SHELL-LIKE

For the last couple of months I've been entering The Listener weekly caption competition.

At first I was unsuccessful until I realised that the sub-editors nowadays are most likely 20- somethings and that anything that is too witty or erudite is likely to go unappreciated.

I decided to dumb things down a bit and as a result was a finalist twice.

This week my caption was the winner.



It's not exactly high-brow and obviously reaches the lowest common denominator.



My prize arrived by mail today which shows that The Listener is on the ball. It's  the latest J.K. Rowling Harry Potter story.




I think I'll step it up a bit and start entering the 'Wordsworth' competition which requires a bit more thought.
