New Banner!
We have to thank the team at Neil Castle for their wonderful new banner. It's the first unashamedly personal banner we've had for a while and it's nice to be able to support the indies out there. Thank you Neil, it reminds us of something, but we can't quite put our finger on it. You …

The latest incarnation …
