Thanks Rian Johnson, you've just made the Phantom Menace seem like a well paced, cohesive piece of film history. Nice one.
Just thought I’d like to take this opportunity to post you all a Christmas card and wish you a merry holiday. No offence intended (well maybe a little). Have a good one
Massive respect to Gary Grant, the owner of The Entertainer shop chain. He is a committed Christian who still believes that Sunday’s should be a day of rest. His stores don’t trade on Sundays, “any Sunday”, and he is prepared to lose more than £2m rather than open Christmas Eve.
If we had a “No **** Sherlock” thread, I would have posted this on it. http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/157...since_fortnightly_bin_collections_brought_in/
Were Southampton the last council in the country to do it? I remember Eastleigh doing it probably 10 years before we left there and that was nearly 4 years ago. Seem to remember all the same complaints back then as well.
In the event you ever end up with FLT and there's cheese available, cut it in what he considers to be "the wrong way" and see his nerve ganglions shake. I've never, literally never, seen anything like it. Apparently I cut them all the "wrong" way. I will admit that my cutting a flagpole and flag shaped chunk out of a camembert was rather intended to cause offence but, in my defence, it had been a testing cheese-related experience up to that point. So, if you ever get the chance, it's an experiment well worth a try. Vin
you think that's bad - in Serbia my bins are only emptied twice a week! (Tuesdays and Fridays) sometimes I forget to put the bins out on Monday night and have to wait til Friday! bloody communists!
What system is in place in Southampton? On the Island (where there are no problems) recyclable rubbish is collected one week and non-recyclables on the alternate week....food is collected every week.
and they charge you 2 pound a month if you have 2 bins! (that really pisses off my wife - wasn't like that when Tito was alive, she says)
I'm not sure the point of community service is to really enjoy it? http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-merseyside-42397746
At least have the intelligence to not tell us you are enjoying it Wayne. FFS. I'd have him picking dogshit of the streets.
We've had alternate week collections for years in Wiltshire, black bins one week (landfill) and blue recycling bin the next. I can honestly say it's been no problem, and helps you focus on what does get thrown away. I also pay a small annual fee to have a green bin for garden waste which gets collected fortnightly. The fly tipping thing also baffles me somewhat as it usually involves a car to transport the rubbish, so why not take it to the tip? Maybe it's a more urban problem as I rarely see any signs of domestic fly tipping on my travels through the countryside. Commercial fly tipping is a different problem, largely driven by greedy people cutting corners in order to undercut rivals...fines should be increased imho, and covert monitoring of known fly tipping hotspots via cameras would radically reduce this.
As they say in my neck of the woods, you can't educate pork. The man is a moron, and dogshit patrol sounds pretty fitting.
Fareham is the same except we don't have a food collection we have a free fortnightly garden waste collection. The garden waste stops for a month over Christmas and starts again in time to collect any Christmas trees (real ones not fake like mine ). Is Southamptons different? If not why are they finding it so hard? I've missed something I think.
We used to be able to buy bags for green collection....perfectly suited for small gardens. Sadly we now have to have a bin for garden rubbish which will cost more.
Bins in Southampton are alternate weeks. One week recycling, the next landfill. I don't see the problem with it, hasn't caused me any issues.
Same as me...no problems. And after initially being uncertain, it now suits me down to the ground. I am tidier because I automatically sort and bin rubbish so no papers, old envelopes etc lying around.
Just got back from the vets . Have had to have Jasper put to sleep . 15 years old . He was only a Cat , but we have no children . Why do we get so attached ?
