in loving memory of

...my favourite microwave.

it lived a long and prosperous life. from 1992-2004 it heated up some fantastic food.

however, nothing can match the awesome power of my dad's cleaning abilities. he killed the oven and the hob in a previous cleaning exercise, then microwave suffered the same fate earlier today. the poor thing died a long painful death as it counted down the final few minutes on its led display. sparks flew out the back and the occasional flame poked its ugly head around the corner before the microwave switched off for good.

i shall miss you old friend.
