Ohhhhh
So the erratic and unseemly behaviour in my phone line is because they're trying to install an ADSL line in Toyone. If you think about it logically, that wouldn't actually explain anything, but it's what they've told me and there's very little to be gained from arguing with people in authority in Japan. They've completely broken my spirit
Anyway, you'd think an ADSL line would (eventually) be good news. If you think that, I refer you to go back and read about how often things have gone my way here.
To reinforce the point, I had to reconnect twice while writing these messages. Quite vexing.
