Today I'm angry about.....

Tell your council to update their garbage policies, TANGO. Whilst we only have two bins to sort out at least the trucks that come to empty them don't need 'runners' to feed them; they just poke out an hydraulic arm, grab the bin and dump it into a receiving receptacle. Perhaps that might put a few jobs out of fashion but they, I'm sure, could be employed at the other end un-sorting the otherwise fine citizens' of Farnworth incorrectly placed items.

We have four bins Monty. The main bins get emptied weekly and the others fortnightly. If we had your system we'd have a protest march and campaign about "foreign technology stealing our jobs" etc. Either that or four blokes employed as "positioning technicians" and they'd come and paint yellow-line squares on the pavements, with fines for anyone who's bin wasn't correctly placed as well as the refusal to empty such law-breaking receptacles. Mind you, we haven't caught up with Bury yet in the technology stakes :

Leave me out of it Tango - I have a garbage chute and I don't know what happens after that.

When I was in the UK we had alternate collections. 1 week was regular and the following week recycling. All well and good except when you missed a collection of regular in the summer due to being away or something. Here they collect every other day and put a nice new bin bag in your bin each time

B-hell AT, how long ago was this now ???

Sorry Monty. Getting my foreigners mixed up.

Seems a long time ago. Only a few months though...

I've no idea. The old boy next door puts my bins out (and back) whilst I'm at work. I couldn't even tell you which day's bin day.

Shouldn't you be helping the old boy out? Shameful

I have, of course, raised this very issue a time or two, but apparently pottering around and doing stuff for folks keeps him active. They truly are a lovely old couple and yeah, I do feel a little embarrassed about the amount of stuff they do for me whilst I'm out/away, but then I don't want to upset them. I buy them jigsaws whenever I see one as a thanks.

I'll let you off then!

My old neighbour was a bit like that and I always felt a bit guilty. I gave him all our gardening gear when we left...which made me feel a bit better

Oddly enough that was my first reaction.

The OAP Jigsaw Massacre sprang to mind...when they get tired of putting out Brucie's bins.

[Bruce Rioja]

Oh my word!

[Hoboh]

And this is supposed to be a male!!!!



Holy sh*t there must bieber a lot of lesies out there

[bobo the clown]

I've never used one but they must be a bloody good make. Didn't Elton John write a song about them ?

So he should. Finest electrical tool known to man. Cuts through wood, metal, formica, you name it.

Some daft woman is sueing him for £6 mil because his audience screams made her deaf. Took her daughter to a concert and claims he deliberately roused the audience to frenzied screams and gave her tinitus.

Gotta love those crazy Americans.

[boltonboris]

Somebody told me they get £28,000 a year before any overtime or benefits. If that's true, surely somebody with half a pissin' braincell would fancy earning that?

You must be able to work as part of a team and on own initiative and maintain a good level of physical fitness.... £16,087 - £18,114 a year

Part of their own initiative?? Council workers???

Still.. Taking into account how much they get for weekends and overtime and shite, they'll be pulling 22-23k. Which ain't bad for a fckin numpty!
