Nutty was shocked to find his girlfriend playing the field!

Nice of her to try and get your camel back though...

Judging time....

Some great entries...

Some highly commended runners-up....

Nutloose with:

It reminds me of home Sarge, she's a spitter too
Dunky with:

Backseater's were always a bit suspect
But the winner has to be ShyTorque with:

"She's prettier and a fair bit lighter than the wife, but question is:
Can she wash up?"

Thankyou, thankyou! Caught me a bit off guard as I'm not at home and it's getting more difficult to find original photos - I hope this one is a competition virgin, so to speak:

The problem I find flying cross legged is the rudder is reversed.

I know it's RyanAir, but do we have to sit backwards and carry this bloody bike all the way there?

Well, if Iron Maiden can fly themselves to their gigs, so can DEVO.

Right F/L Ponsonby-Smythe ... Spin Recovery ... patter, patter, patter ... We'll climb to 6000' feet ... patter, patter, patter ... I'll then put her in ... patter, patter, patter ... Remember as we don't have a turn and slip indicator apply opposite rudder to the direction of your eyeballs to recover and push the stick full forward until rotation stops ... Got it ?
