They did an excellent report on 'The Gadget Show' last year about what items survive a good dunking and what doesn't, how to maximise your chance of recovering a dunked electrical item and what not to do in case of an accident...


It was informative, interesting, useful



but sadly I have the memory of a goldfish.... which reminds me they did an excellent report on 'The Gadget Show' last year....


I had a friend who dropped her phone down the portaloo in a stables once, it hadn't been emptied for a fortnight and she managed to retrieve the phone, let it dry out and apart from the display not working again the phone was still capable of making and receiving calls... mind you she never answered it as it smelled so foul...


As for the top pocket syndrome, ladies it is a common problem for men, who bend over the toilet to pick the seat up and their phone drops out into the water below from their to pocket... biggest cause of mobile phone failure apparently and without sounding like a chauvinistic pig ? if the toilet seat was left up like it was designed to be, then men wouldn?t have to bend over to open it thus loosing their phones in the process?a simple but effective argument for not putting the seat down I think gentlemen?. ;-)



So Kel - does it work yet or have you given up and thrown it away... it's like loosing a best friend (with a memory for numbers) when your phone dies...

:( Still nothing

It's gives me false hope everytime it manages to switch on (and then turns off) *sighs*

Shouldve seen the I got from me mate when I produced an incredibly old looking beaten up fone as its temporary replacement :-$


LuvPeckham now as much as I wuvs ya (ssshhh don't go round telling everyone that) ur not much help is ya? :p

I, as it was a useless piece of crap, dug a hole in a nice quiet part of town and tried to bury it but it wouldnt stop ringing...

I dug it back up and tried to hide it in a dark place but it kept flashing at me...

I then tried leaving it somewhere far away but it came back to haunt me...

I removed the battery but it still insisted on having the alarm going off at random times...

I bought a new fone and tried to explain to it how a fone SHOULD behave but it just turned its back on me and turned itself off briefly before deciding to continuously vibrate and bounce across the floor...

Its turned into a devil mutant of a fone! Let it be a lesson to you all - keep phones and other electrical devices AWAY from baths/towels/KalamityKels!

    • Surprised at how many people take the 'oooh it's great it got approved, something is better than nothing' view. This is exactly Southwark council's approach, pandering to greedy developers for the absolute bare minimum of social and affordable housing. It's exactly why, under their leadership, only a fraction of social and affordable housing has been built in the borough - weirdly Mccash chose to highlight their own failures in his 'near unprecedented' (yet unbiased 😆) submission. All the objectors i have met support redevelopment, to benefit those in need of homes and the community - not change it forever. The council could and should be bolder, demand twice the social and affordable housing in these schemes, and not concede to 8 storeys of unneeded student bedsits. If it is a question of viability, publically disclose the business plan to prove how impossible it might be to turn a profit. Once the thing is built these sites can never be used for social or affordable housing. The council blows every opportunity, every time. Its pathetic. Developers admitted the scale was, in this instance, not required for viability. The student movements data seemed completely made up. The claim that 'students are taking up private rentals' was backed up with no data. There is empty student housing on denmark hill, needs to be fixed up but it's there already built. The council allows developers years to build cosy relationships with planners such that the final decision is a formality - substantiated objections are dismissed with wooly words and BS. Key meetings and consultations are scheduled deliberately to garner minimal engagement or objection. Local councillors, who we fund, ignore their constituents concerns. Those councillors that dare waiver in the predetermination are slapped down. Not very democratic. They've removed management and accountability by having no nomination agreement with any of the 'many london universities needing accommodation' - these direct lets MAKE MORE MONEY. A privately run firm will supposedly ensure everyone that those living there is actually a student and adheres to any conduct guidelines. There's no separation to residents - especially to ones on their own development. Could go on... We'll see how many of the 53 social/affordable units that we're all so happy to have approved actually get built.
