Way Back Wednesday: Caption This! (23rd October 24)
Added 2024-10-23 15:35:33 +0000 UTC
Just for fun, it's time again for our new weekly caption competition.
Every Wednesday, we're dipping into the archives to share a photo of the team in action. This week, we've burrowed back further into the past.
Please share your most creative captions in the comments below, as always, keeping it clean and appropriate! Extra marks if you can name the dig this was from.
COMING SOON
We have lots of exciting Patreon exclusives on the way, including a very special follow-up on the dog tag discovered at this year's 'Digging Band of Brothers' excavation at Aldbourne, plus more insights from Norton Disney. Watch this space for further details.
I understand the hat but do I have to wear this silly tie?

Tony, I know you're proud of your pit but I said go down 12 inches, not 12 foot!

I know you think it was a stagmite but I think it was a turnip shaped like a thingy...or was it a thingy shaped like a T****P?

An annoyed Tony reacts as Tim admits trickery. 'Cheddar Gorge' is a place, not an 'All You Can Eat' Cheese Buffet.
Alan W McMillan
2024-10-23 18:39:07 +0000 UTC
What does the geophys say?
Alan Murdock

Tim to Phil, Tim to Phil,..I've got a Dalek up here wants to know if you've found anything yet?
Mark Lund
2024-10-23 18:13:18 +0000 UTC
Hey Tim, do you reckon you'll still be doing this in 30 yrs time? Yes Tony, I will...you bl**dy wont though!

“But Mick, this trench Minion claims the queen made his night!”

“Ohhhhh. So he’s Sir Minion. Thanks Mick.”

Tony’s seen the 'eating an invisible apple' trick before but it never fails to amuse him.

Hello control, Tony has just asked if the hazards of breaking wind in a rubber suit include the risk of floating? Over.

After over 1,000 explanations to Tony about archaeology, finally there was a light on.

Steve Mikre

Well Tony will do as “Happy”. Who shall we get as “Grumpy”?

Finally suitably dressed and practising for his panto performance, Tony asks where the cave is.
Phillip Nelson
2024-10-23 15:48:07 +0000 UTC
I'm not sure that is the best cunning idea Tony ...
Nigel Sadler

Playing in the mud is still fun!
Mary Campos
