I’m suffering in solitude (well, that is except for my son, who I’m getting to go to the shop and so on).

Thansk for visiting the site, hope you’re better now, unfortunately with all the extra attention the sites recieved some sad individual has decided to hack it and basically completely knackered the site, and as its just a tongue in cheek thing I did as a joke in some spare time, I’ve lost the lot, hopefully will have something up there again soon.
