Heute vor 120 Jahren meldete ein Brite das erste Patent für einen Staubsauger an: „Puffing Billy“ war so groß wie eine Kutsche und wurde von Pferden gezogen. Es dauerte also noch eine Weile, bis das Teppichklopfen aus dem Alltag verschwand.

So much choice.. but actually the only conversation you really need to be having is around the word 'electric'. We're talking about assisted cycling made possible through high-end technology - it's another revolution for the wheel. Produced by iamthehow.

It's late at night in the podcave and the two Supervets are still struggling to get their heads around the new microphones and have been giggling like school boys try not to make each other echo when they talk. Lewis talks about his regularly 'boys steak night' with some heavy-hitters of the veterinary industry and Robbie ponders how Lewis managed to get an invite... Lewis' highlight of the week is a dog that was rescued by a pregnant lady who swam 200 metres off shore to stop him from drowning - not all heroes wear capes. In the same vein, a cape-less Robbie chases Puffing Billy and then narrates a modern tragedy called 'when a podcast vet locks eyes with an uber celebrity'. Robbie shares his encounter with TV celebrity Charlie Pickering and his promise to the podcast listeners. Robbie then dives into the more vet related topic of lumps and bumps on your pet and pulls no punches with questions such as; Does size really matter?; How do you know if that lump is nasty?; What should I do if I find a lump on my pet?; Is every lump cancerous? What will the vet do when they examine the lump? Is it better to have the lump examined or just ignore it? Lewis then launches in to Part 3 of cats urinating outside the litter tray - problems a cat may have with the litter tray or litter substance or the location. Robbie coins the phrase 'litter buffet' and gives us some further insights into poor Melvin, his over-grooming, urine spraying and toilet missing house cat. As usual, the two vets would love to know what you think of the show or ask any questions please find us in the Yellow Pages, on MySpace, Facebook , Instagram or Twitter.

David Mickle has had a passion for steam trains for 50 years. Before David he retired at the young age of 70, he worked as an electrician. He looked forward to retiring so he would have more time to pursue his passion for steam trains. When David was a young child he was fascinated with steam trains. His passion for steam trains only grew as he got older. Henry and David discuss his volunteer work on the on the Puffing Billy which is a voluntary Railway group that operates a steam train in Australia. David was a volunteer laborer and helped to restore the cars and railways after a landslide. They also discuss David's involvement with the Melbourne Steam Traction Engine Club. David was one of the very first members of this club and was also involved in the club for over 50 years. Dave also restored a steam engine with the help of his friend. It was manufactured by the Yorkshire Steam Wagon Company and has a horizontal boiler on the front with Ackermann steering. There is nothing automatic about this steam wagon either. You have to stop to change gears. Henry and Dave talk about the restoration process and it really is amazing. In listening to Henry's interview David, you can really tell how important this hobby is to David. He is a man with some fascinating stories who is more than happy to share them. There is some amazing history and heritage behind steam trains. Do you have a passion for steam trains? You don't have to actually own a steam train if you are interested in them. There are steam engine organizations where you can volunteer doing things such as working on the trains or driving the trains. What is David advice for retirees?
