Len Tillsupe ,

To Boy Wonder #43

But I'll take it as a secret Yes! I'm risking life and limber here saying it - and putting me head above the parapet but at same time probably speaking for all of us when I say that the winners captions were absolutely GARBAGE and the persons judging this competition seriously need a humour transplant.
44

Len Tillsupe ,

--- Edinburgh 01/09/2008 14:42:01


Of course, I realise I've opened my mouth too far and no point in submitting any more captions as I've absolutely NO chance in winning now.

Ahummmm, there's always a name transplant !!

48

Grover D. Pomegranate,

A greenhouse in the Botanical Gardens is most certainly not my first choice for a book signing...
49

Grover D. Pomegranate,

Edinburgh 01/09/2008 15:26:49

Wait'll Sean sees me. I'm sure he'll agree I deserve to be Europe's top Sean Connery lookalike.

HOld this, he says. Been here half an hour and he still hasn't found a pen!
56

Grover D. Pomegranate,

Edinburgh 01/09/2008 15:42:44

I was told the place would be mobbed, but all I've got is a solitary stalker and I can't shake the guy off.
57

Grover D. Pomegranate,

Edinburgh 01/09/2008 16:01:14

Sod this for a game of soldiers!
"You'll be treated like a star", he says.
"The fans'll mob you", he says.
"There'll be crowd histeria", he says.
And what do I get? One bloody stalker!

Boy, wonder if these are all sent in by the same bloke?
72

Sarcasm,

01/09/2008 16:20:53
Now look here, don't judge a book by its cover.
73

Grover D. Pomegranate,

Edinburgh 01/09/2008 16:22:05

Someone said the Spice Girls would be here. Where the hell are they then??
74

Grover D. Pomegranate,

Edinburgh 01/09/2008 16:23:41

81

Grover D. Pomegranate,

Edinburgh 01/09/2008 17:01:05
