13:01 UK time, Friday, 6 June 2008

Winning entries in the now-returned Caption Competition.

The competition is now closed. Full rules can be seen here [PDF].

George Bush presents the Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert with a Segway.

Thanks to all who entered. The prize of a small amount of kudos to the following:

6. nigelmccc
The Scary White House Experience.

5. Snaggers
George couldn't understand why Ehud couldn't get the pogo stick to work.

3. ruddigore
Bush was rather pleased with his choice. This gift was even better than the space hopper he presented to Pope Benedict XVI.

2. SeanieSmith
"Don't you go givin' me no bad feedback y'hear or I'll lose my Powerseller status."

1. stigmondo
