Mr Robinson of Ruislip is appealing against Olympic officials' decision to exclude his novel "Gyro-Bike" from the BMX cycling event. "Surely they must see that the fact that it never falls over is a massive advantage from the Health & Safety point of view," he said.

The Sky road cycling team has denied any wrong doing following allegations that a mysterious package had been delivered on the day before the Tour de France.

Righty-ho!

As ever, a fine selection of witty quips - and most of them surprisingly clean, I have to say!

Well done, ShyTorque, take a bow(l) - you have control and indeed possession of the Coffman Starter Trophy

Many thanks, most unexpected!
I'm having major problems uploading any photos just now - photobucket seems to be on a major go-slow and this website says my text is over 39,000 characters - too long!
I'll try again later.

I'm glad it's a 120mm gun, because 100mm lower and my eyes would be watering.

Being able to see the picture would be nice (not a caption by the way).

Sorry chaps - it seems like Photobucket has a problem. It was extremely slow to load the photo last night and I can't access the website at all today because it times out. It's not just this forum; another one I visit has reports of the same problems.

I've been using imgur.com, no need to register and seems to work fine (just remember to copy the URL for the photo before leaving the upload page!)

Shytorque ... Photobucket has been a PITA for ages, making it almost impossible to copy images to websites.

Still no image here (Mac/Safari)

Use Flickr, admittedly you have to sign up to a Yahoo email address, but that's all I use it for, it is simple to upload and the picture links you back to a larger version. I have stopped using my Photobucket account and will close it soon.
Here is an example of one of my recent photographs I took that if you click on it, it brings up a larger image, I can chose the size of the image I post in threads, as shown below, a simple click on it, it takes you to Flickr and a larger image, even larger versions are also available, stuff I found impossible on Photobucket.





NOT A CAPTION ENTRY

With the use of stealth technology becoming ever more prevalent in military aviation, it was only a matter of time before the first use of low observable technology in a caption competition...
