My new Shark cordless vacuum.

It does do the vacumming ok, but the fecking battery will only last long enough to do the most frequented parts of Chez Gremlin before showing as '0%' and shutting down.

Reading their website it reckons an hour's worth of cleaning. An hour, my fecking arse. I feel a strongly-worded email to their customer service dept. is in order. :angry-argument:

First the Sonos...now the feckin' ' Oover...

It has led headlights, an lcd display and does this really cool articulated handle thing for under-furniture vacuuming. 8-)

Sounds like the one we had, that clever hinge bit fell to bits after 3 months. Got a more basic model that just can not handle Malinois hair.

Why do drunk blokes get so offended when a sober girl turns down an offer?! (TBF he seemed miffed more than offended - till he left without saying good bye to anyone!!)

I mean, after so many years of working in bars I’m used to drunk blokes suggesting I would like to shag them but never making a sober offer. So I’ve always assumed that, cos I’m not exactly skinny, when they’re drunk they assume I must be ‘grateful’ for an offer 🤣🤣

And this is a guy that had also told me earlier that a ‘girl he’s sort of seeing’ is coming to visit him here next weekend 🤣🤣🤣

Oh well 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Whilst washing the ZH2, my Snow foam pressure spray bottle has just catastrophically failed resulting in the plunger being ejected with considerable force into my lower jaw and I'm now bleeding profusely from inside and outside my lower lip.😡

Ow! :shock: I imagine some words were spoken that might be applicable in the words thread. Any personal injuries lawyers on here? Got to be worth a few bob that one. :thumbup:

The attitude of some people

" Hi, all checked out; All cleaned, dishwasher left running with some plates so you'll need to empty it...... "

Ohh, not, "would you mind emptying it for us, I know it's the very first thing on the list of things we must do in order to get our deposit back........"

same woman that earlier in the week said

" our hot water isn't working and I think it's perfectly reasonable to expect to have hot water in our cabin and I don't see why we should have to use the campsite ones "

This was the initial message. No one has suggested that they should be OK with no hot water, no one has suggested they use the campsite showers.

I asked a girl out once and got knocked back, she was a bigger girl and I heard later she assumed I was doing it for a dare, by the time she found out the truth I had already started seeing someone else. Looking back, the idea of asking someone out would terrify me now, I simply couldn't do it now, drunk or sober.

It does not boil my piss but i just cant understand why this fucking arsehole would do this. Bad enough the pavement is blocked but the back end was stuck out that far he may as well have double parked. Good five minutes sorting out his parcels then left it like this when delivering a few. He left the engine running as well and now i am wishing i went down and checked his keys into the neighbours long grass or down the drain. Well done Amazon.
