Media Monkey caption competition: when Richard met Piers

Two big feral beasts of Fleet Street are reunited after a long absence in this exclusive Monkey image. That is Daily Mirror editor Richard Wallace on the left, posing with his predecessor Piers Morgan, who was unceremoniously dumped from the paper five years ago for getting it wrong over fake pictures of British soldiers abusing Iraqis. Morgan won a charity auction bid to spend a day "editing" the Mirror and returned to his old domain yesterday. Brian Reade, one of the Mirror journalists who served under Morgan, has interviewed the great man and as a spokesman for the paper said: "There will be an interview with TV's Piers Morgan in the Daily Mirror later this week." Monkey feels a caption competition coming on. Who do the gruesome twosome remind you of? Christopher Ecclestone dropping in on David Tennant on the set of Doctor Who? (They wish). More like Bet Lynch dropping in on Liz McDonald at the Rovers Return. Over to Monkey's body language expert, Jasper Clasper of the Healthy, Wealthy and Wise Holistic Centre. "It is all on display here - masculinity, friendship, happiness, affection, intimacy, awkwardness, informality and confidence. These feral beasts might look like pussy cats but seconds later they could be ripping each other's throats out!" Over to you, readers. Post your captions below. And yes, Richard and Piers, you are permitted to enter.
