Round two in our iPad comp was hotly contested with hundreds of votes cast as the top 20 funniest Captchas went head-to-head. Not everyone could go forward to round three though, and in fact we've lost Nims, Claire Lynch, Jaz, LuLuBabe, MsSittingatherdeskandpretendingtowork, Jessica, Bee, Pud, Deirdre Kirwan and Naois. Sorry to see you go, ladies, and thank you for being so darn funny in the first place.
Those who are going forward, plus their percentage of the vote from round #2 and their Captcha to refresh your mind, are below. Have a read through, and then give the one you like the most the vote. You could be making someone *very* happy this Christmas. And don't forget - the runner up gets a fab beauty bag.

T&Cs: the final 20 were picked because they tickled our funny bones the most. Our criteria was involuntary guffawing; these satisfied that criteria. Please feel very free to ask friends, family and the man on the street to come and vote for your entry. We use Polldaddy polling software to collect votes and it uses cookies so each person can vote once. We will know if there are any attempts made to spam the poll from a 3rd party source and that will mean immediate disqualification for any/all entries which have tried to rig the vote. The ten entries that performed most poorly in the poll will be discarded and will not go forward to round three. At the end of the elimination rounds, the person with the most votes will win the prize. They must be resident of Ireland, they must be signed up to our mailing list and they must satisfy all our other competition requirements as normal. In the event of the requirements not being met, the 2nd highest number of votes will win. The second prize in the competition is a beauty bag. Phew!
