Just for a laugh - to all those Talented Members who are good with their words:

Compose a decent Cappucino limerick in the best possible taste to win a complete set of Cappuccino road test reports from the SCORE Press Library...

Has to be five lines as per a normal limerick!

A young man living life on the hoof
Bought a Cappo and acted aloof
When he felt claustrophobic
In a moment aerobic
He got out and took off the roof

There once was a young man from Cheam
Who wished to be heard but not seen
He soon found the key
6-5-7 cc
Wrapped up in a flying machine

A Scot from the old town of Fife
Feeling blunt with no meaning to life
Took advice from a bookie
And bought a Suzuki
Now he cuts through the air like a knife

An Essex boy in search of thrills
Disregarding the size of the bills
Tweaked his Cappo, and lo
It doesn't half go
And he avoids nasty motorbike spills


Similarity to any club member is entirely coincidental!

A gent sporting a city suit
Said to me, if you have not much loot
Then a Cappo's for you
I know, I've one too
With a roof that I stow in the boot

A hiker in need of a ride
Thumbed a Cappo and swelled up with pride
All was going quite well
He was feeling quite swell
'Till his rucksack would not fit inside

A SCORE member from Camberley
Said of his car, with some glee
She pulls really strong
Carves her way through the throng
And returns 38 mpg

Here is is:

A country boy from Forest Row
With oodles of get up and go
Put his foot to the floor
And signed up with SCORE
Now he has many friends with Cappos


For anyone who doesn't know, Alex Clouter lives in Forest Row.

A programmer in Cyber Space
Allows us all to touch base
With each other all day
And all night you could say
Since some live in that antipode place


A tribute to Barry (and all Australian members).

There was a Cap owner from Fleet
Awarded the Laureate's seat
He wanted some more
"Can't my pips number four ?
That would make the accolade complete "

Hi Nicholas,

Maybe I'm reading your message wrong or you misinterpreted mine but just to clear things up I wasn't chastising you at all. I too found it highly entertaining that Adrian had entered so many (very good) limericks. I temprorarily changed his normal rank and was waiting to see how long it took anyone to notice :roll:

Looks like Ian is going to give him a run for his money though :wink:
