Caption Competition
Winning entries in the Caption Competition.
The competition is now closed.
This week, a pair of primates catch up with the news at the Great Gorilla Run in London.
Thanks to all who entered. The prize of a small amount of kudos to the following:

"OK, if not Millwall v West Ham, how about Glyndebourne?"
5. alykat730
"It's been three years Gus, do you really think Mjikuu is still pining over you? You've really got to get back in the dating game. You want someone smart, who's going places, not stranded out in the jungle. Here, check the personals in the FT..."
4.Magnum Carter
Investigators find the root of the sub-primate lending scandal.
3. Daveygod21
"I always said, give them enough time and enough typewriters, eventually they'd produce something readable."
