Bin there, done that.

 We've had gale force winds in Wellington since yesterday.

Today is rubbish day.

That means that bins are everywhere, and so are idiots.

Idiots don't secure their bins properly and often overload them.

That means that, in these conditions, bins are blown over and rubbish blows everywhere.

For some reason, our drive attracts rubbish.

I was out last night, and early this morning, cleaning up other people's rubbish.

I took a drive early this morning (Rob would have been out cleaning, but Peter would have been playing with his device in bed - hopefully the electronic one). You can see bins, either with their tops open because some idiot didn't use the little clip on the bin or blown over with their unsecured lids. I don't want to get into comparisons to rocket science, but it's not that hard to secure the lid on your bin and put it in a position where it has the best chance of standing up to the wind.











Robert's latest post is about purgatory. I left a comment, but he edited the post so that he could have a go at my comment. No wonder he sometimes calls himself Robert the sinner. Purgatory awaits you, Rob.

Pleased to see km/h shows zero while you took the photos. That second photo down could be the sister in law's drive with the brown fence, or very close to it.

You sound like Beach Patrol Pete.

Or he might be named Beach Police Pete and can be found on instagram.

I'm more into Peter Pumpkin Eater.
It was sad about his wife, until he got her into a pumpkin shell. Made a host of difference.

Haven’t you got some rubbish to pick up?
Following that maybe you need to lurk in your neighbours’ gardens conducting noise patrol.
Poisoning cats is a option and maybe you can go around measuring fencing to see if they comply.

Twot.

Do you want dirty nappies and unwashed milk bottles up your drive? I could probably arrange it.

So is learning grammar.
Too much time wasted on Latin in 3Pee.

I can understand why you might have unwashed milk bottles at hand but what's the deal on city nappies? Am I missing something?

THE CURMUDGEON ha detto...

Twat is the correct spelling but I guess you only ever hear that addressed to you as opposed to someone writing insults to you.

THE CURMUDGEON ha detto...

iPad body auto-corrected the 'an' I typed. Bastard!

THE CURMUDGEON ha detto...

OK, that's enough insults for today. I wonder what Robert's blog is offering?
