Its just because u've been away m8 and weren't contactable. I'm sure it will pick up again quickly as soon as people know ure back.

What were you doing taking a holiday anyway?!

Lee, I may have something (straightforward this time!) for you. Will let you know in a day or two.

I hear; I forget
I see; I remember
I do; and I understand.
