Voted. As someone previously said it was tougher than I thought it would be scoring everyone's entry. I have my favourite (Not mine you suspicious lot), but a lot were a close second.


If at first you don't succeed........bribe someone.

Quoted from MarkRenshaw
Just voted. Two, in particular, stood out for me, although I think I know which one is going to win. There are a lot of decent ones though and I didn't DQ any but my own.

I have kept mine in the running just to be a sport and all that and I'm sorry that we ended up in a bit of a debate over visuals, but I think it was all amicable in the end.  


Glad you stayed in, mate. Will be interesting if we have the same two - I thought two stood out. And yes - it was all amicable.

A bit of a change from the norm, I think this has been the calmest, drama-free challenge in a while. I'm a fan.

That was hilarious.

My only critique is that it should be titled: "Boat On Fire."

Lol, took me a few reads to understand what was going on.

Reminded me of this urban legend:

This is the transcript of a radio conversation of a US naval ship with Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland in October, 1995. Radio conversation released by the Chief of Naval Operations 10-10-95.

Americans: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the North to avoid a collision.

Canadians: Recommend you divert YOUR course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision.

Americans: This is the Captain of a US Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course.

Canadians: No. I say again, you divert YOUR course.

Americans: This is the aircraft carrier USS Lincoln, the second largest ship in the United States' Atlantic fleet. We are accompanied by three destroyers, three cruisers and numerous support vessels. I demand that YOU change your course 15 degrees north, that's one five degrees north, or countermeasures will be undertaken to ensure the safety of this ship.

Canadians: This is a lighthouse. Your call.
