The Pryordurkin effect paid me a visit today while I was washing up some dishes after lunch.   I remember I had put my phone on the kitchen window so it was nearby, as I was expecting several calls.  After I had lifted the dishes out, I went to pick up the tea towel which for some reason I had laid on top of the phone.

Plop.

I watched in slow motion, my telephone sinking to the bottom of the sink, which was full of dirty greasy water, fairy washing up liquid and just a dash of bleach.  I should add the water was also scalding hot, so retrieving said phone was not the greatest fun either.

Having finally scooped the phone out I could see the screen slowly fading away.  I immediately took the battery out and left it to dry.

Despite several hours drying later, I am sad to say my trusted friend has suffered serious brain (chip) damage.  The only thing to do, is put her to sleep.

I then sheepishly rang Orange and explained the evil nature of the Pryordurkin effect.  Thankfully, they have now arranged to courier a replacement phone to my place of work tomorrow.
