excuse any break in service…

… over the next few days I will be moving this site from its current host, to a new hosting company, Chicagowebs. Due to them being a US company and this being a .co.uk domain, I have the fun of trying to get Nominet to move the domain to a neutral tag… and I have excuse any break in service…
