit."
SASless, well done, and you have control.

"Speak up, young man."
"Sah, I was building my model tank in the block last night, and I fell onto Smith's boot and spilt the superglue. It was pretty uncomfortable, sleeping with his boot, but the march here this morning was downright painful. Sah!"
