Eating my own dogfood

This is a phrase used by programmers to mean they are using their own software.  This _always_ causes improvements in the software, becaust it exposes the programmers to the things they have to go through in order to use it, driving them insane until they work out a way to improve it.

In this case, it refers to the fact that I just hoovered the living room for the first time in about a year.  Leading me to the following conclusions:
1) The hoover is a big pile of shit.  It's an upright, and the bristles on the bottom don't even spin!
2) Even with the nozzle attachment it's still pretty shit, and has about the same level of suction as my 80 year old grandmother.  Who is dead.
3) Even when cleaned as well as possible the carpets are pretty bad too.

Which has just lead me to buy an Electrolux Z7118 / Cycloniclite Cylinder Cleaner.  This has cleaned out most of my budget for this month, but it looks like a worthwhile hoover, and was half the price of a Dyson, so I'm not going to complain too much.

Carpets may have to wait a month or two...

You scored as agnosticism. You are an agnostic. Though it is generally taken that agnostics neither believe nor disbelieve in God, it is possible to be a theist or atheist in addition to an agnostic. Agnostics don't believe it is possible to prove the existence of God (nor lack thereof). Agnosticism is a philosophy that God's existence cannot be proven. Some say it is possible to be agnostic and follow a religion; however, one cannot be a devout believer if he or she does not truly believe. </td> Satanism 83% agnosticism 83% atheism 83% Buddhism 46% Paganism 33% Christianity 21% Judaism 8% Hinduism 8% Islam 8% Which religion is the right one for you?
