them ash vacs are a pain to put back together . the amount of them I see through out would amaze you. especially the aldi ones. people often give them to me to take away. I use them when cutting walls etc. the dust ruins vacuums .
the problem is usually the way the filter is fitted.
push the filter on , then slightly rotate it clockwise and push it on more. then put the lid that holds it on. there is a little switch in there to stop you running it with the filter not seated properly.
I have 'fixed' probably 30 of them for people. every one worked great until they went to empty it and then wouldn't work after that. its an easy 'fix' once you know what wrong

TA that I didn't know this before I dumped my ash vac and talked my father into dumping his!

Reworking old songs for adverts by slowing them down and having (usually) a female vocalist singing as though she really 'feels' the song and the heartache, even if the fecking song is head, shoulders, knees and toes..

Check out people who just can't e arsed, really puts me off going back to a shop.

Tisserand

TA'd with Flaky self obsessed people. People who ask me how I am and as I begin to answer they start talking over me telling me how they are.
I have a work colleague who does this all the time. She'll come over to my desk on Monday morning and lean in to me.
Her: Well , did you have a nice weekend, did you do anything nice.
Me: Yeah, on Saturday I went to..
She cuts in: Do you know where I went yesterday - then she's no longer leaning in to me, and she's standing up straight and trying to get the attention of everyone else in the room - to tell them what she did yesterday. Everyone else keeps the head down working away and I see the obvious disappointment on her face when nobody else is interested and she has to turn back to me and make do with only me listening to her (uninteresting) story.

Her: What time are you going to coffee
Me: 11.00
Her: Give me a shout when you're going down and I'll go with you

11.00: I look over at her desk, she's not there
I get the lift down to the canteen on the ground floor and I see her getting into the other lift going back up after having coffee with another group.

there are only 2 safe ways (killing her etc isn't really an option) of dealing with this.
1 as soon as she asks you cut straight in and ask about her day, she start telling you, start asking questions before she gets to say to full sentence. after a few times she will get the hump

2 over power her. you need to be brazen and have thick skin but plough on regardless of what she says. she asked about your week end , tell her. take a deep breath and don't come up for air . any pause is an opening to cut in.

Lorelli!

I'm way too attached to my handbag. Went out shopping today without one and didn't know what to do with my arms

Laois used to be spelled Leix. I don't know when it changed, will have to Google that!

Do that regular! It's horrible when you are predicting what's coming up and it's exactly right and you have no idea why.

I know said this a few times, but I want to say it again.
Why is it that if it's raining that the day in 'bad' or 'terrible' or 'awful'? I heard each of these yesterday. It's raining, so what, put on a jacket. I went out running in it yesterday and it was great, beat by best time, and I found 20 euro. But the amount of people I saw going around with miserable faces because of a bit of rain was unreal. Why are people so surprised by this weather?
Next rant, the inlaws came this morning for the breakfast, grand, no bother, good to see them. But, the mother in law, who thought the jam was lovely, started spooning it out of the jar into her mouth. I can't eat it now. Who fcuking does that? I've seen her do it with butter too, scoops out a bit of butter out of the tub to put on the spuds with fork that has been in her mouth.

Watching The Notebook and having a cry. I've never cried watching a film in my life, and I've seen The Notebook a good few times before!! TA'd at myself for being such a big girl, and for watching The Notebook.

I'm watching the X Factor and crying. Not sure if it's the hangover or PMS but I'm embarrassed for me.

Starving all day and nothing is filling me.
I was on the beer last night so that's probably partly to blame.
I had tea and toast this morning, followed by cocktail sausages that were on the go. Then I had a small bag of nuts, a Mr Kipling apple pie, a bag of crisps and now I'm having tea and biscuits and I want my dinner aswell and tomorrow's dinner.
