Mine has not done badly. I dropped it in a cattle shed the other day. It's waterproof so I was able to run it under the tap.

Joke for you all:

Farm girl goes off to university, makes friends with city girls and tries to ape their sophisticated ways.

Comes back home for Christmas, and says to her mother, "can you not get Father to say 'manure' instead of 'dung'?" Her mother replies, "it's taken thirty years of married life to get him to say dung!"

At least you didn't drop your hearing aid in the dog pound.

Would put you right off maltesers for life, I reckon.

BTW There is nothing sophisticated about renaming s*it as manure. It's just a word.

That's cheap compared to what most school kids have. On the plus side it's an android not an iPhone. It's also second hand.

Don't many supply a handle for the grill pan which would prevent the door closing anyway?

No wonder they all carry knives, so they don't get mugged.

on ours, the grill handle is detatchable.

All of them? I spent a lot of time this week working in a primary school. I did not see any knives, although I accidentally belted one of them in the face.

AIUI dung is from herbivores and manure is a mixture of dung and straw/hay etc. That's what it was on the farms where I've worked, but that was about

50 years ago!

At last. Someone who knows his s*it.

Detachable handle. Our electric oven specifies door closed when grill on.

Nice one! One would have thought Dave "Mr old cars" pillowman would have known that! How embarrassing :-)

Sshh! That was supposed to be Adam's surprise...

The plural is slightly disconcerting...

I gave up on Sony mobiles shortly after Ericsson left. IMHO Sony have lost the mobile plot ever since.

Indeed! It wouldn't do to get blinded by one (or more)...
