Unfortunately.. This is due to the keeper of the servers issuing a remote reboot command that happened to be a remote shutdown command. The command was issued remotely and said keeper is too remote to switch them back on until Monday morning...
Said keeper says b****ks and his face looks like this:
I'll be putting up temporary engineering pages in a moment...

Hi Jim
Cannot get the staff these days.
A competent engineer would have kept a straight face and told you that in view of the distances involved it was going to be a long slow reboot taking around 48hrs.

Ahh, now that's good thinking John

I'll remember that one...
It won't happen again as the servers in question are not a million miles from me and said keeper now thinks it would be an excellent idea if I had a set of keys to where they live

I'll quote your post onto the CCC Forum Jim, just to get the word out - can't have the FCFers and BXCers going cold turkey and not knowing why...

Oh gawd. That's worrying and serious.... He'll be suffering innuendo loss for one thing...

You can look and search but please don't post as you may not get a reply...
