Yeah I have a Dyson and they aren't quite the same. Much less suction overall but the portability factor is good and being able to get into tight corners too.

I agree cordless vacs in general are pretty crap and don't have anywhere near the same suction power as corded ones - bit of a gimmick really.

 

Tbf to Shark though, we replaced out Dyson upright with a Shark upright (about £200) and the difference is night and day.

 

The Shark seems about three times as powerful and the suction is incredible. The only downside is that it's fvcking heavy and not quite as manouverable.

We love our Dyson cordless vacuum but all our floors are tiled, no idea how good it would be in a fully carpeted house.

This photo, congratulations to the lads and maybe this is a generational thing, but you’ve just won a trophy for your club, and the amount of players with their phones out - put them away and enjoy the moment with your mates.

Its not like no one will have a photo of the day for you.

I bought a cheap cordless one from B&M just to do the tiled rooms, absolutely great. As good as a Shark. But wouldn't trust it for the carpets. 

 

Incidentally, I walked past a bloke using his Dyson on his grass this afternoon. I'm hoping it was artificial stuff but, that's not normal, right?

Unfortunately this is the "selfie era" that we live in. People can barely put their phone down. Wouldn't be surprised if some played with phones in their pockets . They have to get the "insta" picture to their profile straight away and wait for the likes and comments to come in, instead of living for the moment.

These new plastic bottle screw caps attached to the bottle. 

 

They're a ball ache to screw back on, and on the small bottles of coke etc, just get in the way and poke you in the face when trying to drink from the bottle.

 

I just snap them off. They'll get recycled with the bottle once it's empty.

 

I can't imagine the cost of re-tooling a machine that makes the bottle caps to incorporate something that is pretty much unnecessary.

The trend in food gaffs/restaurants of naming menu items with some pop culture inflected, smart arse pun. Boils my piss.

People who wear excessive amounts of rings on their hands.

More than one on each hand. Otherwise you look ridiculous, especially if you are a bloke. 

 

Thumb rings are the biggest no-no. Put one of those on and you can get in the sea!

This and the trend of prices on menu's that are written without pound signs. I know it's in pounds and pence but it just seems so pretentious.

17 quid for a GLASS of wine?

 

I want to get off this planet.

[LiberalFox]

I assume it's because people are more likely to spend when they draw less attention to the price. 

 

 

[Free Falling Foxes]

Talking of prices: passing our local Tesco and I fancied a Turkish Delight. Not had one in ages and didn't even know if they still made them. Well they do, so picked one up. I only had quid on me so checked the price. The lable on the shelf stated:

Club Card price 80p.

Below that, in small print, it stated £1.37/100g.

The bar weighed 51g

No idea if the 100g price was a 'Clubcard' price however

No idea how much I would be charged as I don't have Club Card. So I threw myself at the mercy of the checkout girl, assuming a pound would be more than enough.

It was.
