Sitting Tennant

Well, almost no one noticed but I was working so hard last week on a job with the most inconvenient (for blogging) hours imaginable that I had no time to do anything but the Daily News. And I was at Ikea over the weekend – yes, all weekend – so that meant no time for Sitting Tennant.

However, that got me thinking of, amongst other things, a cover story but also whether we could turn that all to our advantage. And here’s the idea:

Wouldn’t it be much more easy and convenient to have the captionable Tennant pic on Monday, giving you a week to think of captions before a relaxing new set arriving on Friday to look at over the weekend, without the stress of captioning? I think it would.

So, I’m doing a swapsie: Monday’s Sitting Tennant is now Friday’s, and Friday’s is now Monday’s. Clear? I hope so.

So you’ve until next Monday to come up with captions for this lovely pic provided by Sabine. Good luck!

1. Rullsenberg: 50
2. Toby, Sister Chastity, Sabine: 40
3. Erin C, Rachel: 15

Best caption for the St Valentine’s picture was new arrival Rachel‘s, with her Mitchell and Webb‘s "Get me Hennimore!" effort. Well done to her, and a big thank you to everyone else for contributing. Oh, and a big "Hello!" to Marie – welcome back, and I think we’re all glad to see you up on your feet again. Except for people worried that you’ll beat them in the Sitting Tennant caption competition, obviously.

1. Jane Henry: 35
2. Rullsenberg, Toby: 30
3. Sabine, Electric Dragon: 20
4. kellyann06, Rachel, Sister Chastity, ecg: 10
5. Marie: 5

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, 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 Monday 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 Monday’s Sitting Tennant photo, the best caption getting 10 points, everyone who contributes getting five points.

While we all marvel over the fact no one has yet dared to use the phrase “doggy style” in a caption for the weekend’s Sitting Tennant, feast your eyes on this massive cornucopia of Tennants, thanks to (in no particular order) Rullsenberg, Toby, Sister Chastity, Sabine, Erin C and Rachel.

Don’t overdose.

Many people think I’m kidding when I say I have a problem with names. Or if not kidding, they think it’s just an excuse for not being bothered to do research (although they might have a point there).

However, case in point illustrates just how stupid my brain really is. Somewhere before Christmas, despite the fact that they’re labelled differently in my email program, send in their pictures using different methods, and were both on the leaderboard as separate people, my brain decided that Sister Chastity and Karen were the same person. It didn’t matter what evidence was presented to it, as soon as Karen sent in a picture, it ended up in Sister Chastity’s pile and I even replied to her emails as though she were Sister Chastity, despite the fact she came up as “Karen” rather than “Sister Chastity”.

See? Messed up.

Now, that didn’t affect last year’s scoring any, but it’s obviously left Karen a bit behind this year. Apologies to Karen and everyone involved – I truly am a spanner.

So for one week and one week only, we have a very special “Karen Sitting Tennant” Monday (we’ll see about Friday), to enable her to catch up and get her total to where it should be.

Feast your eyes on the pics above: they’re all from her, which means the picture leaderboard now looks like this.

1. Rullsenberg: 45
2. Toby, Sister Chastity: 35
3. Sabine, Karen: 25
4. Erin C: 10

To prevent my messed up brain from doing similar in future, I’ve a big ask for picture contributors – in future, no matter how you provide your pics, can you include your name in the filename please (eg RobSittingTennant5.jpg)? It’ll help prevent this kind of thing from happening again (probably). Oh, and picture contributors – please be vigilant and make sure I’m not ignoring you or wrongly attributing pics as well? Thanks.

Anyway, don’t forget Friday’s caption competition!

I feel this is almost a sequel to last week’s. Ms Rullsenberg gets the points for top pic of the week this week, which neatly catapults her into the lead.

We’ll have a very special edition of Sitting Tennant on Monday, for reasons that can best be summed up as “Rob is a spanner”. Brace yourself for that.

Meanwhile, over in Sitting Caption land, oh no, it’s happened again. Three captions, two from Rullsenberg, one from Toby. Were you all feeling a bit feverish or something? Nevertheless, Tobe’s won through with his caption, so he gets the shiny ten points. I hope you all feel more inspired this time!
