There’s no prize at stake – just the opportunity to prove you’re wittier than any other LDV reader…
As I mentioned yesterday, Nick Clegg has been busy this week doing some real work. Here he is meeting US President Barack Obama, together with Denmark’s Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt and Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. What do you think might be being said or thought by or about them?
And the winners of our last caption comp is…

and this one by Keith Browning
Ed: ‘So Dave, can I call you Dave?, what’s on the menu for tonight’s dinner?
PM: ‘I haven’t checked, but I think its two greenfield planning permissions, a Royal Commission chair and possibly a knighthood – just a normal quiet night at home!!’
Congratulations to you both — you each win a copy of former Labour MP Chris Mullin’s diaries, A View from the Foothills. Which, incidentally, I reviewed here. Can you e-mail [email protected] with your address so we can post them to you, please?

After hours of waiting Nick Clegg, and the other competition winners, finally got to meet their hero Barack Obama.
“She’s with me, lad. Gorra problem?” said Clegg as his Sheffield local champion shtick got out of hand.
MC: “Now, which one of you two married Neil Kinnock’s son?”
Clegg to Obama: “do you know what she’s saying? It’s all double dutch to me”
She can call me anything she likes, Stephen Tall will still report it as a compliment.
Nick decided to go bold: “So, if you fancy it, we can ditch the dame, go back to my place, have some drinks, see what happens…?”
Nick – ‘I might be looking for a new job in 2016 and I hear you became President without being born in the USA, so I might give it a go. My Spanish is good so that will give me a head start.’
As your coalition partners we will help you overcome the legal challenge that you now face to your healthcare reforms .
Is the pasty shop this way?
“… and if I pull this wire he says “If we keep doing this we won’t have anything to bloody disagree on in the bloody TV debates.”
NC: “Hang the special relationship – how about a threesome?”
Sikh and ye shall find.
Next to other international leaders Nick looks a bit pasty. Obama asked: It’s Gregg Clegg, correct?
Barack Obama declined Nick Clegg’s challenge to a game of Scissors, Paper, Stone.
2012 Public Image Creativity Awards, World Division:
Judge Clegg was all set to hand the prize to Barack Obama’s subtly tapered mohawk when Judge Thorning-Schmidt locked eyes on a true revelation: Manmohan Singh and his patented bobble turban.
Nick Clegg: “Can we try and get through this without any photo-opportunities involving hot dogs, sausage rolls or pasties?”
Manmahan Singh: “Would you believe a samosa?”
Helle Thornig-Schmidt: ” Or a Danish pastry?”
Nick to Barack ” I’m only starting to realise after Bradford West that we WASP’s don’t rule the world”
Clegg: “Yankee scum, if you don’t stop chasing after our women from Europe, I’ll smash your face in!”
Manmohan Singh (quietly): “You need both your fists for this, you stupid third-rate street brawler. I’ll just bide my time for now, and then come in and clean up when the cameras have moved on.”
Clegg to Obama: …and allow me to introduce you to Neil Kinnock’s daughter-in-law.
True story.
