52 to be exact.
52! That’s one for every week of the year, the number of playing cards in a standard deck, the number of white keys on a piano, the international dialling code for Mexico and the atomic number of the element that an old school pal used to call “Tell-your-mum”*.
52! That’s 50 more than the two of us ever expected.
You, our Facebook followers, you are our Spartans!
Only there’s not 300 of you and you (probably) don’t have shields or big spears.
Snorbanites! Prepare for glory!
“This is blasphemy! This is madness!
Madness…?
THIS IS SNORBANS!”
And this is AL3 WTF’s first ever (and quite possibly last) competition.
It’s simple.
There are two judges.
Just the two of us, Me and Him.
Write a caption for this picture.
The one that amuses us (Me and Him) the most will win a prize.
In the (quite likely) event the judges can’t agree there will be two prizes.
We can almost hear you squealing now “What’s the prize?!, What’s the prize?!”
Well that would be telling but, it will be unique or, in the event of disagreement between Me and Him, one of a (very nearly) unique pair.
Final date for entries is 31/05/2015.Winning name(s) may be published, judge’s decision is final, blah de blah de blah blah blaah.
Oh yeah – you can tell your friends and friends of friends that they can enter too but, rest assured, they will never have the A-Lister status of you, “The 52”, for
“Tonight we dine in (enter name of favourite St Albans eaterie here) !!
*It’s actually Tellurium.
Lisa, are you 52 too?
We are the honoured ones, but where is your caption?
PS – For future reference, when writing a compound number between 21 and 99, always use a hyphen e.g. “The Fifty-Two”.
Me (and Him)
I am honoured to be one of The Fifty Two. That’s what they call “an early adopter” in the tech world, isn’t it? Finally, in my fifties, I am ahead of the curve. That already makes me a winner in my book.
