FPO 0 Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 couple of years back I had one of my annual upgrades, but being a skin flint put new phone in old phone case that didnt fit quite tight enough, Within the first week I was using it on the farm where I was milking flipped it closed just above the slurry slats - You guessed it down it went MT then spent rest of milking trying to call me from other end of the parlour whilst waving and laughing at me! apparently it was still ringing! Replaced it with a cheapy from ebay after buying new sim with my old number on it only to put that phone in the top pocket of my overalls without zipping pocket up, when to bathroom pulled up the overalls and out flipped the phone, straight down the toilet! 2 phones in under 2 weeks, needless to say it didnt recover. had more luck since however MT and me always keep one of last years phones back from ebay just in case!! All the best bill - sounds like it might be next stop ebay! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Miffy77 0 Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 sorry to hear that bill, but it is only a phone and not the end of the world lol, could of been worse you could have put it in yourself lol, by the way what temperature was the washing machine on and what powder was your wife using? oh and also was your phone a soappy ericsson? chris. Never dropped the phone in water ,but have lost it on a shit pile on a farm ,found it and don't know wether it was in me head or not ,but it stank !!!!! eventually got a new and binned the old!!!!!!!

Guest curtislj Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Walked the hounds out this morning.Put my phone in my slighty ripped pocket on my kennel coat, because i had biscuits in the other.Without realising it I threw a biscuit and my phone fell out only to be picked up by one of my bitches. I thought she was chewing a bone until I knocked her off.One very DEAD phone in bits!!I think she was trying to dial out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
