Caption Competition

[sateeb]

I think there’s still life in it - I haven’t won for a few months but when I do, I find it more and more difficult to get a good photo that will bring out a good response - an amusing photo still brings out a lot of captions!!

I agree 100% with DB. In many instances, the photo tries too hard to be funny, something which is quite unnecessary. There have also been far too many Boris and Royal Family pics (all IMO of course!). The best photos for the best captions can be very simple and ordinary. I still have a good look every week, but I'm simply not always inspired.

Without wanting to blow my own trumpet of course, because as you all know I'm Mr Modesty, I'm convinced that if I won every week, as we all know I really should, the photos would be ideal for an excellent competition. So it appears that the judges are the real problem...

Almost Trumpesque there buddy Turn those sour grapes into Dom Perignon 2012

If I win again I will endeavour to hold back on Boris etc.

Nikita Mazepin clearly not suited to the Peugeot 205 classic banger rally.

It has been suggested that we have a break from the Caption Competition as it is losing its appeal again. Entries are down, and we get the same small group of members entering each week. Before I make the decision, I'd appreciate some feedback please.

I thought I'd better repeat the above on this page as well.

Can't close it down so close to its historic 1000 page landmark, surely. After the 1k, do with it as you please.

Good shout - we'll let it run until the 1,000 page mark, monitoring how it goes until then. If nothing has changed, then we'll have a 6 month break.
