Yes, turning it on when wet can cause a short. I've put my usb key through the wash a couple of times and once through the dryer, and it survived. But it is scarcely as delicate as a cell phone - sorry mobile phone.

is it best to leave it in the rice for 24hrs or would 48 be better?

24 hrs should be enough but there were a lot of preliminary steps as well - e.g remove battery and battery cover, remove sim card, etc. etc.. See http://www.wikihow.com/Save-a-Wet-Cell-Phone" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Rice is the last step....

Unfortunately I have to announce the probable demise of the giant Spider from Mars that had take up residence with us. The wife saw it crouched up in a corner near the ceiling , shrieked then grabbed the hoover and, before I could say "leave the little blighter alone", it was gone. I grabbed the hoover nipped into the back garden and emptied the bag out quickly but didn't see it. I'm thinking of reporting her to the R.S.P.C.S.

Good for her.

Tonight we are invaded by the flying spiders (daddy-long-legs) ... I'm taking them down one by one, but it's a long job.

They are rather too broken to do that I'm afraid.

It could get you arrested?

I'll second the good for her, I am trying to get an agreement with spiders, they can come in if needs be but must never be seen, once spotted they are on death row.

Better half is terrified on them, we even have those electrical plug in jobbies to keep them out but some are clearly deaf and still come in

Twitter.

Not Twitter itself, but the obsession the media have with it. Newsnight did a fifteen minute piece on Breaking Bad the other day; the first half was on location in Albequerque talking to residents about how good it is, and the second half entirely about how word has spread through Twitter and Facebook and Netflix. Talking about the f*cking thing you dicks! Every pissing news article is a self-referential meta-report on how the reports have been reported on 'Social Media' instead of the actual news!

MotD just did a poll on which Manchester team would finish higher. Who gives a f*ck what randoms are 'voting' on 6 games in.

C*NTS!

Sunday morning, reading Saturday's match reports in the media. Hate em. Used to be such a pleasure.
