I asked a while ago if anyone on here had mates who were 'not roight in da head', I mentioned a pal of mine but someone said the thread wouldn't go down well, so just to prove that this pal of mine isn't a full shilling......

Here he is at the top of Roseberry Topping today with a friend he carried up.

What in the name of Slartibartfast's Norwegian fjords is he doing at the top of a mountain with a vacuum cleaner?

There's no way that hoover carried a fully grown man all the way up Roseberry.

Props if he could do that without the extension cord getting unplugged.

Worrying that no one is looking at Charles or your mate standing on a hill.

Skirting could do with a wipe down too.

If he needs some cheering up, take him out and get him some new hose.

Er.... what's wrong with that? I trained for a West Coast Trail and Rockies trip by walking up and down Holcombe Hill many times with an Electrolux vacuum in my rucsac, it was the ideal weight, fitted perfectly inside the sac and even had a handle on the end for lifting it in and out.

It's a risky strategy taking a hoover into the countryside.

Nature abhors a vacuum.

Rob is really crackers, I asked him if it was ok to use the pic on another site (here) & he said,  Aye as long as It's not midget porn related, I had enough trouble explaining it last time.

He's now threatening to take it up Sca Fell, so if you see a bearded bloke carrying a blue Charles vacuum cleaner up a mountain, say 'Hi Rob, you complete lunatic'

He should start a YouTube channel.  He'd clean up.

Ha ha that’s brilliant. He should try taking all of the Henry family with him next time. Don’t know why but it’s reminded me of miserable Brian from when I worked in a mill years ago.

Miserable Brian was pretty much as his name would suggest. One of the other young shopfloor workers and I knew where he lived and crucially knew that he collected gnomes. We stole one of his gnomes whilst drunk one night.

We kept it in a locker at work and handed it out to other staff members that were going on holiday. Brian would come in to find pictures of his gnome, in all kinds of exotic locations, pinned to his work station.

Everybody ended up taking the gnome on holiday, even a couple of board members. Miserable Brian didn’t see the funny side of this in the five years it went on for. I left the gnome on his desk on my last day of working there.

At one place I worked we did exactly this one summer, only with one of those 4' stand fans supplied by work that an employee thought they owned in a "parking outside my house" mentality way.  We sent postcards on "holiday" from the back of the warehouse the Returns department, Sales, the rear car park.

After said employee went Peak Gammon chasing round the building, we staged a kidnapping (fan-napping?) and started sending increasingly demanding ransom notes.  (Leave four mouse balls and a box of shareware disks on reception or it loses a blade.)  They went ****ing spare, it was tremendous.

It all ended, via a brief brush with Stockholm Syndrome, with it being left on the edge of the roof of the building after leaving a suicide note.

LOL @ Funkmaster & Cougar. I knew of the same thing that happened to a crash test dummy mascot dressed in Sunderland AFC gear, 'borrowed' by a Newcastle supporter & it went all over the world, with photo's sent to the rightful owner in Durham. (it belonged to a Durham jail screw) It got pissed on, run over by cars, all sorts of stuff.
