The session is timed out on the eircom link, Do you have another way to get to that page?

Perhaps your phone line is a piece of ****? How far are you from the exchange? Are you sure there's not more than 1 exchange serving lucan?

I hope he doesn't ban me or anything but I think he got it wrong.

I hope Moriarty is wrong about the temporary upgrade, I'd hate to have to wait until the 4th.
