Advert for Dyson's smallest vacuum banned by watchdog

[mistermack]

I don't think Dysons are as great to own, as they would have you believe.
I've often thought that their ads were misleading. And I often look on freecycle, and there are always lots of dysons advertised free to collect. Either with faults, or sometimes without.

Vacs used to last twenty or thirty years. I don't think Dysons are in that bracket.

Incorrect! We've had ours for around 25 years!

Fuck ! You must have one of the first ones ever made. What on earth did you pay for it?
Wikipedia says that the first ones were made in Japan, and retailed for $2,000 !

Anyway, I was alluding to their recent stuff, which is knocked out cheap in Malasia.

My vacuum cleaner is named Maria, she costs 50 bucks a week. She's a multipurpose appliance. Vacuum, dishwasher, duster, washing machine, you name it. She's married to a lawn mower named Jesus.

My memory is that it was touted as being a new, breakthrough device at the time (maybe it was more like 20 than 25 years ago...). I remember it being pricier than other vacuum cleaners, but not totally over the top...

You might have had one of the first British-made ones then.

Anyway, it ought to last you years. I've heard you've only used it twice !!!

That's what gin does to you.

...to the grocery store where they buy 20-30 different kinds of vegetables so rare, expensive, and exotic they don't even have UPC codes and so price checks add 10 minutes to checkout. Then they pay with an EBT card.

I was just in the Fresh Foods store, which is like a Whole Foods only presumably fresher. Wooden floors, really skinny aisles, lots of crunchy hipsters and background jazz music. They had organic fair trade red bell peppers for $3.99 each. There's a whole collection of weird root vegetables from around the world, all of which look like an old pine branch and probably need slaking in lye to draw out the poison. Probably have some of that catshit coffee.

I really don't care what you want to eat, as long as I'm not behind you in the checkout line giving up minutes of my fkn life to support your hedonism, for free...


Big shout out to the troll genius with the stones to pimp monkeyshat coffee beans for $154/lb

Wonder what their kids are like? Are their hips OK?

I'll have you know that I vacuum the entire house every Saturday morning! And wash the floors!

I am to house cleaning what Mitchell Johnson is to fast bowling!

Ukraine = Egypt II, who cares, seen the movie and been there done that.

Nah - it's Syria II. Everyone can see what's going on but nobody dares intervene cos Russia says NO!

Why doesn't somebody lock up Putin's overseas bank accounts and bring that cunt to his knees?
