Apparently - when he returned home and logged in to check his mail (or whatever) his internet connection seemed to be down. It quickly transpired that my failed arson attempt was to blame, as the duvet that had been left covering the router was lifted to reveal a hot, soft D-Link DSL-G624T and a large scorch mark on both the duvet and the chair beneath it. The router was hot, dead and my friend without internet access.
