nothing sucks like an Electrolux
Jan. 21st, 2010 03:35 pmPossibly the most boring LJ post I will ever write
You will remember that gerbils ate our Dyson?
They nibbled through the flex, right down to the core, when it was parked next to their cage over Christmas.
I discovered this a few weeks later *koff* and immediately stopped using it for fear of electrocution, or the house becoming clean. Something like that. Pointed it out to B, thinking that he would effect some sort of bodged home handyman repair, or at least ring up Dyson and complain that such a sucktastic triumph of engineering should last at least 20 years under warranty. Rodents or no rodents.
Anyway. He went out and bought a brand new one in the January sales.
*time passes*
*more time passes*
I used the new one today.
DUDE. DUUUUUUDE. OMFG YES YES YES YESSSSS *hoovers dust, straw, food, shoes, socks, mould, children, gerbils, Southern England*
*leers nearer the screen with Extending Wand (tm) *
MMMRRRR MRRRRR MRRRR THWOOOOOOOOOOPP...NNNNNGCLANGPTHHHT *hoovers you up and spits you out*
