Friday Caption Contest: Parliamentary Debate Edition
First up, a heart-felt “jolly well done” to all of you who entered our last contest. It was hard to judge the winner, but in the end our panel of unbiased judges decided that Scott’s entry (”Cyclists Dismount”) just about summed up the climate nicely. We’ll be sending Scott his prize of some mis-matched kitsch tat just as soon as we manage to get the kittens stapled to the mugs.
This week saw cyclists take to the streets and ride on Parliament prior to Thursday’s back bench debate as a result of The Times’ Cycle Safe campaign. As a back bench debate, it was held in Westminster Hall rather than the main Commons Chamber. With 77 MPs packed in, the main Commons Chamber was left rather bare.
So your challenge this week is to add a caption to this photo:
The question is, what are those MPs in on the green benches talking about , while their colleagues are debating cycling?
This week we have a fabulous prize for one lucky winner - an evening’s drinking with the Eric Joyce, MP for Falkirk.
Good luck!
“Why aren’t you at the Cycling debate then?”
“My driver’s off sick”
So we’re agreed then?
Yes, we have authorised our forces to deploy nuclear weapons.
“So all agree on the proposed increase in parking charges.”
“Bugger, I havn’t paid and displayed.”
“What are you looking for?”
“That ‘IOU’ note we’ve been hiding. Must be somewhere.”
Dont worry, I put laxatives in the cycling debate coffee!
My a*** has prolapsed! I knew I should have come straight in.
“Did you see all those bloody cyclists round here last night?”
“Yes, has anybody any idea what they were here for?”
“I thought we had ended the war on the motorist”
“That I why I can get off my fat arse”
Yes, ooh excuse me, saddle sores… arrrgh
Not sure why fist attempt above was clipped short, should have read as below
========
So you say you tried cycling because you thought it’d look good for the cameras and get you a few votes.
Yes, ooh excuse me, saddle sores… arrrgh
* ” first attempt ” oh dear, my keyboard skills!
Adam - we’ll chalk that one down to a Freudian slip. My advice is when you’re in a hole, stop digging.
[...] we start, I’d like to thank everyone who contributed to last week’s caption contest. It was so good to see you all raising the tone of the debate. Sadly, there can be only one winner. [...]
