It's been a fair while since I last posted anything on here, there are multiple reasons for this, so while I'm sat on a 6 hour train journey I thought I may as well write something as I can't do anything else. I've been mega busy with things at work recently with a few projects that were coming to a close, I've also been rebuilding this site from the ground up with a new design and feature set. The new site is nowhere near finished yet due to again lack of time to work on it but it should be...
