I just hope nobody is planning to post the Kirby Songbook in video form, I found mine today hiding in a box, and some of the lyrics are so cringeworthy, I feel sorry for the poor sods who have to sing them at Kirby Church before going out for a day of selling........ :S

My Hoover Junior 1334, cos I've finally gotten round to listing it (and yes, I know the orange lightbulb on the end of the DC04's old power cable sat in the old fireplace is tacky, I just like the glow!!): http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230803478222

Jeeeeez, I thought the motors being packed with fluff and debris was bad, but that one has to be a record or something... :S At least they're pretty easy to strip & clean out though... :)

Once you get past the improper use of the Link box, you find three links to three pictures (I'm not uploading them myself, they're not mine!!): http://www.nowthatscookin.com/images/hoover-1.jpg http://www.nowthatscookin.com/images/hoover-2.jpg http://www.nowthatscookin.com/images/hoover-3.jpg...

"they are keeping the sentra" Erm, the (Nissan) Sentra is a car, the SentrIa is a Kirby... There may be no I in teamwork, but there's definitely an I in Sentria... :P

The next model is the one that will be released next... (I.E.Nobody knows, there's plenty speculation, but little fact)

Well, looks like the Tristar isn't getting a plaster dust test, cos the landlord managed to hire a very tidy plasterer, cos there's nothing to vacuum up after them... :&#92 Though, I do wonder who's vacuum he used... :S

"the Eureka-made TurboBrush PN" Errrm, not quite, Interstate made the TurboBrush, basing it heavily on the Eureka design (hence the compatibility of some of the moving parts, E.G. Motor, Belt, axle assembly, etc., but the rest being IEC's own in-house design), the older power nozzles used on...

Those premier vacs look like some sort of slow-cooker... :P

We're actually having some plaster work done tomorrow (not everyone's having a day off over the Jubilee weekend!!), only a small patch though where the walls have been absorbing water from an old internal wall that's now external (some builders have no understanding of waterproofing!!), I have...

A Sebo with some Blues & Twos, that'd be a sight... :P

I think all the F&G/E74 bags all look alike despite their origin, I think the only one that differs is one for another brand (can't recall which) that has a Polypropylene bag attached onto a paper tube, though from what I've been told about them, they're not particularly well-made so best...

Ours are used to the sound, but so long as they're in another room, cos I liked to chase them cos I'm just a git like that, so they just stay out of my way... :P

Our cats are well trained, as soon as a vacuum even moves they vanish... :P Especially the Tristar and Sanitaires... :P
