Sitting Tennant

Tuesday’s Sitting Tennant (week 4, 2012)

Sister Chastity's Sitting Tennant

And it’s Sister Chastity and Hebbie, neck and neck again. David Tennant, however, is trailing far behind – maybe if he’d bought a better car?

  1. Hebbie, Sister Chastity: 30
  2. shilohforever: 15
  3. Janice: 10

Jane Henry’s back and she won last week’s caption competition, despite Ms Rullsenberg’s usual filth – well done, Jane! All the same, Ms Rullsenberg is in the lead again.

  1. Rullsenberg: 15
  2. Sister Chastity, Jane Henry, SK: 10
  3. Jen, Toby: 5

Good luck with this week’s captioning and picture-hunting everyone! The results of January’s competition will be coming soon…

Got a picture of David Tennant sitting, lying down or in some indeterminate state in between? Then leave a link to it below or email me and if it’s judged suitable and doesn’t obviously infringe copyright, it will appear in the Sitting Tennant gallery. Don’t forget to include your name in the filename so I don’t get mixed up about who sent it to me.

The best pic in the stash each week will appear on Tuesday and get ten points; the runners up will appear on Friday (one per person who sends one in) and get five points.

You can also enter the witty and amusing captions league table by commenting on Tuesday’s Sitting Tennant photo, the best caption getting 10 points, everyone who contributes getting five points.

Each month, I’ll name the best picture provider and best captioneer, and then at the end of the year, the overall champion will be announced for 2012!
