You know, this is a very good point
I'm in GMT (London), although at the moment i'm sleeping until quite late in the day (being a lazy git) so you should not have too much trouble, even if the thread is not closed strictly on the 3rd, just as long as by the time I get to it, it's closed, then i'll be a happy bunny.
I just hope that everyone taking part in this competition see's this message in time
