Recommended Posts

instead of starting a new topic this seems the most appropriate thread to put it in...

Im hoping somebody could tell me of any affordable ways to swim with dolphins as a present, would love to do it for

me mum, she's always loved the idea of swimming with dolphins but I no she never actually thought she would, so

I would love to make her dream into a reality.

Need to get a dyson vacuum cleaner but there sem to be so many hundreds of models I'm confused.

Initially interested in the cordless animalpro version but was worried about the 15minute autonomy - how long do you charge it for a piddling 15mins? If I go with a more traditional corded variety are they really worth the price.

Any Dyson owners please let me know.

Looks like it is generally frowned upon in the UK, a quick google comes up with mainly anti-swimming with dolphin websites and anti captivity.

A fairly balanced piece from the beeb, you may want to consider Dolphin watching as an alternative, probably cheaper and available in the UK.

I swam with dolphins in the Bahamas was a great experience. swam with sharks too - a good buzz.

I've swam with dolphins in Mexico and Cuba, absolutely amazing. You can see why it isn't done in the UK though

When I work in people's houses I always tidy up at night and borrow their vacuum cleaners. I've used a lot of Dysons and tbh, for the money, they aint all that.A lot of the cheaper copies are just as good.

There's one make that is about the same price as a Dyson that is a better all round machine. Two people I know have had one to replace their Dysons. Forgot what make it is though but think it begins with an S.

Somebody I know wants this My Sri Lanka dvd but I can't find it anywhere with region 2. This link is the only place I can find it but it says Region All. Does anybody know if this dvd will this work in the UK? Think it's from Australia.

I've got both the cordless handheld and DC33 upright, both in Animal versions to stay on top of the damn cat hair. I think they're ace.

It takes a couple of hours (I think) to fully charge the handheld which then lasts about 10 minutes. This is better than it sounds as you wouldn't try and vacuum your whole house with it, you'd just use it for little jobs like cleaning the car or if the damn cat lay on the bed and you couldn't be arsed to lug the big hoover upstairs. It's certainly powerful and pisses over other handhelds I've tried.

The upright is the second I've had (11years loyal service before the motor went up in smoke) and it's ace. Where a lot of folk go wrong with them is not cleaning the filters regularly, a job which is dead easy and takes a couple of minutes. If you don't do this they don't pack up, they just stop working very well. I've known people to write them off and chuck them away without trying this, the lazy shits. Only downside is my Missus wouldn't agree that they're 'lightweight' and thinks it's too heavy (although this could be a ruse to get out of the hoovering) and they're very expensive at the moment. I didn't pay anything like what they're asking now

Have had a couple of Dysons and always think they're over-rated. Much prefer my upright Vax machine that I have now (can't remember the model no but it's the version that is designed to pick up animal hair). The turbo vac tool works brilliantly too.

However I might give the Vax away - I won't be needing it much longer as I'm moving to a house that's got it's own central vacuum system. (Humblebrag) :whistle::cool:

I quite fancy one of those PS Vita's.

Anyone know if they are any good?

Important fact about Dyson... Once your vac is out of warranty, you ring them and for a fixed fee of £70 they do a repair. This might sound expensive, but for £70 they replaced the motor, the barrel, the hose, handle and motorhead thing, cable and plug. So about 80% of the vac and over £150 of parts, replaced at home. This was even on a Australia bought cleaner. Well impressed, and it is good as new. I think they call it a service.

Struggling to get one of these bloody onesies online to buy for her in doors.

Looks like i'm going to have to brave the town centre :cry:

There are loads in Primark. Why any grown up would want one though is beyond me.
