It Sucks...
Have you seen those ads for the new Dyson vacuum cleaner; you know the one with the ball for going around corners? Looks like that James Dyson fella has come up with another well engineered product. But I gotta say, in spite of being vastly technically superior, I actually don’t know anyone nor have I met anyone who owns a Dyson vacuum. Whereas I’ve know lots of people who own Henry the Vacuum. You know Henry, he’s the cute vacuum cleaner with the big eyes and his nose cleverly doubles up as the hose!
So are the fancy-schmancy Dyson vacuum cleaners are a classic example of over thinking? Mr. Dyson, you’ve wasted your life developing the “revolutionary” Cyclone system. All you really needed to do was print some cutesy eyes on a standard hoover and make it available in 3 different colours. We love you Henry!

It’s called Google Killer View™ and is due for release this summer...
Google Street View car runs down deer - the shadow of the camera-mounted car is visible on the road.

Good Luck Lads...
It’s almost upon us. The Six Nations Grand Slam is just 80 minutes of rugby away. Ireland have been lucky to come this far in the championship without picking up any injuries, so the only ailment that can affect us now is the remote chance of all out kidney failure...
