Caption competition winner No 92
Jimmy White is put off his stroke by a streaker who looks strangely familiar.
But who fended off some fierce competition to snaffle this week's goody bag? Jimmy White sailed through his opening round of the World Snooker Championships with ease, beating Dominic Dale 10-2. And the appearance of a streaker, clad only in a Sven-Goran Eriksson mask, certainly livened up the proceedings. And amid the deluge of wit, innuendo and smuttiness shone this jewel of a caption from Richard Day of Singapore: Jim Davidson's attempts to keep "Big Break" on air became increasingly desperate. Well done Richard! Your goody bag is on its way.
Here's a selection of the best of the rest:
Wow, so this is a 149.
In one week I've gone from Ulrika to Streaka!
With worries growing over injuries to his players, Eriksson decides to show England fans that at least he is in full working order.
I've just been caught by Ulrika's father Joe Johnson, any chance of hiding under the table?

White: Sven, when I asked you to let me in on the secret of your success, I didn't mean in bed!
Sven's classical CD may not have been selling well, but this is ridiculous.
The guy in the crowd behind John Williams's head thinks: "Who's this bum Jim's playing?"
And to think that the England fans think that The Sun shines out of Sven's backside. Wrong side, guys!
Sven always finds his way in to sporting events. No matter what he has to do.
Jimmy: I can clearly see this man's nuts!
Whatever happens, hold the front page.
Is that a cue in your hand or are you just pleased to see me?
After being in the news for much of the week over the Ulrika affair, Sven sinks to new depths to keep himself in the headlines.
The professional snooker community cannot conceal their amusement at the preferred reading material of the intruding football fan.
Sir, you are not wearing a tie, you will have to leave...
"Newspapers advertise everywhere these days, eh?"
A shower malfunction transported an unsuspecting Sven to the Crucible Theatre. "Er, seen my towel?"

Jimmy White thinks: It's more than the white and black balls that will be getting hit off the table if Mr Sven continues disturbing my game.

Jimmy: "Call that a sport?"
Streaker: Hi I'm from Sven-o-Grams. Which one of you is the lucky birthday boy?
The fact that Jimmy White wasn't at home didn't deter his eager paperboy.
Jimmy's on course for a One Four Sven.
For once, we can be thankful for the personal coverage of Sven by the tabloid press.
Ref: "Touching Ball!"
Most staff supported the Crucible's cut backs but the replacement toilet paper was too much for some.
Brings a whole new meaning to "pot as many balls as you can"!
Excuse me Mr White, can you play left midfield?
Forget the paper bag, Gareth Southgate decided he should change to a more human look after Euro 96.
"Look Jimmy, you'd better win this thing soon. It's not just my shirt I've lost betting on you."
Snooker players wearing advertising slumps to an all time low.
Jimmy White disqualified from World Nude Snooker Championships.
Streaker: I don't know why everyone's so upset. When I did it at Anfield everyone thanked me for livening things up a bit!

"Did anyone see my aerosol?"
Referee: Foul! Free ball, Jimmy White.

Sven was prepared to do anything for a bit of publicity.
Fed up with the Village People's monopoly on the caption competition, Black Lace bring their Agadoo revival tour to Sheffield. Altogether now: "Spray! Superman!!!"
"Excuse me, sir. The vegetable in question is a swede."
Jimmy's opponent was just a little too cock sure of himself.
Touching balls!
Even with the poor disguise, there was no doubt - Cheggers was at it again!!
After being told that he has arrived in Sheffield five years too late for the Full Monty audition, Sven sees the funny side.
"Ehh ref, can you clean the balls for me please."
Dominic Dale's attempts to escape his defeat by disguising himself as Sven backfires when his cue comes into view.
Is that your snooker cue or are you just pleased to see me?
Streaker: Don't be daft! If I do YMCA properly I'll drop the blinkin' paper!
"Look Mr Higgins, I'm not letting you play dressed like that."
