    Got out of bed at 06:00, grabbed the laundry baskets, made and drank my :java: Brushed teeth, had a shower, loaded the washing machine. "Odd." I thought. "That felt like there was a lump in that load." About to press "Start" when I thought I'd just check to be on the safe side. And found my phone in the washer ... :-O Don't think that would have helped it much, even with the antivirus liquid I wash Herself's clothes in (Old Folk Homes are breeding grounds for nasties like Norovirus, nearly as bad as Primary schools). Let's try being awake next time, eh Griff?

    How else do you expect to launder the BitCoin in your phone?

      Never washed my phone but I have washed a number of USB keys over the years. They all worked after the washing and drying.

        You know - that message started out by reminding me of the lyrics of a Beatles song. "Woke up. Got out of bed. Dragged a comb across my head. Made my way downstairs and drank a cup, and looking up I noticed I was late. Grabbed my coat, grabbed my had, made the bus in seconds flat." Not sure how it relates to drowned phones though. :-)

          A friend of my daughter pushed her in her swimming pool last week. Guess who is to buy a new smartphone ?

          Been there, done that. Happened to my boy on a newish smart phone that was being purchased through contract at the time. He had to suffer going back to the old 2G phone he was using for the next 9 months, until we got him a new one.
