Not often enough probably Brisket And when you find out about the expressions, let me know

Occasional clean - makes it all the more special  

Yeah....the origins of meh?  

Hope it's going well brisket  

Often ,Cotton Bud dipped in Meth.
Like Baz said.

I'm fairly certain my toilet seat is cleaner than my keyboard, brisket.
As for weird expressions, I hate meh (although I have used it once), nom nom, going on a journey, finding closure, etc, etc.

I think my brother cleaned my keyboard over the summer.

Meh = I don't care
My bad = sorry it's my fault

I equate 'meh' with a shrug of the shoulders, a sort of 'so what' type of thing - only not so rude!. And my bad means my mistake, at least that's how I read it.



 Same here

Thanks for explanations.
I wonder how and when those expressions began?
(I don't understand "nom nom" either.)


Have you ever removed the keys from your keyboard to clean it?

you should have called the thread 'enquiries' (only joking Brisk)

nom nom I think means "delicious "

I think on an older keyboard my brother managed to prise the keys off... and put them back on again

It's quite easy to remove the keys - just a tad more difficult to remember where to replace them if you remove too many at once.

Take a picture of your keyboard on your mobile.

Or get the box your keyboard came in

I took a key off my daughter's laptop once. Never again. She has finally managed to put it back, but I am under strict orders not to repeat it.

I've never even considered doing that

It's easy to remove the inevitable crumbs by turning it upside down ands tapping it.

But I once removed some of the keys, and there was loads of fluff underneath.

Can of compressed air spray, people 

I tried it with a knife once when I still had my Buddy. The result was absolutely disgusting, I even contemplated dismantling the keyboard alltogether, but then my computer gave up it's ghost and I got a whole load of new stuff. Now I have a kitten which only just learnt not to step all over the keyboard, so I expect it's knife time again.

Mine needs a clean right NOW.
The O is sticking despite an attack with a cocktail stick.

I unscrew the electrical bit of my keyboard and wash it with the showerhead then dry upside down on a towel plus a bit of hairdyer action before putting it together again. I discovered this wU when my son emptied a bowl of soup on the keyboard. Disclaimer : This method is not suitable for laptops. As for the phrases, 'meh' always seems ignorant to me

Croc, how do you unscrew the electrical bit? It sounds a good way. I've just had a look and can't figure it out.

    Or I can't summon up any enthusiasm.
I use it but don't mean it to offend - more as a way of showing my apathy towards a situation or person.

If you unscrew the back of the keyboard the electrical bit is all there. You can then wash the key part which is where all the dust and dirt get.

I'm afraid my mobile doesn't take pictures erin.
But I have made a feeble effort with a rather poor, out-of-focus,out-of-date,  webcam.
So I'm afraid it reveals very little.

My bracelet got caught on my 'u' button and ripped it off. It wouldn't fix back on ..............I used one of those sticky bud thingies but TBH - it's a bit hit and miss!

Oooo that all sounds a bit daring for me Croc.
Also I have often been known to tamper too much and make matters worse. 
But thanks for the knowledge.

I clean my laptop screen/keyboard with a screen wipe every other day my keyboard never gets sticky or dirty I dont eat or drink whilst I am posting

My laptop is a bit sticky...

I blame the marmalade.

 Issy.....

I have just discovered what looks like a tomato seed stuck to the underside of my keyboard.
I have now developed a conscience and am trying to restore a pristine look.
**That's the trouble with cleaning - once you start.......**

I clean my monitor with a wipe and my lappy, my keyboard I use one of my daughters hairdressing brushes about once a week.

oooooh Issy

Brisket And is that your finger and thumb we can see?

 Dame..... *does she know*

Yes it is Baz 
Maybe I could become a hand model 

  and a very nice hand it is too Brisket

And the thumb is nicely lined up too

   It's partly to do with my dancing experience Baz.
I try to be careful where I place my thumb.
