The Herald had this less-than-flattering photo yesterday in the second instalment of its essay on David Cunliffe. And we reckon it's a natural for a Caption Contest.
What might Mr Cunliffe, Michael Cullen and Shane Jones be thinking? You all know the rules by now; keep 'em short, pithy and amusing, and don't get unnecessarily personal. Beyond that, you're limited only by your imagination.
The floor is yours...
Labour holds it's election-year congress today, largely behind closed doors. So it's only right that we celebrate the party's leader in some way.
And Newstalk ZB's Barry Soper provided just the right photograph late yesterday:
You know the rules by now. Keep 'em short, pithy, relevant and amusing, and don't get unnecessarily personal. Beyond that, you're limited only by your imagination.
Go on; you know you want to...
Some photographs subtly draw us towards the creation of a Caption Contest. Others scream out to us, at the top of their voices. This photo is one of the latter:
So what might David Cunliffe be thinking as he works on the production line at Kono Seafoods in Blenheim yesterday, opening mussels? Or what might his "co-workers" be thinking?
You know the rules; keep 'em short, on-topic, pithy and amusing, and don't get unnecessarily personal. Beyond that, you're limited only by your imagination.
The floor (or should that be the caption production line?) is yours...H/T Scott Hammond (Fairfax NZ)
England's second-stringers gave the All Blacks a mighty fright last night before the home side prevailed 20-15. It wasn't pretty stuff; a test match that was a throwback to the good old days of rugby.
But we've just spotted this photo on the Herald, and it's a natural for a Caption Contest, especially the chap in the headgear:You know the rules by now; keep 'em short, on-topic, and amusing, and don't get unnecessarily personal. Beyond that you are limited only by your imagination.Game on!
David Cunliffe visited Whanganui yesterday; both the city and the electorate, hence the h! And the Wanganui Chronicle (without the h) features this photo of him in Victoria Avenue (just across the road from Hon Chestser Borrows MP's office) on a walkabout with local candidate Hamish McDouall.
You know the rules; keep 'em short, pithy, amusing and to the point, and don't get unnecessarily personal. Beyond that, you're limited only by your imagination.
We'll get things started:
Baby: Hasn't anyone ever told you that it's rude to point? Blimmin' Auckland latte drinkers...
We're sure you can do better; the floor is yours...
We haven't had a Caption Contest for a while, so for no other reason than because we can and because we feel like a little light relief, here goes. What might John Key, Sam Lotu-Iiga and their new bestie Shane Jones be thinking or saying as the do the rounds of the Pacific Islands?
You know the rules; keep 'em short, funny, pithy and to the point, and don't get any more personal than is necessary. Beyond that, you're limited only by your imagination.
We'll get the ball rolling:
John Key; Why isn't Shane wearing a tie? Good question. Mr Cunliffe took all the red ties back when Shane left the Labour Party. He's a bit mean, eh...
Bill English delivers his sixth Budget in around 90 minutes. So what is he saying to Steven Joyce, his right-hand man, in this picture?
And then there's David Cunliffe, but he's in black and white. What might he be thinking? You know the rules; keep 'em short, pity, amusing and to the point, and don't get unnecessarily personal. Other than that, you're limited, as ever, by your own imagination.
The floor is yours...
Things have been pretty tense for the last few days. So let's lighten up for an hour or two.
David Cunliffe has reshuffled his caucus today, and as with any reshuffle, there have been winners and losers. First elected in 1984, Trevor Mallard would appear to the the new hope of the Labour Party, rocketing up from being in the bottom eight unranked MP's (of a caucus of 34) to #15. On the other hand, Chris Hipkins, who has been one of Labour's best performers slips off the front bench to #10 to allow the almost anonymous Nanaia Mahuta to rejoin the front bench.
The Herald story on the reshuffle was accompanied by this photograph:
We're not sure why Kieran McAnulty was present. Perhaps, as a TAB bookie, he was setting the odds on the winners and losers. But we digress; you know the rules; keep 'em short, humourous, pithy and relevant, and don't get unnecessarily personal. Beyond that, you are limited only by your own imagination.
The floor is yours...
