Captions should be funny, not nasty.

Photo from Stuff. As always funny not nasty.

Oh my God. How can this not be a caption contest. Remember they should be funny, not nasty. And try to not make them too dirty.

Photo from Heather du Plessis-Allan on Twitter.

This is from this morning as the PM visited a manufacturer. I’m not sure what caused the grimace but I am told it led to much hilarity.

Anyway makes a good caption contest. As always they should be funny, not nasty.

Phil Goff and Chris Hipkins with Issy from New Zealand’s Next Top Model.

Captions should be funny, not nasty.

Not picking on Phil, but this photo from the SST is just too good to resist.

Captions should be funny, not nasty, please.

From Gotcha. Fill in the paper for Trevor – funny, not nasty.

A spy has sent in this photo of Phil Goff campaigning in West Auckland yesterday. I am assured it has not been photoshopped.

Captions below please – and as always funny not nasty.

This photo from Waikato University is of Phil Goff doing “virtual pig shooting”. Captions to be funny, not nasty.

Peter Dunne “planking” on Backbenches. Good on him for taking up the challenge from a viewer, but nevertheless can’t resist a caption contest.

As always, funny not nasty please.

The President of Iran with National’s candidate for Wellington Central. Captions welcome below – funny, not nasty. Hat Tip: Dim Post

The photo is from The Press, and for those who can’t recognise him from that view, yes that is the PM (and Kate Wilkinson).

Captions below please – as always they should be funny and not nasty.

UPDATE: Some of my favourites to date are:

• Here do I swear
  By hand and by mouth
  Fealty to Gerry
  King of the South.
• Like this five times a day & no bacon sandwiches.
• Not to be outdone by Air New Zealand, Jetstar begins filming its new safety video.
• PM responds to Treasury advice on Superannuation.
• False alarm – it was just Gerry walking past.

This photo is from the ODT. As always, captions should be funny, and not nasty. Note Trevor’s man bag (might be strap from crutches) and I honestly don’t know what Parekura is doing.

As always, funny not nasty. Enjoy.

Unlike the normal caption contest, this is one has no rules

Enter captions below. Funny, not nasty.

I’ve been banned from blogging it myself as a caption contest, but Danyl at Dim Post has done so. Enjoy.

Peter Shirtcliffe from the Put MMP to the Vote Campaign is running a caption contest.

Submit your caption or captions (you can use one or both blank spaces) either as a comment on this post, or by e-mail to Peter.

The winning entry (as judged by Peter) will win a bottle of quality Champagne or an iPod Nano – you decide.

This photo from The Press is too good to ignore. Again funny not nasty.

This photo was taken the day Phil Goff became Leader.  Normal rules – funny not nasty.

Red Alert claims this is them celebrating their first birthday, but I am sure we can come up with better captions for the. As always funny not nasty.

Congrats to Labour for their first birthday. I think it has been a great initiative, and have enjoyed interacting with Labour MPs there. I check it out almost every day. By comparison I check out the National MPs combined blog site around once a month, if that. I can only handle reading so many posts about the opening some local school hall without wanting to blow my brains out.

Red Alert has had some decent stats also:

Today we are One. So we thought we’d celebrate.1902 posts, 35,116 comments. 35 out of 43 Labour MPs have posted on Red Alert. Some more than others. Trevor Mallard still wins the prize for the most posts (550). Followed by me (212) Grant (198) Phil Twyford (156) and Chris Hipkins (136) …

I could point out I have managed to blog more by myself than 35 MPs combined (and it is their job, not a hobby like for me) but that would be churlish . I am sincere when I say that overall I think Labour have done very well with their parliamentary blog, and I hope they continue with it, even when they make Government again one day.
