Well yesterday
I dropped my work phone in some Yorkshire pudding batter!  :-[
Yes it was an accident! I was trying to do two things at once and talk on the phone while working on a machine in an commercial kitchen when it slipped from being cradled between my shoulder and head and with all the metres and metres of stainless steel worktop to fall on, it goes straight into the batter mix. I fished it out and it worked for an hour or so after I cleaned it up but has given up the ghost since - I wont get too much stick when I report that one on Monday :-[

   Is it completely "fritterd"?..... :2funny:

What a half baked answer! :o
And more, much more than this, I did it my way

  Mr Spinner. Over here in the UK it's twenty past midnight, Iv'e just got back from a 9 hour shift photographing local bands, I'm in the proccess of uploading, tagging and backing up the pics, whilst polishing of the very best part of a rather exelent bottle of shiraz. Under the circumstaces i feel my comment was the hight of hillarity!
                  I really must go to bed!

My mate Vinny and his two assistants will be on hand to ensure that decorum is maintained and any potential heart attack victims are 'dealt' with!  8)

One of Vinny's assistants in the advert, the dark haired one, has many strings to his bow. Between appearing on TV and the silver screen, he found time to plaster the ceiling of the kitchen extension my daughter had done recently! My son-in-law didn't haggle too much about the price. :o

That is funny, I got one today from your British Telecomm asking me to update my account details. I flagged it to Hotmail as a Phishing scam.
And more, much more than this, I did it my way

I visited Tate Britain on Thursday (the coffee is no longer free! :-[) and took a few pictures of an installation that took my eye.

Just been working on the pictures and realised I had forgotten the name of the artist that created it. So I rang up the information office of the gallery and explained what I wanted, since I couldn't see the artist's name on the Tate web site. "Hang on a minute mate" said the voice on the other end, "I'll see what I can find out". A couple of minutes passed so I coughed loudly as you do to let them know I was still hanging on, and he came back and said " I'm having to Google it as nobody here seems to know who it is that did it"!!!  :o :knuppel2:

It was a stair well over three floors painted in blocks of colour


There was one installation much more boring than a fire extinguisher, a 2 metre square picture by someone called Parr! :uglystupid2:
