Caption Competition
15:33 UK time, Friday, 3 April 2009
Winning entries in the caption competition.
The competition is now closed.
This week, the Browns welcomed the Obamas to Downing Street. But what's being said?
Thanks to all who entered. The prize of a small amount of kudos to the following:
6. Dhanoalot
"So basically, when Crouch scores, he does the robot, like this. Watch me now!"
5. LaurenceLane
"And if you're really interested, I can get you a great mortgage through Northern Rock."
4. Kudosless
"An arm round her is nothing, Michelle. This is the hand I goosed her with..."
3. WeeChrissieB
"Now, Mr President, please assist us by calling down the dove from above. Hhrrrooow! Hhrrrooow!"
2. NotMeHonest
With his casual remark "looks like rain", Obama was getting the hang of British small-talk.
1. Vicky S
"Please high five me Barack. I've got a hole in my 18 -28 demographic that you wouldn't believe."
