Disaster for Lunt.
Picture the scene - me standing by the kettle this morning making a nice cup of tea with the bath running in the background and my phone resting on the side of the bath out of trouble. Then ‘ring, ring, buzz, buzz’ – the alarm that I had put on snooze went off and my phone started vibrating violently. Then, before I knew it, there was a splosh and the ‘ring, ring, buzz buzz’ continued but in a more stifled, submerged kind of way. Needless to say the phone appears knackered. Watch this space for a phone number request email if I have saved numbers to the phone instead of the SIM, which I think I have done.
In hindsight, resting it by the taps of a half full bath may not have been the finest decision I’ve ever made.
Happier times.

My word. The phone has come back to life, apart from a bit of a flickery screen. It wasn't working at all before. It's the greatest comeback since Lazarus.
And I had a pleasant e-chat with MM and OG last night on something I haven't used in a long long time - MSN Messenger. Search by email address hotstuff_luntino@yahoo.co.uk sports fans.
MSN Messenger to chat with your buddies? You'll be shoving that phone where the sun don't shine before long...
Nine blogs inbetween losing your phone and then drowning your phone.
Nine.
Or put another way, 2 months. And I wondered why they get away with charging so much for phone insurance.
Lunt, you should give up on phones and stick to something you're less likely to break. Like carrier pigeons or smoke signals.
That reminds me of something. Did I ever tell you about the time when I was young when my mate saw a pigeon with a little bit of its insides hanging out (following a fight with a cat probably) and decided to 'put it out of its misery' in a humane-ish fashion by clubbing it to death with a metal bar? The execution was a bit protracted and didn't go smoothly and you could see the displeasure on his face, but he felt he was doing the right thing. He wasn't particularly impressed to hear from his pigeon fancying neighbour that this kind of thing happens to his pigeons quite a lot and that it would have been fine. Bitterly disappointing....

if you can find some sort of way of sending short messages by waving your cock about, then you're laughing.
for what it's worth, i've heard stuff about fluid based electronics mishaps. Water is supposed to cause little damage 'cos it evaporates and leaves nothing behind - if it had been beer or coke or whatever you'd've been fucked because it would have left a sticky film behind.
aparently the best thing to do is to turn it off and wait for it to dry completely (like a day or so) - if its on and wet there may be short circuits and stuff. you should be ok, you big friend-of-a-pigeon-killing jessie.
oh, and the lyrics thing - do i get bonus points for giving two solutions:
- "hello hello i'm back again" by gary glitter
or
- "hello" by oasis
so there you have it. the singer of one is a misguided past-it rock dinosaur, who has always been a comic figure.
and the other likes to shag kids.
make of that what you will.
can i replace my hilarious joke at the end of the last comment with:
the singer of one is a commonly used synonym for arsehole.
and the other is gary glitter.
ithankyew.
