I saw an advertisement yesterday for a vacuum cleaner with 'guaranteed no loss of suction', according to the voice-over man. And later he said it came 'with no loss of suction guaranteed'. That seems a really awkward way of expressing that, doesn't it? Unless No Loss Of Suction is some sort of trademarked property that this vacuum cleaner has.
This will be the last time I mention this, I promise, but in case you missed it: I have created a Pinterest board to keep all my terrible shoe finds for posterity. (I've changed the name and therefore its link, as I found another Ugly Shoe board.) I had all my ugly shoe links in a folder before; more than I thought there were, and some I had completely blocked from my memory. The human-tooth-bottomed brogues, the rat slippers, the fish thongs. Enjoy!
