I have just been grovelling round the back of the computer bench with the narrow vacuum attachment that generates extra suction. Or makes all the right noises to convince one that extra suction is being developed and is thus the correct implement to use for such jobs. That specific job being 'clean out the inside of the PC because it has been stopping randomly instead of running for weeks at a time between M$-sponsored restarts, and while you're at it see to the knitted mess of cables and things that have fallen off the back of the bench so there's slightly less crap for the fans in the PC to collect and thus delay the inevitable repeat of this unpleasant expedition.'

It's dark down the back of that there bench, so as an aid to being able to see things, I gaffered a Maglite (small) sized LED torch underneath the narrow vacuum attachment that may or may not generate extra suction, thus giving me a free hand to dig things out of the way.

While unwrapping the gaffer, it came to me that I had just invented the tactical vacuum cleaner.

Obviously what is required to persuade MEN to do more cleaning is a matt-black vacuum powered by something like the blower motor from a CDC Hawk, with a range of accessories that come in a Zero Halliburton-style case and snap together with really loud clicks. All of the business ends should be fitted with Picatinny rails, and there should be a variety of extra-cost 'tactical' and 'special ops' bolt-ons.

Elsewhere, pruning. Knackered.
