B0B Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 I would just like to say our bin men rule So I put out the wrong bin... Bank holiday f**ks everything up Sitting in the front room I see one of the bin guys walking down our side ally takes the bin... Empties it then puts it back down the ally WTF that's proper old skool I haven't see that for a very long time . Normally it's can't be f**ked on to the next house... And then they normally leave the bins at the top of the road So just brought home a fresh supply of chocolate from the factory yesterday ..... Gave them a box of 40 snickers and 5 x 290g minstrel pouches Very happy bin men You are a gentlemen sir. You may have gone a tad overboard with your gift but you can pretty much guarantee that if you ever forget to put your bin out or go away on holiday they will remember for you At least my crew would/do.

B0B Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 Ps it's also worth asking them if they would collect heavy/bulky items like old sofas, mattresses and the like in exchange for chocolate You'd be surprised what the compactor on the back can handle Mr Xen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M3NXN Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 Good bricks them, a reclamation yard might buy them off you. They average 60p each on resale so even if you only get half that it'll still add up Mr Xen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TriggerFish Posted May 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 Agreed with Max here! I usually hate Coke/Pepsi, but it's one place in life is with rum. Fruit juices belong with vokda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxtek Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 Coke & Rum is alright. Orange juice & Vodka is horrible! I usually drink Vodka with KX (that cheap energy drink), can't stand the taste of Monster anymore. Soda water with lime is quite nice with Vodka too, as is Pink Lucozade!

TriggerFish Posted May 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 Orange juice & Vodka is horrible! That's my staple drink! All those energy drinks are terrible, the smell alone is enough to put me off, let along the actual taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxtek Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 Please forgive me! It still tastes horrible! Those energy drinks are the only things that take most of the kick of the Vodka away. I only tend to drink Vodka to get very drunk, otherwise I'll drink something I thoroughly enjoy, like Stella! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
