any one on here? 

Sam Watson (pictured above with his collection) said he used to enjoy watching his mother use a vacuum. For years he has been collecting them

I've just come to post this, it's live! It's everywhere too. Tonight will consist of a few beers and pasting my channel URL into all the comments boxes!

This really should have ended up in The Times, rather than the Daily Wail. Still, they keep telling me there's no such thing as bad publicity.

It goes where it's sold! It's on about 9 places so far. Was an agency that interviewed me, then they sell it to whoever and apparently I get a cut of any profits, will enquire about that next week... the link they gave me now has an expired domain error...

Nah, it'll go to the Kebab Appreciation Society club funds, if I even get that much

The Buick was put to work this week on firewood collection duties.

I'll be using it from now on for trailer duties, it's so much easier to reverse a trailer when you can see it. Trailer's usually hitched to my van which is a PITA

because by the time you see the trailer reacting in the mirrors it's usually too late to react.

Kimmi the Shepard is much excited because obviously all those big sticks are for her to chew...

Oooh there's a video too! Forgot we filmed that

Infact it was a shitty day, so I had my filming lights set up as their fucking bright and more energy efficient than the house ones... The photo bloke said it was the first time he's ever done this and had someone with some gear! We moved them about as he wanted. 

Not used to all this fame! I'm sure I'll handle it though...

This is going to sound like a joke but I swear it's true 

At a boot sale last weekend a woman had some pills for sale she said were headache tablets, she was about 75

I turned them over and they were viagra !

I had a bit of a chuckle then asked how much some vintage salter balance scales were 

She said , £10 , I don't use them because I don't understand how they work.

So , it is possible to get your brains shagged out.

Spent a pleasant few hours in the company of Autoshite royalty today, contrary to most people on here, he was really nice!  :)  So nice in fact he has volunteered to transport big wheels for small car to tyre place and then return the old ones. What a nice chap, Seems a shame to abuse the trust of one so young and niave :)  

Speaking of 'big wheels' had a panic: was checking them over and touching up little chips on the edges etc (because I am an arsehole) and noticed damage on the inside of the wheels, behind the spokes. No corresponding damage on the inside of the wheels and they roll straight and true, couldn't understand it, looks like light angle grinder damage. My thoughts ran instantly to the wheels had been bent and straightened, then brake calupers catching then abuse with the tyre changing machinem allsorts...

Finally twigged just now, it's where stick on wheel weights have been to balance the wheels that have been crudely removed. Panic over :)

You just popped up on my facebook feed from Unilad

Some of the comments are pretty interesting from one lady in particular..

I'm a bit worried by how attractive I think this guy is. ?
But I mean, even without the vacuum cleaner... he's a cutie! The affinity for vacuuming/fixing vacuums is a big plus too, of course, but... 
He actually resemblances Christian Bale quite a bit really. That’s probably it
 
Stalker in the making there mate.  :D ??
