otherwise it won't work...

Demon have a PoP of course...and even in Holland it workd out at

or do they have unmetered called in Holland? If so and we had
a direct line we could beg a Dutch Monger to call in and
set up ppp to their broadband or similar connection

anyway just having a common Lan may be fun

"site of the 2001 mini golf riot"

may not go down well either, i'm not curious how much of the hotel
we can take up

do we have enough airports to give us a private lan?

here.

I also believe others are flying on this flight, so it looks like we have
the official flight for London.pm ;-) and thanks to Jouke we can claim
