Either there is about a million bikers heading east along the A26 or there is just a bunch of them going around the block past my house.

Watch out Maidstone, the bikers are coming.

This lives near us. It's been there for years. We've been here 12 years and it's been here longer than that. It's not mint but it's tidy. A bit faded but straight. 

Anyway a couple of weeks ago I drove past and the front had quite a sizeable dent right up the front. Bumper, grille and bonnet all damaged. 

It then disappeared and I assumed that was the end of it but last week it reappeared looking like this. 

The bonnet doesn't look like it has been repainted, it's not shiny enough so perhaps they found a scrapper the same colour. The grey plastic on the bumper is a lot less faded than the rear but that seems to be the only giveaway. 

Either way, I'm glad it's back, it's a local landmark.

I had a skip last weekend, when the bloke turned up to collect on Monday he was genuinely surprised we had only filled it up to just under the top and asked if we had anything more to put in it before he took it away

Not vicious but a self centred prick.  
 

Very passive and avoids confrontation. 
 

Except Dogs. 
 

Dogs he will attack, regardless of size, on his property.  
 

This is also typically him. Always watching when I work on stuff.

I'm assuming that's Dublin, rather than pre-1990 London?

Yes, definitely Dublin. M50 Skips are a local operator. 
 

I’m guessing that they wouldn’t be impressed by this sort of messing. Just get a bigger skip FFS. 
 

or maybe 4 skips!
