Title: Bin collection confuzzlement
Post by: Nick on September 16, 2011, 07:23:45 AM
Friday is bin day here. One week it is general rubbish, the next week it is "recycled" shite. I put the rubbish bins out last night. One of my neighbours brought them in later and put out the shite bins. ANother neighbour has just swapped them over again. I now have no effing idea what week it is. All the adjacent houses are busy swapping theirs around now. The confuzzlement spreads

Anyway, a bin was emptied yesterday. I suggest to Nick to make a note which one and mark up his calendar so he knows from now on.

Or is that too sensible?

Far too sensible  noooo:

You see ~ your basic assumptions are that he has a calendar and can find a pencil ...... all a bit unlikely if you ask me.

His house/flat IS a tip. Even I had to resort to doing some tdying up whilst I was there, and that was just so I could actually find the sofa to place me arse upon. ::)

It gets confusing. We have two visits a week, Monday and Tuesday. So if Monday is a bank holiday, everything is a day late. Fair enough. So come the August bank holiday,the following week everything is normal, but this week everything is a day late. I am confused.

I rubbed me gate down yesterday ready for painting today like...

To stop all the local dogs pissing on me hard werk I lent a mahoosive board out of the garage against it and then wedged the wheelie bin in front of that to stop the wind blowing it over...

I forgot it was bins day today...  redface:

They dutifully emptied the wheelie bin, took the mahoosive board away and returned the wheelie bin to its new place in front of the gate!  lol:
