Daughter moved out of her old flat today... My wife rented a Transit and promptly drive it into the edge of the roof of the house, putting a dent in the sliding side door!  Then I went to pack the case with the Makita screwdriver and bits in my car and put a scratch in the rear door.  Not our day!

Tassimo machine with Dairy Milk chocolate - the froth makes it taste a bit off. Nothing like spending well over the odds for that...

I suspect that's where the problem is.

The problem is, people seem to think the "right to be forgotten" removes the link from Google. It doesn't (or at least if Google are complying with the law, it doesn't), the link just doesn't appear when using the person's name. Any other keywords that would return the article should still return the article, as long as they aren't used in combination with the "forgotten" name.
If Google are really delisting the article completely, for all keywords, then they need a kick in the rear. But they don't like the idea of the right to be forgotten and they tried every trick they could to make it sound outrageous, whereas the law doesn't actually require Google to do half of what they were initially claiming they were being forced to do.

Erm haven't they got the charge time and run time round the wrong way? Usually it takes a fraction of the time to charge a device, compared to how long it runs. And 20 minutes? It takes about an hour to vacuum our house thoroughly...

I wish. I've never noticed that! The battery for the drone at work: 15 minutes run time. ~4hr charge time. The Canon LP-E6 battery: ~2.5hrs from flat, ~90mins videoing run time.

Someone I know has a little Dyson vacuum but it's a supplemental device for sucking up crumbs dropped in the sofa, etc. Then it gets put back on its wall mounted charging station. For that purpose I can see it being useful. As a replacement for a corded vacuum cleaner, no chance. They also seem to be on offer quite frequently for around half the RRP. That's £300 RRP is insane!

Okay, I'm used to my smartphone - 2 hours charge, 3 days runtime and my camera, a couple of hours to charge and weeks or months of use.
