GROAN



Red Setter?
o-o-o

Sofa and no further?
o-o-o

I know they've cancelled half the bus
services, but this is ridiculous.
o-o-o


No? Not funny?
Very well, but I can't think of anything else
except

'this is where you catch the couch to Chesterfield'!

    Oh, Friko! You ARE good! I loved each and every one of your oh so witty captions :)
    I hope you're having a good day!

    tee hee ... Well done Friko! You've made me smile on this early Monday morning. ... red setter!

    If you sit on that chesterfield (Americans probably won't know what that is btw)you might get the word of my word verification:
    "gonrea" ... my feeble attempt at humour ... groan ...

    I had heard of a chesterfield, but until now I don't think I new what one is. Love your captions, especially the second one, made me laugh... :-)

    Thanks so much for the chuckles. I was wondering if the couch was where you sit to wait for divan that takes you to Chesterfield.

    What a great smile to start my day. Now I'll be keeping my eye out here in the U.S. for the couch to Davenport.

    The sofa looks like it ought to be on one of those Peter Cooke and Dudley Moore sketches. The two of them sitting and observing the world drift by.

    Liked your play on words.

    I love your take on it . You can always come up with just the right one-liner .
    But , to me , what's truly extraordinary about this photo is , not the sofa on the side of the road , but the complete lack of grafitti .
    Mind you , that might just be a reflection of the difference between where we live , you and I !

    Wonderful, Friko! We always said "chesterfield" when I was young. Now I say "couch" so "the couch to Chesterfield" is perfect! I like the others also.

    Hi Friko, I was here earlier and thought I left a message but, I don't see it. Am I growing absent minded?

    I wish we had red sofas at every bus stop but they would have to be in shelters.

    Clever phases from an imaginative soul. Dianne

    Dear Friko.
    These witty captions made me laugh--the sofa so small, the imagination so large.

    Peace.

    The Lizard Lounge? Nah, that's not even close to your 2nd caption ...

    Great photo AND great captions - a rare combination (just don't tell any of the photo bloggers I read ...)

    No, no Friko. You've got it all wrong. This red couch in the red light district is obviously for Street Sitters as opposed to Street Walkers. Drive-up service. Just another sign of how lazy we've all become.
