Caption competition winner No 92
Send in your witty words to win a prize
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?

HAVE YOUR SAY

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:
