Nico:*thinks to himself* I'm so done with these idiots, sigh, smile and wave just smile and wave.

 

[Venari]

Hands on Hips Guy: At least Bottas might be a bit more sincere on the radio.
Woman with Folded Arms: I've just received five hundred business cards for him we ordered after the last race, the little sod.

(No, I don't know what team they are. )

 

[BlacqueJacques]

Nico thinking to himself: Wait till they here my retirement announcement and I can say Lewis will never ever beat me again; das ist gut!

 

[Touring Mars]

Dang, I forgot to compose the poll for this round before heading home for Xmas, and now I don't have a laptop to do it until I return in January - if anyone would care to post up the poll for me, that would be great but otherwise apologies for the delay!

 

[TheBook]

I can do it in a couple hours when I get home from work.

 

[Jimlaad43]

I'll start doing it now

 

[Touring Mars]

I'll start doing it now

Nice one! Thanks very much

I hope that's all correct, and there we go, @Touring Mars scores a final victory to cap off aother incredible year of Captioning. Congratulations to GTP_Ingram and Famine, who finish off the top 3, and well done to everyone who won a round.

Caption of the Year on its way soon.​

 

[Touring Mars]

Thanks @Jimlaad43 for finishing this year's competition - these posts are nigh on impossible to compose using a phone, especially one like mine that makes posting anything on GTP a mind-numbing chore!

Thanks to everyone for playing - hope you all enjoyed the 2016 season, and hope to see you all in a few weeks when the whole F1 debacle starts all over again....

Happy New Year!

 

[Flex0r]

Again missed a few rounds, because I wasn't paying attention, despite that pretty chuffed with 11th place.(wit)

Thanks @Touring Mars for hosting another round and congrats on the win.

 

[BlacqueJacques]

Thanks again to Touring Mars for hosting; 2017 Season awaits and I managed 16th place for a change ; thanks for the votes 👍
