El Reg (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/09/18/telecity_disconnection_farce/) is reporting a major outage affecting several ISPs last night.
"A hamfisted worker at colo provider Telecity shut down "several" ISPs and their customers across the country when he started pulling plugs at one of its datacentres late last night.
The hapless wire-scrapper then proceeded to make matters worse, by trying to fix the mess himself."
I wonder where he's working now?

There is also this (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/09/18/tax_office_blooper_shocks_norway/) from Norway !
"Norway's national tax office erroneously sent CD-ROMs crammed with the 2006 tax returns of nearly four million people living in Norway to national newspapers, radios and tv stations, news agency AFP reports."

BT ;D
:rofl:
Don't laugh... he was in the cabinet in your street this morning... ;)
Apparently he continued messing about with the patching after the equipment owner had banned him from touching anything else and said their own engineer was on the way.
I really hope he doesn't work there any more.
Did it affect us?
Cheers,
Paul.
No-one's reported any problems, Paul, so I think he missed us. :)
I think he most likely lives at No.10 Downing St - tears things apart and can't get them working again.
Satire, eh, Glenn. ;)
Did Pipex once employ this guy?
:rofl:
In the words of the Beatles, Not a second time. :)
