Congratulations to last the winner of last week’s caption contest - Tom correctly identified “Heinrich demonstrates how to pee on the move through his new sturmtek urine wicking tights“. Actually, that reminds me of a story I once heard . . . Anyway, we’ll be sending Tom a pair of these excellent and stylish cycling...

Last week’s contest inspired some fierce competition - I guess the promise of a real prize rather than the usual virtual prizes we have on offer may have been a factor. Adam’s entry (”No no no. I said bake it, not bike it.”) is a clear winner, so I’ll be sending him some Toast...

Last week’s caption contest only had one entry (what’s the matter the rest of you - cat got your tongue?), so Kim’s entry wins by default. It would probably have won anyway, so we’ll be sending the Middleton siblings around just as soon as we’ve got them into the shipping crate. The subject matter for...

You probably noticed that there was no caption contest last week - I was too busy watching TV, and waving a Union Jack to bother with such trivialities. Either that, or just taking advantage of the day off work to take Huge Dalmatian for a walk. Which do you think? Anyway - before we look...
