Are we all aboard the good ship HMS Historical Competition - or are some of us waiting for the final bell to be struck at midnight?

I swallow my own words.. I tried to write something acceptable, but am not able to proceed further after 50 words... I give up.. Good Night guys.. I need rest 3... And good luck to those who are entering/have entered :)
