I have to admit this this probably the most stupid thing I have done in a long while. I am still questioning how possibly I could have let an event like this occur, but it happened and so I'm trying to deal with consequences. At this very moment my iPod is happily sunbathing by the radiator to try and clear up those fuzzy eyes it got when I decided to give it unsanitary swimming lessons at about 8.55am this morning.

The concoction of toilet water, bleach and bloo tablet clearly went straight to pod jr.'s head and the screen started to fade quite quickly. I am no microelectronics expert, but my estimation was that this is probably not a Good Thing.

Due to lectures I had to abandon my soppy MP3 player for a couple of hours, but on my return it was still looking decidedly shocked and a bit dopey. I therefore decided the only way to solve this problem would be to void all warranties and open the thing up for some low-tec surgery. Using a hair dryer at 2ft and on the lowest setting I went about trying to evaporate the lake that had appeared inside the casing and after 20 minutes satisfactorily had the thing back up and running. Only problem now is the condensation on the screen which I'm now trying to coax out with a few hours of gentle heating. According to various internet sites (from this search on Google), the microwave is surprisingly not a good solution. Infact I should have tried an internet search before opening the iPod itself, as there are many other muppets not dissimilar from me who found that a WC-friendly pod can be treated without taking off any of it's clothes. I hope this doesn't have any long term social, psychological and certainly economic implications, because I'll be well annoyed if it packs up after the 30-day guarantee expires.

Aside from portable music issues, I had quite a good lecture this morning about lingerie/bras, which strangely is not a particularly regular occurrence, possibly producing some of the best quotes of the week,

"...everybody likes it when it sucks better..."
(Guest lecturer on vacuum cleaners)

Lecturer to Guest Lecturer: "You weren't a bra expert before were you?"
Guest Lecturer: "No, but you can find it all on the internet"

Student "How big are your... err... How do you handle your... err... logistics?"
