Nonetheless, the flat is clean.

Mostly.

Anyone got any tips on getting pine needles from under laptop keys?

Remove each key, dust the underside and replace. * Warning, you will most likely find many eyelashes and several crumbs etc. It will be disturbing but cleansing.

* Only to be done when extreme procrastination is required.

The keys on mine are sort of 'wedged on' and you can gently lever them off. (That's an iBook)

An alternative to thorough key removal is using the sticky bit of a post-it note to grab the stuff. A small bit of blu-tak might work to. *wonders if europeans have blu tak*

it really is the second most useful substance in the universe (gaffa tape being the first, obviously).

exactlyhalf reports that the arrow keys on his ibook were very hard to get back on, so maybe leave these in place.

Shake keyboard really hard, upside down?...no, that seems like bad advice.

Yeah, I'd be a shaker too. And maybe try vacuuming the keyboard whilst upside down being shaken. Just for a laugh.

But then I'm quite happy to take the keys off too, but do remember to lay them out in order, Ms Leaf.
