          Those cables are out again. This time three out of four lines are out.

          Repair unlikely before 31 December.

            In a statement released in relation to one of the breaks, France Telecom said: "The causes of the cut, which is located in the Mediterranean between Sicily and Tunisia, on sections linking Sicily to Egypt, remain unclear."
            I wonder if any Russian subs have been spotted in the area.

                  From his posts I believe that Diver is a salvage bloke, that doesn't preclude him turning his hand to demolitions I suppose
