    Now you can spend all your free time on boards.ie protesting against the system - unpaid - and beating the drum that others should do the same, droning on about mental health instead of proving your worth and get yourself into a comfortable salary with a comfortable life. Well done you.

    That must be Nigel with the brie...


    Modern vacuum cleaners are pants, and prone to breaking down constantly, even the really pricy ones. An old upright from yesteryear with the bag down the back and the headlight on the front would still kick their asses.

    I had this argument with my wife who loves the Dyson. I got an old fashioned Miele with a bag and it's a serious workout to push it around on full power with the suction and will go for as long as I'm able to push it because it's plugged in! The Dyson works for 20 minutes on full power before it needs a recharge and cost twice the price. Also the suction is never as good but gets progressively worse as the filter and dirt collector fills up! It's grand for a quick clean up but not for a whole house clean.

    I have an old Miele that I bought around 2005 that's still going strong and on all the original parts. Fantastic thing!

    I do have a shark cordless that was a bargain alert here at one point that I use for quick runs around or in the car, but it's no comparison with the Miele.
