Caption Competition ?
Here's an idea.
I don't know if it's been done before, I only joined the camera crew a few months ago, but what about a thread for images that cry out for a caption.

Could be good fun for the Paul Merton types amongst us.

It was #2 on Gizmo 67's thread Here that gave me the idea.


If it proves popular maybe some friendly mod could make it a sticky.

Re: Caption Competition ?
LOL!!

I think it's a great idea Steve N. There are many shots out there that as soon as you see are just begging for a caption.

Maybe after 5 or 10 captions someone else then posts a shot?!

Go on then, feel your boots.....
