Friday Caption Contest: Hi-Viz Edition
First up, a big “well done” to everyone who entered our last competition. Sadly it was too hard to pick a single winner, so you all have permission to go out for a Jolly Nice Ride this weekend. Take some sandwiches, pack your Thermos, and make sure you’re all back in time for tea, or there’ll be no sticky toffee pudding.
This week’s photo comes via the WestfieldWonderer, and features what passes for “ordinary clothes” on the Somerset Levels:
This week we’ve got a simply spiffing prize for the best caption: A chance to experience all the fun of the Frome Cobble Wobble with ride on a cobble-road simulator near where you live. Just head out your front door and try your local council’s idea of a pothole-free road…
As usual, leave your answers below, and remember that I sometimes pick the winner on the basis of their ability & willingness to buy me drinks the judge’s decision is final.
A Leyland number is a number of the form x to the power y, plus y to the power x, where both x and y are integers greater than 1. Numbers of this form are ideal test cases for general purpose primality proving programs as they have a simple algebraic description but no obvious cyclotomic properties. 145 is a Leyland number, which can be expressed as 3 to the power 4, plus 4 to the power 3.
Sadly, the organisers of this race couldn’t be arsed to pick a single winner, so this competitor will not bother to enter again.
When we said “add a little glitter”, we didn’t mean Garry…
Making a hasty exit from clothes shopping at poundstretcher. Wouldn’t want anyone to see…
This is actually a newswire photo of the time the August riots spread to Somerset. The main subject is getting away on £-stretcher’s finest freshly looted BSO. Unfortunately police have been unable to trace him on account of the fact that, like everyone else in the West Country, he was wearing the latest gentleman’s fashions.
Bored looking child: “Dad, what’s the point of this race if nobody can win?”
Dad in red hoodie: “None that I can see, son; fancy a MacDonald’s?”
