...I wish they'd use stronger glue to stick the poppy-seeds to poppy-seed bagels, my keyboard has enough poppy-seeds in it to make half a pound of smack
feed a small army of sparrows
make a delicious poppy-seed cake
make cleaning it an absolute frickin' nightmare.
Does anyone know where I can get an extremely small Hoover?

If it's not your laptop keyboard, buy a new keyboard, it will be cheaper.

Cheaper for one keyboard, maybe, but the bagel shop downstairs is extremely popular, and I believe buying a miniature Hoover would actually be cheaper than buying ten new keyboards.
Especially when we got one of these with our new server but ended up using it in the box office, and now everyone wants one. They're a lot more than $4.99 when you don't buy them on eBay.

Too many buttons on that.
It look useful as something to beat people with though.

one day when I was in work, and bored, surprise surprise, I decided to clean my keyboard, the amount of eyelashes was frightening, what I did was prise all of the keys out with a nice ballpoint, then went to the shop, got some cotton buds (Q-tips?) and cleaned it with some antiseptic stuff, there was also loads of bits of crisps which I never eat at my desk, I wonder where they came from, trick is to not eat at the desk, you knick knack!!

Eating at the desk is a necessary evil, I'm afraid.
And your keyboard-cleaning method sounds far too much like hard work to me. What if you put all the keys back in the wrong place?!

Well what I did was I stole Anthony (sits bedside me)'s keyboard when he was on lunch, so I could copy it, I am not that thick!! It was hard work, but worth it in the end, and I was bored as well!

Your talents are obviously wasted in your current job then.

I know, that much is obvious anyway!! Shane (my supervisor) has a mate who's Dad owns a company that cleans keyboards, maybe I should work for them? haha!! I think I need to leave this place, but what will I do instead??

Also, its egg that you use to "glue" the poppy seeds on, what the H & H people do is mix eggs (whole) with milk, probably, it makes it go further, but makes it lose its "gluing" ability, very annoying, when I make bagels, I use whole egg yolk, very sticky, and makes them look nice and varnished, yum!
