Popcorn Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Oh, I'll save my envy for something else now when I go round my friends houses who all have designer dysons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 (edited) I'll second that about Dysons being pants. The office is very different now, as Kate says, and it has had a paint job too. Here's one for you all, just sent to me by email: 'Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention fo arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body. Rather to skid in sideways with chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body thoroughly used up, worn out and screaming WOOO HOOO WHAT A RIDE!'

Sheilaz Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 I'll second that about Dysons being pants 'Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention fo arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body. Rather to skid in sideways with chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body thoroughly used up, worn out and screaming WOOO HOOO WHAT A RIDE!' Love that, Clare, sums me up entirely! But I'll have to stick up for Dyson...mine's brilliant. Well, except LSH has broken it because he didn't read instructions (yes, really ) and therefore hates it. We decided the only way to stay married was to have separate vacuum cleaners, so he has a Henry! But I think Dyson is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Separate Vacuum cleaners. Now - there's an idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Where are all the Chickens????? ...It looks a lot tidier & neater than I imagined - obviously a womans touch there Tidy and Neat? - I think its looks like a disgraceful mess! Why aren't all the pieces of paper stacked neatly on the desk and placed perpendicuar to the edges ... and why all the bits of equiptment simply abondoned next to desks rather than placed neatly underneath them with the cables tidied neatly away .... and why ... must calm down ... must calm down .... Not that I'm obsessive compulsive about these things ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted November 1, 2005 Author Share Posted November 1, 2005 Ah - Red, now, I didn't say I thought it was tidy & neat. Just tidier & neater that I expected an office for 4 men to be And the womans touch - well theres a pot plant isn't there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Where DID that come from Kate? Is it one of the Boys' designs? Be worth a fortune on ebay in a few years time when they are all millionaires Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 I was just messing about on Google and found it completely by accident! Its in an article in This London 26 June 2003 - "Industrial design graduate James Tuthill has created something else for urban life - the Eglu, a portable chicken coop. A Royal College of Arts spokeswoman said: "It goes into a compact package, and you collect the eggs from a hatch at the back." http://www.thisislondon.com/news/articles/5499907?source=Evening%20Standard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-s Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Wheels on an Eglu What a good idea Now I don't use the Eglu run anymore it would be easier to move with wheels or even a handle to grab hold of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard and Jo Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 My wife just told me to look at this chat and I cant believe you are all talking about hoovers For the record though - Jo has an Electrolux bagless which is pretty good and I have a Henry for diy because I will "just make the hoover dirty" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard and Jo Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Kate - are you always on the forum??? Good work. Is it a wet vax? R of R and J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 You'd think I was, wouldn't you! I do try to have a life away from the forum - don't succeed very often though ! No, it's a lightweight upright vacuum, not a wet and dry. My Panasonic blew up spectacularly last month so we bought a cheapie instead .

Richard and Jo Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Its not cleaning up - its just that the hoover is the noisiest tool I have so I cant hear all the shouting about how long its taking and look at all the mess and why cant we get builders in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
