Bloody Hell Bryster!! I am doubly sorry to hear about your system crash, and also about your Mum-in-law! The ironic thing is that I almost asked for an extension myself! My band picked up several prime gigs on the Oregon coast and it caused me to run into a serious time crunch, wot with the lengthy travel time(also about 200 miles) and the fact that I didn't want to take my laptop due to security reasons.

A victory by forfeit is never as sweet, so any "crown" I would wear due to your concession would feel like papier mache. I feel that the only fair, sporting, and gentlemanly thing to do is to agree to an extension. We''ll resume the challenge when you are able, if you still wish to continue. Besides which, if you don't continue, I have this creepy feeling that either Brycetech or Frogdot will tap me on the shoulder, point toward their masterpiece version, and ask me if I'd like to abdicate.

I've really enjoyed doing the research on The Flying Scotsman, and I learned a great deal about the difference between British and American philosophies concerning railroad design and engineering. If you need any reference material to help re-coup your losses, let me know.
