** Caption competition - #1 **

Drumroll... 

Many of you have missed it; many have asked for its return... so after a 4-year suspension of hostilities festivities, the caption competition is back!

The winning caption will win £50-worth of M & S vouchers. Thanks to Simon Heath for the illustration!

FORMAT

You are invited to post your witty caption suggestions below. Extra points if you can somehow wangle in an “HR” slant to your caption! Funny is good, too - although be warned, the judges (CIPD staff) are tough nuts to crack. Frankly, after a difficult week after our community platform upgrade... I need my chuckle muscle exercised, too.

The obvious guidelines on rude words and gratuitous product placement apply. Thank you.

This thread will remain open to entries until midnight on 31st December - and the winner will be announced when we all return after the New Year break.

Here goes...

* Tip: we’re looking for *captions* - which tend to be better when short-ish in length.
