i've doen it before using a bank card to push the wires home.
it's easy as long as you have the wires in the right place, much like wireing a network parch panel or a network socket.

I've never tried the bank card approach but it does not hurt to go and buy a Krone IDC tool from Maplins or online.

just get a junction box ( or even some connector block ). Take off the master, extend the cable using the connector ( straight through ) and pop the box back on at the other end. ( i'd suggest you get an IDC tool, it makes it so much easier )
extensions can be easier and quicker but they are more costly and can get unsightly. Plus the more sockets you have the more phones you are tempted use and when you consider your line is most likely rated REM 3 ( which means 3 phones only or 2 phones and ADSL ) then you might degrade your line by loading it too much ( usually means the broadband disconnects when the phone rings )

She frightens me.
Also: never buy one of those green plastic heat-insulating mugs from somerfield because the lids don't screw on properly and you'll end up spilling piping hot tea all over the nice new jeans that I just got out of the tumble dryer five minutes ago.

Especially where that tall lump of Yiddishe goodness is concerned.

I am bored so I am about to watch one of the hugely expensive DVD painter masterclasses I have bought for my foray into proper portrait painting

Possibly the most pigshit-thick bastard I've ever come across.
Good salesman though. I'm assuming that was so people could get away from his snaggletoothed freaky head.
I do know a Steve from Sheffield though. I think you'd like him.

unfortunately not, I haven't seen him in a few years. Big rugby player. No neck. Silly ears. Absolute softy. (To explain the softiness, he called me 'petalkins' every day from the day we met.)
