Our DSL is currently down.
Housemate (who has been here for aaages, who has C++ proficiency as an item on her CV and who, unlike me, is standing in the same room as the router): "Pharti, is the internet back up yet?"
"I dunno, check the router."
"Oh. Err, yes I think it's back up"
"Well, is the 'internet' light on or off?"
[checks again] "No, it's off"
"Well the internet's still down then."
"Oh, I was looking at the 'Wireless' light"
Engage brain, please?
