The judging panel are on very long finals, ETA 1200Z Jim says there's just time to cross the runway with final entries before they land....

Before we announce the winners, we must say that the panel much appreciated Danny 42C's closing entry, and jauntily whistled "♫.......Tie me kangaroo down sport !........♫" throughout the judging process.

The overall standard of entries was very high, and choosing winners was a most difficult process. However...

In third place is Pontius Navigator's:
"Just wait till the **** hits the fan."

In second place is Tashengurt's:
"It may be ugly but my goodness it's pointless."

But the winner, for sheer engineering excellence (and not because I live in Wiltshire) is Buster Hyman's:
"If I ever meet that Dyson bloke, I think I'll nut him!"

The Coffman Starter trophy is in the post, BH, and you have control...

If I may quote Josephine's aria from "HMS Pinafore:"


'Refrain, audacious tar, your suit from pressing'.

The Regiment had entered the Iron Man Challenge without really understanding the concept.
