Worked great for about a year until the big warehouse on the adjoining plot was complete, which blocks all the wind. Rather than sell it or move it, it's just been stood there useless since 2006.

That's either a very low turbine or a mahoosive warehouse! Someone in planning cocked up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit of both, it was built in the mid-2000s so by sizeable I mean "not one of them 8 foot wide things". Construction of the big warehouse was apparently already underway when they built the turbine. myglaren 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference also is that in many cases the women are more willing to listen if I try to gently explain. If it's a man who doesn't understand, he'll almost stick two fingers in his ears walking off shouting "LAA LAA LAA LAA". While simultaneously expecting the central heating to work more if it's turned up to 30c and complaining that it's too warm and opening up windows. myglaren 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been to a big shop in town for a long time so I don't know when they started selling Christmas decorations here. But for all I know, it could have been in July or August.

jakebullet Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Green bin day tomorrow. Fuckin huge hedge needs trimming again on top as a) current workshy next door never does any trimming and b) bastard hedge is 5 foot thick due to 20 years of renting to workshy cunts. A bit back I bought a 5 in 1 petrol chopping thing from aldi as long reach, so will be easy* to chop all 5 foot thick hedge. Sadly it's a bit shit, so I'm doing the rev it to max and wave about hopefully thing while overstretching. No, I didn't fall off the steps.

We went from blue wheelies for paper etc and a black tub for cans and plastic to a recycling caddy/trolley that was a pointless exercise since it has nearly no space.

They like to disappear in storms too. The Scottish government decided we had to put our food waste out to be collected ( because apparently having a bin for food waste stops you putting food in the bin. Just make soup FFS!), so the council not having an infinite fleet of lorries , stopped the garden waste collection. So I have to drive to the tip every week to get rid of the garden waste ( I have 4 compost bins, that’s just the excess)., which really doesn’t do much for the environment. Also it means the council buys in compost for their own use rather than make it. Bonkers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datsuncog Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 That doesn't make any sense. Here, a brown wheelie bin is used for food waste, garden waste and cardboard, which is then collected fortnightly. The council use it to make compost for parks etc, but a few times a year they bag it up and residents can pick up a few bags for free from the council depot. Black bin for landfill waste, and a separate kerb collection by a charity group (Bryson House) for glass/ paper/ plastic/ metal recyclables.

beko1987 Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 My Green bin is mixed recycling, brown is garden (don't have one of those though) and black general rubbish. My mum over the border near MK has green with a blue lid as general waste, dad in South Holland/lincs has bags by the kerb still My gran in Pboro has green as general waste or something I ask what bin is what every time I need to use one Same at the FoD, I see some signs went up recently as all the black bags look the same when your aiming a can at them from a chair 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakebullet Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Dozy hole next door is screeching, when I hear amongst the usual fucks and cunts her shout "You don't fucking start fires in the house! Cunt!". Great! Perhaps you shouldn't a) leave lighters around and b) supervise what your kids are doing? One of the kids is exactly like Beavis so not unexpected that he'll start fires if you leave fire about. Previous experiments* have included what happens if you nerf gun the dog in the head from point blank range, and can my brother breathe underwater if I hold him under long enough? myglaren 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
