CAPTION COMPETITION: Win an amazing £28,933 off your rent or mortgage - thanks to Dr David McElhinney, chief executive of Liverpool Direct Limited!


Win an amazing £28,900 off your rent or mortgage - courtesy of Dr David McElhinney's amazing generosity.
All you have to do to pocket this fabulous prize is submit the best caption for our exclusive photo. Five special runner-up prizes (all collector's items) will also be awarded.
Here's how you can take part:
You will not have to run with Dr Dave in the New York marathon.
Nor will you have to go out for dinner with him.
Nor will you have to book Halsall's son's band for the Summer Pops.
Or fix up a job at BT. (That's a new one on me, ed)
Nor will you have to cost the city council's taxpayers £2.1 million in the last six years.
Or lobby on behalf of a private company for a multi-million pound council contract.
Or mount a coup d'etat against the elected representatives of the people.
Or walk away with a fat cheque in your greedy little hand.
Or...(Just get on with it, ed)
All you have to do is provide a funny, caustic or derogatory caption about the two people pictured in the centre of the photo - Robbing Archer and the wicked Henshaw.
Dr Dave has enthusiastically agreed to stump up the £28,933 for the best caption as part of a glittering LDL-sponsored ceremony at his evil lair in Venture Place.
Don't be surprised at this fabulous prize - he has been equally generous before.
And remember, please don't be kind with your caption - these people have spent years literally taking the **** out of Liverpool.
Now it's Liverpool's turn to take the **** out of them.
Off you go!

(PS - He's been wanting to do this for ages you know, ed)

Don't ecxpect Labour to be making the difference. Rumour has it that those who would make a difference have been prevented from standing for election or have been shafted and prevented because there are some who are scared of a new breed taking over (check out their address compared to those who were chosen - indeed ask for FOI records!!). We should wait a couple of years until er elect these sh*ts.

Bacon and Bio-Domes said...

Where did it all go wrong? Does anybody remember the half eaten bacon sandwich incident when DH first arrived in Liverpool?

Left in its wrapper on the stairs in the Municipal buidling and spotted by eagle eyed DH on his first tour? Held as an example of what was wrong with the city and council workers, how many people had walked passed it during the day? How many had not thought to pick it up? Retold with huge admiration for DH by the quaking sychophants as a mark of the measure of the man. Then rather than one of them pick it up they made frantic calls and sent for somebody to remove it to a bin and all watched in satisfaction at the transformation of Liverpool taking place before their eyes.

Such inspiration! It made him a King amongst men. Nay, a God. Why didn't they stop him when he made his horse a senator and seized neptunes booty?

Speaking of which, the biggest bleedin' aquarium in Europe? a marine bio-dome to rival the Eden Project, for Liverpool? Too busy with the Fourth Gross? ( when's that coming up)

DH response:Fish tanks? No space for that go away.
