This is how stupid I am....
*happily looking at things on IWOOT when suddenly the internet goes off*

*resets router*

*nothing*

*Housemate arrives back from work (who works in IT)*

me: The internet is broken :(
him: Have you tried turning it off and on again?
me: With the router yeah
him: What about the actual modem?
me: .. no
him: *looks under desk* It's off?
me: what?
him: You must have knocked the plug out the socket because it's not on
me: .... well that would explain why it's not working...

EDIT: TWW you are the second b3tan to try and get me to move to Scotland today!
