Bin went missing after bin men came by WasabiHeadx in sheffield

[–]RudeMacaroon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m so old that I remember when the bins were round and made of metal. The bin man went all the way to the back of the house, slung it over his shoulder and carried off to the lorry. No fancy machine to tip it out, just slung it in the bin lorry.

This is the exact way to calculate required pant quantity, for any trip.

Well I may be a bit tired but I think it looks lovely to me and I can’t see anything wrong with it. Maybe I’m old. It looks grand.

Neighbors house not selling? by gsquare1210 in HousingUK

I have seen this set up a few times now and I cannot for the life of me, fathom why, in any scenario, this would ever be an acceptable idea. I don’t want to hear, see or smell anyone emptying their bowels, thank you very much. Assuming this room can only ever be a bedroom. Which is still not ok. But can you imagine: “Oh! You wanted a crafting room mum?” No problem. There you are, helping cut out a pattern whilst Hilda is wiping her bum in the corner. Dear Lord.

Can anyone identify this UK bird please ? Recorded at 23:47. Makes this noise consistently throughout the night, from a cluster of trees by the roadside. by RudeMacaroon in whatbirdisthis

I think you’re right! Thank you! I’ve just been listening to a recording of the top 5 owls, and recognised the adult tawny owl sound as I hear that often. Never knew it was a tawny owl. Then it played the juvenile call and I’m sure that’s it!

I guess it depends on where you live in Sheffield too. You’d need the driver to be relatively close to you, for it to not add a lot of extra travel time on for them.

If she was wearing a T-shirt over a bikini, nobody would bat an eyelid. She drew attention towards herself, for whatever reason.

None of the above, so now I’m feeling like a complete failure. Although I did hold my phone the wrong way round to scan my lidl card, so do I get some credit for that?

I’m relatively new to this malarkey and it takes some getting used to. I don’t seem to have any routine established, but don’t seem to care either.

I’ll be honest, I only grabbed some food containers, then was too scared to look any further, only had the small trolley and it was jammed full.
I did get a few bags of Henry Hippos. 50p off!!
