Best of luck mate, now that you can devote all your time and effort to this new challenge i'm sure it will be a great success. I have to say to everyone who doesn't know what Mark has to offer, just check out his articles here at FC and you will soon realise his unique angle for what's on offer. These are just a few bases he has visited and will be visiting again in the future with his new venture.
