Lady Ferguson Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Writing off my mobile by leaving it in the pocket of my work trousers and putting them in the washing machine not realising. More money down the drain, I'm such a careless idiot! Try putting it somewhere warm (airing cupboard etc)... my Nokia went through the washing and I dropped it down the loo in Weatherspoons and it survived Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted February 2, 2011 Author Share Posted February 2, 2011 Chris do what Mandy said. My Nokia went in a bucket of dairy line cleaner. A couple of days disassembled in the airing cupboard and voila, back to fully operational again Annoyed at myself today though. Went to bed an hour early, missed my alarms at 4am waking and two hours late Feel great though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might only be Nokias of course that can put up with a dunking and drying out experience... don't think I'll try it with my new Blackberry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMB Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Interesting! It's drying in the airing cupboard at the moment, but I might just try your "rice bath" if it doesn't work.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMB Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Myself, again. I think I may have dropped my glasses into a big recycling bin/crusher while unloading greenery into it Not 100% certain though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 At work today I was hiding columns on some excel files and I inadvertantly hit a hide a window or file icon and started getting strange window security messages about enabling and disabling. Neither worked and I was hopping mad. I tried someone in It to have a quick look but they are not supposed to since we have to go through a call centre in India and they cannot even pronounce my surname > Anyway before the chap in Aberdeen came over I was able to work it out and discover what I had done. I have never done that before in excel but heck I have learned once again from my mistakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav836 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 My boss, in times when people are jumping on the band wagon about spraying he's been out applying liquid fertiliser in winds gusting at 50-60mph, yes you can put it on in a little wind but this is beyond a joke and asking for trouble in my opinion. Also the furrow press (aka spawn of satan), its currently dumped three quarters of the way across a field where I got so annoyed with it I wouldn't use it on the rest of the field, its 30+ years old and completely knackered but they won't replace it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
