    Anyone come across those vac cleaners that you stand in the middle of the room and they ionise the air (or something) and attract all the dirt to them. Probably a spin-off from powder coat technology.

  11. A mate of mine was a trainee salesman for Kirby and he asked my mum if he do his demo to practice. He came round with all the attachments, one of which was a carpet knapper...basically a stiff roller brush that gripped the carpet and reinstated the knap in one direction (greta for all you OCDers out there:thumbsup:)
    Anyway, he was going on about how strong this knapper thing was and switched it on, without holding onto the handle. This 20kg beast of a machine flew across the dining room, pulling the plug out of the wall socket, and smashed into a court cupboard some 10 feet away. It must've been travelling at about 5 mph before the crash...it left a huge Kiby-shaped dent in the valance, which is there to this day...needless to say, mum didn't buy one:lol:
    and he now works as a hospital porter...

    Big fan of Dyson but he let the side down a bit when the box for that Hoover says as it it carbon brushless, it has zero carbon emmisions.

    Cheeky bar stewards.

    NO NO NO

    If something has been invented it can NOT be reinvented, improved maybe.
