Title: Does this really work ?
Post by: Miss Demeanour 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:

The THW dropped her iPhone into a canal (well akchewly she fell in holding it) I dried it out on a radiator overnight. Werked perfick the next day. Best is you take out the sim and battery and dry them by hand tho'  :thumbsup:

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.
