BOLLOCKS

Ive just dropped my bloody phone in the toilet whilst cleaning it. Now its broken. Today is not going too well.

Some man from United Utilities came to change my meter this morning. (for those of you that dont know the electricity meter downstairs looks proper fooked. For the past 7 years it has looked like it will go up in smoke and I would die in my bed). Understandably worried by this I have had them out pure times to look at it. Some engineers were worried by it, some said it was fine, one bent one said he could sort it for £25. One said that the road outside would need to be dug up and as it would cost too much there was nothing to be done....

This mornings visits have been somewhat of a carry on. The first man looked at it, said it wasnt right so he rang a second man to come out,- Steve. Steve came 2 hours later (blagged some sugar sachets off me)and said that someone else would have to come out and fix it, said that it was dangerous and turned off my electricity. So I turned it back on, explaining that I wasnt going to wait 5 hours until he came back out again to fix it. So if the whole place goes up, Steve says its my fault.

Fingers crossed ey?

Phone ER boy to the rescue again. Provding the phone isn't awash with turds and other slurry all you'll need to do is dry it out and get a new battery. Off th'eBay. About 6 quid I'd guestimate.

All that's happened is the battery has shorted out, cos positive and negative have been bridged. Allegedly.

Either that or its proper fucked.
