I are Back...

A month ago I posted about a personal issues that arose and that I would be leaving the community for a while, well I have managed to get through what has been the toughest month of my life and I am now back in the swing of things.
In a nutshell, I was forced to leave the United Kingdom and return to South Africa because of some actions performed by somebody and the end result was completely out of my control.
I am now back in South Africa, busy settling down and trying to get my life back in order. Hopefully I will be able to start getting back onto my projects and making an attempt to do what I really enjoy.
Thank you for all the well wishes and support ... but I are back.
Q
p.s. If you wondering about the bad English of my title and references here and there ... they are intentional.
EDIT: Okay it is starting to sound like I did something "dodgey" to be forced out the U.K. ... so I thought I should clarify. I was in the U.K. on a Settlement Visa that was linked to my Wife's British Passport. The day I posted the first message was 2 days after my Wife informed me she was leaving me for another man that she had met on-line. My Visa would have not been extended or renewed ... hence me having to leave.
Sorry for making this post ... it is not my intention to get any sympathy or anything ... I just needed to make clear that I didn't do anything illegal or "dodgey". :)

Ummm, "mate" is Australian - to sound South African, try "bru" or "chommie" (the choice depends on if you're from the east or west coast). Any expletive is fine inland :)
