Short Circuit

I couldn't get my internet connection to work this evening, the wifi was fine but the wired connection to my desktop just wouldn't play.

After rooting around a bit I noticed the homeplug wasn't lighting up at the receiving end so I took it to another socket to check it was working & it set on fire. Gave me a bit of a fright, got it disconnected and put out but it did make me think about what would have happened if it had set alight when I was away - gulp
