h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Am I alone in finding the sound of a hoover somewhat relaxing? When someone is hoovering and they switch it off I find myself 'craving' the sound for a few minutes. The same applies to hairdryers.

Oh come on H2, I can't be the only hoover fetishist here?

I was expecting someone else to have made the obvious comment by now.

Also, it was still daylight when you first posted. It is now dark......I must get my vacuum cleaner out...

Well, its strange you should mention that... But I find hoovers... well, mildly erotic....

Well, I particularly don’t like the sound of vacuum cleaners, but I suppose that depends on the brand. Mine makes a pretty shrill noise, that’s disgusting.
I wouldn’t call it a fetish, but I have a similar affection with the noise of my fridge. My flat is rather small, that’s why I hear the fridge when lying in bed. And every night I’m lying there waiting for the fridge to start cooling down. This process makes this comforting noise that makes me fall asleep within a minute.

*waiting for some nasty replies from 2legs and RF*

Well, of course, I only used the word 'fetish' to make sure people would read the thread.

I've heard that switching on the hoover (er vacuum cleaner) is a sure fire way to stop a baby crying (either that or you can't hear them) so there must be something in it?


Reminds me of the great Alias Smith and Jones sketch where a couple are woken by their crying baby. The wife says "it's your turn tonight" and Mel Smith gets up and shuts the bedroom door.

Very understandible; with a lot of the newer hoover's, the casing chasi is spaced differently and teh motor doesn't have the same dynamic elipsoid construction, well, not exactly* the same as once it was, now, if you could get your hands on say, a 1950's hoover upright, the sound is entirely different, of course, teh bag construction was different in those days, and the matterial, affects the sound more than a few observes would credit it for... I know the 'fridge noise' thing well; I was in halls and had a fridge in my bedroom for most of the time (after having all* my food stolenn on the day I'd bought it one time, from teh communial fridge in shared kitchen), so the Fridge, was only literaturly four foot from teh end of the bed It became quite soothing after a while... of course, in halls they had a 'victor' and a 'henry' vacuum cleaners, quite high pitched noise they make really, not very erotic in the slightest...

Well, of course, I only used the word 'fetish' to make sure people would read the thread.<quote>

Anyways, I just wanted to make clear that I’m not in love with my fridge

We believe you, honest we do

i think it was alas smith and jones

what really is a hoover fetish? now i can understand that some people would enjoy sitting on the washer machine while a spin cycle is going on but really now people, whats really going on?
this is your world people, i'm just living in it.

Just zee noise it makes

And the fact that you can hoover at night...

RF

ok then i guess thats just something that i'm going to look into at another time. ok bye bye then

Redbones, if you want to find out more about hoovering at night, you might want to check out this thread: F19585?thread=143046&skip=0&show=20

Though, if you do go to read that thread, I'd take a good supply of painkillers, a lot of very* strong coffee and a good reserve supply of sanity.

And a shotgun!!!

A shotgun? Actually, if you can, I'd recomend taking a week or so off work, and use the first few days to read the thread, and teh rest of the week to try* to recover from reading the thread

I'm just wondering how long this thread can last before someone intones the most holy name...

What, nighthoover? To be honest, I really doubt weather anyone would have ordasity to mention the name of nighthoover in a thread such as this, by mentioning nighthoover the entire thread might change direction, ever so slightly, whereas, in teh abscence that is here at the current time, of mention of nighthoover, i rather like the thread on its own mnerrit, as a thread in which nighthoover has not as yet been mentioned, so no, I don't think its worth holding your breath in case someone is as stupid to mention the name of nighthoover...
