I hope you're all proud of yourselves... you've all made me snort most inelegantly yes... flick eyes at everyone in particular like a pig at a trough I was ;))) I'm going to have to keep you waiting a bit longer as I have an appointment. I should be home and declaring a winner no latter than 1pm (utc) hopefully. Before I go, thanks for the congrats, Lynn :) Just one more thing... I'm going to assume "David has been fiddling again" isn't a caption entry, Richard, but ... it was very good ;))) Thank you for letting me know about it though ;) ID: 1959491 ·

Each caption has been an absolute gem :) so thank you so much to everyone for playing. From the mischievous, suggestive, serene, and sublime, all were very funny :)) but I've managed to whittle them down (with enormous difficulty), to the following: In third place, the Admiral for "Let's play twister" :))) it took me completely by surprise. Rob has secured second place with his: "Hold on, I've got handles on these...." :))) the first two words painted a sort of... picture in my head... somehow... and it really was quite difficult to shift ;) y-e-e-e-e-s... And Lynn, I know we didn't attend the same high school, but I'm wondering whether we both encountered the same physical education teacher, because "KNOCKERS UP LADIES!" was one of her rallying cries to the less-than-enthusiastic amongst us, and I'd not thought about that for years :))) so thank you too and congratulations! I had a lot of fun, and to me, you're all winners :) I will send a pm now... ID: 1959515 ·
