  Twenty tries to kick the news server may set you back a mere 5p ( it's
  the time it takes that's annoying ).  However, now for the first time
  I have found it to take also 5 login attempts.  This sets you back as
  much as 25p!

  In all fairness to Demon, I think it was announced the other day that
  a number of Energis lines had been hit by a freak swarm of the wrong
  type of electrons causing RFVPP ( Random Failures in Virtual Points of
  Presence ).
