Neighbours Bin
Discussion

I don't quite get this thread. Where has the neighbour bin? Is he back yet?
Turns out the neighbour was actually in the bin, he'd been roughed up by the binmen for putting a greasy pizza box in his recycling. They`d left him outside my place in the hope someone would find him.iambigred said:
I have sympathy with the op, the binmen recently left bins strewn across my street. I was stuck in the house all day until my neighbours returned home to move the bins.
A strongly worded email was sent to the council.
Kyle: All right, listen. The Wheelie bin's an infiltration unit: part household waste recycling device, part machine. Underneath, it's a hyperalloy combat chassis, microprocessor-controlled. Fully armored; very tough. But outside, it's just dull brown polyproylene, an easy wipe clean finish.A strongly worded email was sent to the council.
Sarah: Look, Reese. I don't know what you want from...
Kyle: Pay attention! I gotta ditch this car. [parks car slightly blocking in Porsche Macan] The 600 series had metal lids. We spotted them easy. But these are new, they look real. Old cans of lager, s
tty nappies, cat litter, last night's madras, even used flat white Costa cups, everything. Very hard to spot. I had to wait till they moved on your estate before I could zero him.Sarah: Look, I am not stupid, you know. They cannot make things like that yet...no one recycles Costa cups!
Kyle: Not yet, not for about 40 years.
Sarah: [disbelieving] Are you saying it's from the future?
Kyle: One possible future. From your point of view. I don't know about your local council's recycling policy.
Sarah: Then you're from the future too - is that right?
Kyle: Right.
Sarah: Right.
[They struggle together, she bites his hand in her attempt to escape]
Kyle: [coldly] Wheelie bins don't feel pain. I do. Don't do that again.
Sarah: [weakly] Just let me go!
Kyle: Listen, and understand! That bin is out there! It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear! And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead!

Neighbours can't be recycled. He's in the wrong bin. Take him out and put him in the other one.

Just got home from work and found the binmen have left my neighbours bin across the entrance to my drive. What do i do? Should I call the council to get the binmen back and move it outside the right house. Obviously I cant move it myself as its not mine.
I`m stuck in my car too as I cant get on my drive and have nowhere else to park. Hopefully they wont take long to come back and move it, I`ve got no food or drink in the car so i`m worried i might starve, I'm furious as to how this can happen, dont the binmen check these things?!
As the young people might say: ' Fella, just move it yourself.'I`m stuck in my car too as I cant get on my drive and have nowhere else to park. Hopefully they wont take long to come back and move it, I`ve got no food or drink in the car so i`m worried i might starve, I'm furious as to how this can happen, dont the binmen check these things?!

Good to see the developer leaving plenty of room for parking in that street. fA strongly worded email was sent to the council.
k me, one car space per house on what looks to be 3 to 4 bedroom houses? I think that parking would be more an issue than the abandonment of the bins!Oh, and the muppet in the black Audi, just couldnt be bothered to walk that extra 10m and park by the red SAAB? instead of on the footpath. I would be rather hoping that a bin would accidentally hit his/her car!

Compared to some new-build estates I've had the misfortune of needing to drive around in recent years, this one looks positively generous both in its provision of parking spaces and in the width of the roadway itself. At least there's a few yards of neutral zone between roadway and front door - the number of new builds where you'd be stepping out of your front door straight into the roadway/parking space makes me wonder wtf is going on in the minds of developers/planners. k me, one car space per house on what looks to be 3 to 4 bedroom houses?

As for poor parking, considering the two cars in the foreground are also partially blocking the pavement/drop-kerb despite appearing to be parked fully on their own driveways, I don't think someone parking neatly along what I assume is their own drop-kerb is a big deal. In areas where parking can be a problem, better to control the use of the space at the end of your own driveway and leave spaces elsewhere for visitors to use, than to park one of your cars in those "spare" spaces yourself and then find the other car on your driveway blocked by some inconsiderate donk who thinks it's quite acceptable to park across someone elses driveway...
...although, if it turns out the Audi does indeed belong to such a donk and not someone living in/visiting that house, then by all means unleash the full fury of Pistonheads upon them!
They left mine across the drive a couple of years ago. Like I want to touch a germ riddled bin before getting in my car and driving to work! My wife was at home that day so would shift it a little later.
Edged the car past it and across the road blocking the fkers in the otherwise deserted cul-de-sac while I ambled up the drive with it then went in and washed my hands.
