I have spoken to the poor soul. Like us other locked out Brits he wasn't able to break through the security (I suspect a Republican/Democrat plot but that's by the by). He managed to log on a few days ago but it was all very slow. I'm not sure if it is any better yet but his job is really busy, getting ready for the "holidays", so he says he daren't get sucked into the black hole which seems to happen to us once we start reading all those posts. I'll make sure he knows that you are all missing him.

Even stranger - where is Jackie?
