Default did anyone see the van in the middle of the thames this morn

up by putney bridge?
i got a picture of it because one of the guys recovered it, but how do i get it from my phone to the computer when i don't have a lead to do it?
and it's pay as you go so no way to get it interneted or whatever it is
and no blue tooth on the computer either

customary here

it's a cracking picture though

cheers for teh replies guys, i've tried to send it to my mate, who's got it, but then he told me he woldn't be able to email it to me (insert here)

i've found the camera, but it's at home
so now pics until probably 2 hours yet, but it's of the van flaoting in themiddle of teh thames with it's arse in the air
the recovery guy collected it and now the hire company want to get it fixed but it's so fucked it's unrepairable (54 plate sprinter chiller)

it was parked on the dockside and when the tide came in it just floated away, seeing as the back was air tight and all, the police opened the rear doors and towed it back to shore again

i can't get it off the phone

it's too big to multimessage

it won't work in the camera as the card will have to be formatted first

i can bluetooth it across, but no one i can bluetooth it to has email access

i'm going to try and see if i can get my brother to do his geek thing and get it to work
otherwise, this will have to find a way to get itself across next weekend when the only person i know will do it for me

and because it's a nokia 6230 and not a nokia 6230i, i can't get the cable to do the downloading of it either

it was parked on an embankment at low tide, just west of putney bridge
the tide came in
the van got caught up
it floated away
because it's a regrigerated van, the back is sealed air tight, so that is what bouyed it up at the back
the rental company has asked for it to be fixed but 2 hours worth of sitting in the river and the tow back to the garage has meant that it's wet beyond belief, the seats are moudly, all the insides have rippled, the rear, where some water got in, has a stench beyond comparrison

oh well
