AAAAAAAAH FUCK
Sweet Jesus I've just had the shock of my life - my kettle exploded before my very eyes.
OK I'm exaggerating, but it was still really scary!! I put it on to boil while I looked up photos from Abercrombie & Fitch catalogues (yum yum). For some reason it didn't stop boiling!! By the time I realised it was still on and looked at what was happening, there was steam literally pouring out of the spout and there was this really strong smell of electrical burning. I used my foot (clad in a thick-rubber-soled shoe from Asda - safe but relatively inexpensive to replace should the need have arisen) to kick the switch off then stood well back.
So I may have escaped this incident with my life but - what the hell am I gonna do without coffee?? My exams are in four days now!! BASTARD FUCKING KETTLE!!! AAARGH!!
