This one's slowed down so much you could almost stand on the deck. I'll give you my perspective on the entries tonight.

With the greatest respect, Boris, we were rather hoping for challengers...

I'm soory Sir, this was all we could muster at short notice and we even had to drag the halftrack out of the Bovington Tank Museum.

I enjoyed the entries, as always. Mine might have been "I like the new platform. But does it have to have all those bits sticking up?"

All good things must come to an end, and:

The third runner up is FDR with :"With the greatest respect, Boris, we were rather hoping for challengers..." (I liked the titanic one as well.)
Second runner up is Nutloose with: "All lined up and ready for action, I would imagine this is how Napoleon felt at Waterloo chaps.. Err... he lost Sir!"
(I've always wondered if Waterloo explained the popular idea that all famous British battles were defeats.)
First runner up is Buster with another topical entry: "God McTavish! I jumped out of the tank because I thought I heard a drone & there was Churchill!"

But despite my weakness for puns, the one that made me laugh out loud was:

BPF with: Corporal Bloggin's last words as a Tank Commander. "Gunner Traverse Right"

Congratulations! The CapComp Trophy will be heading north shortly.

Right! That just means we're missing an Opera, then we're good to go Webber!
