MY Friend died today, gutted.

[Dave]

I was doing a re-grout and using the Fein and my henry hoover..

About half hr went by, solid grout raking and hoover sucking... i smelt a burning smell and thought hey up!.. and then all of a sudden my son jumps up as his bum was a bit warm.. Henry just about caught fire and was smoking more than Dan...

Bang!!!! he died..

Still smoking my son grabbed poor henry and ran downstairs to give him the kiss of life.. Too late Henry has passed away as of 3:36 pm today..


RIP Henry my Friend.. you will be missed..

[user123]

Blinking heck, Dave!!!! bad cat...

[Stewart]

Lol..... Always a sad time when you loose a close friend. Our deepest sympathies are with you and your son at this time with the sad loss of Henry.

On the upside.... It's a chance to buy some new gear....!

[Pebbs]

When Terry my TV died, I was heartbroken, he was a great mate, who saw me through many tough times. It took me two weeks before I let anyone take him down the council dump.

I feel your loss Dave!

I still have my 'enry in the garage, the bearings have gone, tried to price up a repair but that's as pricey as a new 'un, oh well, on the count up to 'enery the eighth lol

[whitebeam]

That title was enough to make me ponder for a moment then oh god, not the
Henry
I'm filling up

[Dave]

I have looked at the dewalt vacuum but i think a Henry2 would be better.. but i have to bury and grieve for henry first.

[Gall.B]

lol sorry to hear that Dave, how did Hetty and youn George take the news?

[Dave]

They are fine it is Berty i am worried about.

[Gall.B]

Don't bury him, cut his head open and turn him into a plant pot, you'll be together forever that way ..........erm

[Pebbs]

Yes his lovely smiling face with a load of bedding plants sticking out the top...I wish I had Terry turned into a fish tank...sob.

[Scott]

You lot been on the sauce tonight?

Is this the plant suggestion?

[Colour Republic]

Lost mine a few years back and I still think of him most days, he caught fire too.

Had a few days to gather my thoughts then went out and got Hetty who's now a working girl.

Gutted when I found out just a few days ago I could have bought a new heart for Henry at just £35

[Dave]

My Henry was an OLD man and really he was working to hard these days.. i think a youthful Henry would be the way to go.. Sort of a toyboy ..

[tommyzooom]

FFS Dave, That title made my heart sink.

[doug boardley]

I'm sure there's a Henry Heaven Dave, and he will be looking down smiling at us all. When's the service?

[Sir Ramic]

So sad, I can reccomend Hoover-Boyer Funeral Homes - Caring funeral and cremation services - Millersburg, PA

[timeless john]

And all this was brought about by tempting fate - just last week a thread was discussed about 'best' vacums (hoovers) and I distinctly remember Dave promoting the age of his 'Henry'.

Time to go back to my trustee brush - had it for 15 years - 10 new handles and 8 shanks (trigger from Only fools and horses).

[Scott]

Henry will always smile!

[Bri]

Sad times, did he look like this when he was on his way out

FEAR Not!!!!!


He LIVES!!!!!!!!!!!! i plugged him in today.. a big puff of smoke and away he sucked...

I am so chuffed my old friend lives on but i must cut his work hrs down..

I hope it isn't just a last gasp before he finally croaks but fingers crossed my son's kiss of life did work..



Bri shame on you posting haunting pics of wide eyed henry..

[Dan]

lol Dave. Pleased to hear henry's back to work. He'll be happy to have his hours cut a bit I'm guessing too, so I'm pleased about that too.

Give him a new heart if he needs one. 30 quid aint bad.

[Del W]

Maybe you should send Henry on a holiday with Abstract Tiling,he's off to Spain soon.!

NOTE;Tilers Forums does not advise taking cocaine.

But a drink is okay.
Don't watch if you have a weak stomach.

Nothing wrong with that at all darling

[mz30]

hehehe,my wife bought it cause it was a couple of quid cheaper than the masculine version,pity i never do the vacuming .

[Dave]

We have a Hetty in the house.. and she is a better sucker than Henry..

[mz30]

my sentiments exactly dave lol

[andy allen]

dave i think the only fair thing to do would be to let henry have early retirement.

he can stay in your van for the time being, enjoying his days out, maybe the odd trip to the sea side, then when you need the space you can put him into a retirement home The Grange Garage is a good one in you area, and if he has no assets it wont cost him a penny, however i fear not, as you say hes worked hard all his life so the goverment will bleed him dry
