  • The Unrepentant Return Of The Inevitable Slighty Festive Caption Competition!

    Seasons Greetings fellow Caption Comp fan, and to all of my other friend on here!

    As befits the time of year, and in view of the weather we've been having recently here in the UK, I felt a slighty festive offering was appropriate this time around! The image in question will be well known to long standing Greeves enthusiasts, and was also chosen (very wisely I might add) by our esteemed newsletter editor Colin Sparrow, for the cover of 'Leading Link' #138 (December 2007.)

    But before we get to that, my highly respected fellow humourists, perhaps, with your kind indulgence of course, I may offer a little 'historical background' to this little known 'extreme' winter sport.

    Skijoring ('skē-jȯr-iŋ) is a winter sport where a person on skis is pulled by a horse, a dog (or dogs) or a motor vehicle. It is derived from the Norwegian word skikjøring meaning ski driving. I present for you below some examples of this activity for your edification and enjoyment.

    Pic 1. Ulrike Hafpain skillfully steers her two ski-hounds Olaf and Petal away from the nearby trees.

    Pic 2. Part time competitior Arne Saknussemm being driven by his wife Anker and their pet horse Boris, pictured shortly before their tragic divorce and well publicised court case.

    Pic 3. Here, the usual suspects Keyser Söze and his fearless tow-skier Gunter Dimmermann, unleash the ferocious power of their specially modified 350 Jawa commuter machine at Augustusberg, Germany, in 1963. (This one's true...well, mostly!)

    Pic 4. And so, inexorably and somewhat circuitously (as usual!), we arrive at the object of our deliberations, Andre Baldet and his hapless 'victim' Skijoring on a Greeves! So....to get things going......

    "Oi.....Andre! Slow down a bit! I've 'ad a blowout in one of me plimsoles...!!!"

    Or; (...and this one is to pre-empt and hopefully curtail any further 'crude' offerings that may be forthcoming! Please take note, Messers Thornton, Rotherham and Higgins...!!!)

    "Oi.....Andre! When I said 'Let It Rip' that isn't what I meant...!!!"

    Have fun everyone, as always, but please do at least try to keep it clean (as the driven snow!)

    Brian.

                  'Not too quickly, I hope....' thinks Norbert (on the skis.) 'Mind you', he muses, 'it's been a long time since I've seen my Auntie......who lives in Belgium....'

                  Good one Geoff!

                          Excellent guys, what vivid imaginations you are blessed with!

                          Pic 1.

                          This tummy toning exercise seemed a bit extreme at first, but it really has worked wonders. The dogs have tremendous torso's now, don't you think!
                          Clean, if nothing else.

                            Hello mate!

                            Good one Adrian!

                            Glad you're enjoying the latest 'Return Of The Inevitable...'!

                            I'm still chuckling at Dave's brilliant quip about the 'gate marshall and the starting elastic' (to go with pic 3.) in post 5! Very funny indeed! Yep, it's a good start alright!

                            It's good to be able to have a bit of a laugh isn't it!

                            Brian.
