There in front of me

small and perfectly formed

looking at me

Daring me to consume.

I sink my teeth in

suck greedily

the juices flow

then squirt

and now I've got tomato seeds stuck between the keys on my keyboard.

Any idea how I get them out?

Buy an MX-5

Serious note: Turn the keyboard up-side-down and bang it on the desk, then look at all the disgusting things that have come out and sweep them onto the floor for the cleaner to clean up.

I'm going to experiment sticking a spare keyboard through the dishwasher, it's filthy as hell, and I reckon that if left to dry thoroughly should work, if not, what the hell smile

I rinsed a keyborad under a tap once thinking the same thing.

It breaks it.

I've done it before. Leave it in the airing cupboard for 2-3 weeks. Worked perfectly!

I stilt 3/4 of a pint over my new £40 logitech keyboard once frown I was trying to type on it and it kept putting random letters in no matter what I pressed - left it to dry out for a few hours good as new.

Prize off all of the keys.

Lay them to one side in a big jumble.

Clean keyboard underneath.

Put keys back.

But try to put back in correct order and placement.

Leave them...in a few weeks you'll have a lovely few tomato plants growing out of your keyboard.

Tomorrow spit a load of cress seeds all over your monitor.

Worryingly I probably could do that... sod it I have 15 minutes left before I finish work might give it a whirl.

Why?

The function of the key is displayed on the top of it. Press the letters displayed on said key for the corresponding component letters required by the word you want to type.

Cheeses Christ. Basic stuff there bob.
