Caption competition
13:05 UK time, Thursday, 17 November 2011
Winning entries in the Caption Competition.
The competition is now closed.
This week it was Larry, Downing St's official rodent catcher, who has apparently been sleeping on the job (as cats are wont to do). Despite reports of a mouse at recent prime ministerial dinner, he will not be resigning - Number 10 has given Larry its full backing.
Thanks to all who entered. The prize of a small amount of kudos to the following:
6. Ade:
Chairman Meow.
5. Catherine O:
I have the full backing of the prime minister? I'll get my coat then.
4. trigg_27 - Keep 606 alive for Rambo:
I can has expenses?
3. bainbo:
Moggy, moggy, moggy! Out, out, out!
2. MuteJoe:
Sir Robin Day was a firm believer in reincarnation.
1. Kudosless:
Despatch box. Litter tray. Whatever.
