There may be others out there on Mudcat who get their bins done on a Tuesday, we could form a club! Perhaps get discount for festival / concert tickets, maybe a secret handshake!

Perhaps you both have identical bins! Maybe you both have a binman called Andy! In fact you might sing some of the same songs.....play the same instruments......oh what fun it will be comparing ourselves with others....-perhaps a new thread for the purpose...Oh what a lovely life!

"We peaked tonight!"

So it seems Skipy! :-)

Now here's one for The Constitution.

On a Tuesday our bins are emptied at the back, but on a Wedneday, they're emptied from the front! Does this mean I can be Chairman/woman/person/chair?

We've a strange house which backs onto one road and fronts on to another. Now whether it's the same van, or the same crew, and whether they all play the banjo inbetween collections, who knows? But I could do some reconnaisance work...

Do you have to have Folkie Dustmen to join The Bin Club? I could get them into folk music you know, leave a few CDs out for them on top of the bins...they'd be 'fluent' in no time!

Just for that, I hope that all of you get stuck on the ride at Disneyland right in front of the Small World exhibit -- as I did! And you will hear, over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over

it's a world of laughter, a world or tears
its a world of hopes, its a world of fear
theres so much that we share
that its time we're aware
its a small world after all

CHORUS:
its a small world after all
its a small world after all
its a small world after all
its a small, small world

There is just one moon and one golden sun
And a smile means friendship to everyone.
Though the mountains divide
And the oceans are wide
It's a small small world

(chorus)

until you all go MAD!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Peace, it's a great start, I see a problem though, other clubs could set up for other days of the week, perhaps bin wars? A sort of round table, all days equal but the one to the right of the king more equal than others, so Monday thinking they are something special. Animal farm effect?
It's a worry!

I'm with BillD -- Monday rules. Tuesday people are short and squinty, as a rule, and suspiciously lax about having their rubbish collected, while we who have ours done on Mondays are obviously more punctilious. FUrthermore, people who wait until Tuesday obviously hate cleanliness, which is as we all know next t Godliness, and therefore must hate God as well. So for carefully considered devout religious reasons we should have nothing to do with them, and possibly declare war.

Perhaps people with different collection days (mine is Friday) could become honorary members, with everybody working together?

What's more, I can choose Saturday, Sunday, Monday or Wednesday. Let me repeat, you passive dumpers are WIMPS.

Nah, the quality have their bins done on Wednesdays, but only alternate weeks. On the Wednesday that the bins are not emptied we get to put out the recycling.

Just to drift a bit, our recycling is terribly picky; they accept waste paper including newspapers and envelopes, but not shredded paper, manila or window envelopes. Are all recyclers like this?
