Some of you may be aware that all our email addresses were high-jacked by spammers and they’ve been selling everything from sex tools to fake watches in our name. The authorities in their wisdom decided to close down our site without any investigation or consultation with us. We would like to apologise to all our friends on their behalf for causing you, no doubt, immense stress. However we are up and we will be publishing the semi-finalists of the BFSC and the qualifiers of BSSC before the end of the week.
