5th October 2005: A few people have written to me asking why the site hasn't been updated for so long, this is mainly down to my own life, studying and so on. This site started out as just a single page, I never thought for a second that it would become a site that contained several hundred pages. When I was building the site I had more than enough time to do so, which in turn allowed me to make it as pleasing as possible both visually and written. As spare time at the moment is a little rare, I don't want to do things in a rushed or sub-standard way and start ruining a labour of love. I can't express enough how pleasing it is to receive mail from people complimenting the site and saying such kind words, makes every second spent working on it more than worthwhile. A huge thank you to anyone and everyone who has visited and promoted this site in some form or another.
