I've not seen this one out in a while, I wonder what's happened to it. Hibernating I suppose.

First time I have seen this and dont think I have smiled so much watching a youtube vid. My favourite part is how he starts pretty tentatively with his praise then by the end you can tell he is a fan. I think he tries to resist the lure of the rotor but it overpowers him. Love it.
