Caption Comp

I don't know much about this picture except that it seems to be begging to have a caption competition about it.  And here at Troppo, we're never afraid of a challenge. Nothing is too serious to trivialise. So please supply us with a caption.  The winner of the comp will be flown to pick up the Troppo Mercedes Sports which has been garaged in Paris where it has been a stunt double in a movie about Princess Di.

    I'm from the Australian delegation. I'll just pop this on, but next time can we do it properly. It's supposed to be made of iron and have a slit in so I can see who I'm shooting at.

    Mere moments before .... "Berlusconi just touched me, quick, get me a bucket I'm going to be sick"

    Look I know we have expanded the membership but these key parties are getting out of control.

    The BBC article it was from already suggested a possibility:

    "Competition Commissioner Neelie Kroes looking for her department's policy on containing leaks".

    Kroes is not French, and is well to the right of the European spectrum. Apart from that RebeccaG's entry is quite good.

    Not Spanish. The French reference is to everyone else who seems to think that Europeans are all French.

    Mr Bucket would come to regret doing publicity for the European Union.

    Quick! The Germans are coming! Do we have any umlauts left?

    The bucket is inspected just moments before the kicking ceremony that marked the end of the Euro.
