Bin Men are easy i got mine 12 Cans of Stella this christmas and mine are as good as gold nothing is ever left outside my house they took our old bath bits of a garden shed and anything else there. But next door they only take black sacks they leave carrier bags and anything else. All about keeping them sweet

You know, in oz, adelaide to be exact, they get around such menal tasks by having trucks with automated arms that lift your bin and dump its contents in the lorry. all you have to do is put out your bin on the side of the road before collection day, of course such a simple idea could never be done here

Dammit we are so behind in this country, come on degree so i can move back, oh to be on noarlunga beach again!

hah where abouts do you live in uk, we've had this sorta thing for years.

We stabbed our bin mens family and warned him he would be next if he didn't do a good job. He buys us stella at xmas!

All that with giving Beer when you need something extra taken is quite a common practice...

My roommate from 10th's dad was a binman/garbage man and when I came home with him to visit and we went by his dad's place (divorced parents) there was loads of beer of all kinds all over.
I mean, he litterarly had 30+ frames with 24 beers in each and none of the frames consisted of the same type of beer can's as he didn't bother sorting them. He always had whatever beer brand you'd want.... quite handy

But it is only fair I guess. I do it too, if I have some big garbage I want to be taken out, I leave a few beers out with the extra bag laying besides the garbage bin and then they don't mind taking the extra

however, i dont see how 1 change in society can deem complete change of all rules? because thats basically what toh + iceforge is saying...

No, thats not what I am saying.

But I am saying that if you are going to say "Change the rules for health reasons" in 1 instance in which you only get advantages, then you shouldn't whine and complain like kids when rules gets changed for health reasons and you are not getting the advantage.

It is like being pro more police patrolling roads to keep people from speeding, and then whine and cry that the system is unfair when they catch you doing a traffic violation (like not blinking when turning, etc), saying you expected the more police ONLY to deal with speeding and not other traffic violations.. Childish and stupid to whine then.

If you can't see that, then there is something wrong with you, not me....

Basically what Iceforge said, but, in a more direct and non-polite way.

I f*cking called this back in the smoking ban discussions...

I dont get people giving me beer when I do a harder than normal task at work. Fuck em the lazy *****. They should have paid attention in school, or the job centre

And...so?

And...so?

This is a regulation inside a specific industry rather than something more widespread like the smoking ban, the two are completely different. This is no way linked to or caused by the smoking ban.

Never said that...it's linked to the smoking ban discussion though.

As in, people saying "don't complain and adapt" to smokers with the smoking ban, and same people then complaining when there's some other change.

 

[Azurus]

Ah well i trying to say the changes are of a different nature and they shouldn't be lumped together.

As most of you foreign FHers have probably realised it's in the English nature to complain. The 'anti-pc brigade' are always at it, nitpicking at every little thing as a sign that 'Britishness' is being eroded and the apocalypse is coming.

Oh yes, and there's nothing wrong. They are tow different occasions, but changes due to "health" reasons as such, and as such, similar discussion about "changing our lives!"

Also have noticed the english complainism raging sometimes, but it's ok too as you tend to do it(at times) rather politely. What i don't like though, or well...comment on more then "not like"...is telling others to "suck it up"(pun) about the smoking ban and then go off a tangent when they change something else that DOES effect their lives

FFS ! This country's gone Health & Safety nuts. What happened to proper bin men who got up at 4am, did their days' work and just got on with the job ? Bin men used to be strong ! They used to whistle. Sure, they made a load of noise when you were trying to sleep in, but they knew the rules, you knew where you stood, your rubbish was collected every tuesday, you gave them a couple of quid at Christmas, and kept em happy. Job done. Now they've got weedy little shites doing it, whinging and whining in case they get their gloves dirty.

Binmen are lazy shites because they look like this and say hi hi to ya
