    Indeed, you gotta wonder about the thought process that leads up to plunging your (presumably co-operative) one-and-only bestest mate into a vacuum nozzle and then hitting the on button. I'll never know why women think they understand blokes.

    An A&E working relative informed me that still buzzing, firmly lodged vibros are another common cause of male embarrassment. How long do batteries last ffs

    My wife says it's orange and it's kept in the under stairs cupboard with the rest of the cleaning stuff.

    My one is dark blue and I discovered this very week that it doesn’t over heat and shut down as well as suck up more stuff you take the little bag out when it is full and put a new one in. I love it when I make discoveries like that.

    However, I would far rather have someone who knows what they are doing handling all the cleaning.

    Our vacuum cleaner is yellow which is the reason why Mrs Gonzo won't do the cleaning (or so she says).

    I do do much of the cleaning (if I left it to the missus the house would resemble Dracula's cess pit) and have never noticed what colour the vaccuum cleaner is. Are there any anti-discrimination laws I should be aware of?

    I'm very sad really.
