Captiontastic

Dunno about you, but I think this site seems to have got a bit stodgy lately. Lots of heavy discussions, and not enough CAPTION COMPETITIONS!

So, here’s this grim woman from the NMC site. What do you think she’s saying as she holds up her copy of the code of conduct? I’m sure Z [...]

Caption competition – tha winnar!

And the winner of the caption competition, with 11 thumbs-up, is Lorna with “And this is the new antipsychotic suppository. You’re just hallucinating the sharp corners.”

Tomorrow, there will be a new caption competition.

And yes, I know it’s round-up day, you impatient lot.

Caption Competition – Robot Nurse

This week’s caption competition comes to via that bastion of reason, objectivity and non-frothing-at-the-mouth, the Daily Mail. The subject of the competition: robot nurses.

It’s time…

…for another caption competition, I think. Eh eh? And here’s a lovely picture from the bygone days of our profession. Here are some asylum attendants in a ward in the Leavesden asylum for “quiet and harmless imbeciles”

Attendants

What might these stout fellows be saying to one another?

Caption Competition Number: eggs

This weeks pic comes from somewhere amongst Channel4 comedy archives. I’ve no idea what it relates to – all I typed in Google image search was “argument” and “nurse”. Unfortunately it didn’t have a pic of any of us.

Caption Comp

You can blame this week’s caption competition on the Live Chat Box conversation.

This chap (possibly beakie but I’m still waiting confirmation) is engaging in what is known as extreme ironing. I’m not sure if that’s a rope or extension cable hanging down, but [...]

Caption Competition: Mock the BNP

The subject of the BNP seems to have provoked some furious arguments on this blog, and in the light of such strong feelings, it’s time to take decisive action.

And when I say “take decisive action”, I mean “have a caption competition”.

Here’s a gaggle of the BNP’s finest Ubermenschen, but what are [...]

Caption Competition: Male nurse action figure

We’re overdue for another caption competition, so for this one lets revisit but oldie-but-a-goodie story. The male nurse action figure that you can buy online.

The advertising blurb reads:

Armed with a stethoscope and a clipboard holding an X-ray, this 5-1/4″ (13.3 cm) tall, hard vinyl Male Nurse Action Figure is ready to [...]

Caption Competition: Christmas Nurse

What’s the theme for this week’s caption competition? Christmas, of course!

Caption Competition: Zombie Nurses

It suddenly occurred to me that we haven’t had a caption competition in ages. Time to rectify that.

As per usual, place your caption entries in the comments thread (one caption per comment, for multiple entries do multiple comments). Vote for a caption as being WIN and not FAIL by clicking on the [...]

Caption Competition – Stripey jumper woman

We’ve previously done caption competitions about Jed, the mysterious check-shirted man who seems to illustrate every mental health story on the BBC News website.

Now, the Nursing Times has Stripey Jumper Woman, who has been chosen to illustrate the government’s new agency for implementing mental health policy.

So, what is Stripey Jumper Woman [...]

Caption Competition: Psychotherapists

You know what? We haven’t done a caption competition for bloody ages. Time to remedy that. This caption competition takes the theme of psychotherapy, as that’s what’s been exercising our brains lately.

So, what are this therapist and client saying to each other?

THA ROOLZ: Enter your caption entries via the comments thread. [...]

Caption Competition: Mood Swings

Time for a new caption competition.

This one is a picture from a Sun article entitled, Can sardines cure the blues? I believe this lady is attempting to portray the horror of mood swings.

She has ever more tortured facial expressions on the page itself, as she goes from “Feeling glum … go [...]
