Caption Competition 229
Matthew Pinsent and the stars of The Incredibles
This week's caption competition featured legendary Olympic rower Matthew Pinsent at the premiere of The Incredibles in London's Leicester Square.

Pinsent recently announced his retirement from rowing after a glittering career that saw him win four Olympic gold medals, most recently in a thrilling finish at the Athens Games.

We asked you:

What is going on in this surreal picture?

This week's witty winner is...

Nick Bryans from Brighton and Hove with this entry:

At the Sydney 2000 rowing team reunion, it had become aware to Pinsent that James Cracknell and Steve Redgrave may have dabbled in plastic surgery...

Well done to you Nick! A BBC goody bag will be winging its way to you.

The next cap comp will be published on monday
