Does this really work ?
« on: January 03, 2012, 06:39:23 PM »
My cousin has accidentally dropped her blackberry phone in the toilet today . She is having a bad day  noooo:

Her friends are suggesting " put the b berry in a bag of rice and then in the airing cupboard..works a treat"  eeek:

We shall wait and see tomorrow .

I believe this to be futile but hey what do I know  noooo:

What for dropping it or for suggesting the solution ?

Twas a bloke that suggested the solution and it's not like you are not familiar with the odd accident or two  whistle:

Take the battery out and leave it long enough and it should work. I store my truffles in rice to stop them going off.

You make no mention of what you did with THW, is she still at the bottom of a canal somewhere?

I am having strange mental images of Beerhead detaching his truffles and poking them into a rice pudding.  It's not nice at all. noooo: sick2:

To resolve Miss C's worries I dried the THW and then took her to the surgery and had her injected against all the nasties she might have ingested along with several pints of canal water.  angel1

I wasn't there but I would imagine so.  ;)


I did ask, later, if they had needed to open the lock gates to replenish the water level.
