This week's Caption Contest

Last week's Caption Contest was so much fun, we've decided to do it again!

Congrats to last week's winner, timetart, who said...
...and this is a photo of Amanda and me, in happier times, at the Real Estate Ball... before.... hmmm...the "incident" Contact CairnsBlog to claim your prize!

This time we've got Councillors Terry James & Mayor Byrne, with Mayor Mike Berwick and Councillor Melinda Cox from Douglas Shire.

The photo was taken by The Cairns Post, and I hope they will be gracious in allowing us to exploit their photo that, quite frankly, made me ill when I saw the smarmy smirks on the faces. It was taken following the first TLC.. I mean LTC (Local Transition Committee.. or Lots of Talk & Chatter)

Actually, The Cairns Post deserve a bouquet by letting the public know about CairnsBlog last week, to which we are sincerely grateful. The Editor, Mark Alexander has also been a good sport in allowing us to poke the old bit of fun at his newspaper, or is that 'our' newspaper?

Anyway, back to this week's caption competition... this pic is screaming out for your input.
As always, I'll start the ball rolling with my attempt at some wit...















  1. "You guys in Port are so gunna get screwed, and not in a nice way"
  2. "You don't have balls Mike, but I see you have a cox!"
  3. "Kevin, obviously the finer foods agree with you"
  4. "Well, two suits and two dressed as North Queenslanders... says it all really, doesn't it?"
  5. "I thought your wife was a female Kevin, who's that guy with you on the left?"
  6. "So Mr Berwick, either she goes, or we get new wallpaper"
  7. "Yeah I think his name is James. Mr Driver, I think"
  8. "I carry around this ID because it reminds me that I'm the Führer in these parts"
  9. "... your turn.....

Yes of course Mike, you can have Maccas, Red Rooster and another KFC if you like.....all I ask is that you agree with me on everything, that your loyalty is true to me and please dont ever sleep with my wife!
Oh Big Kev, mmmm I wouldnt be brave enough to sleep with your wife, she is bigger and meaner than me !

All this food talk will be giving Cr Terry "Towlie" James the munchies something chronic. Please, think of him before posting such posts.

As usual after every closed meeting, Kev sings a verse of Cairns National anthem to those slow in running out the door-'Far northerners let us rejoice for we have lots of me, I'll let you build what ere you want, just buy me lunch and see, on hill slopes and on pristeen coast, you've got my solemn oath, in histories eyes I'll be the guy who ruined Cairns the most!

Howard, the stinkin bastards will still be in power here for Aust Day. So my guess is we can get you an orange box to stand on and you can sing to your hearts content right on the lawn of the CCC building !! Im sure Michael Moore can join in with that crazy kiwi dance, and I can bring my singing galah to accompany you. How does that sound?

Anonymous said...

Mandy Moo Apart from the kiwi dance and the galah, sounds good! They say never work with animals or kiwis-they'll always steal the show!

Howard,
The kiwi and the galah are perfecting their tap dance routine....maybe you could reconsider our kind offer? Have had a word to them both....and they promise to be on their bestest behaviour and not steal your thunder !!
