Come on Harry ! there's a few more spaces on the top board not taken by you and your personas.
In some ways, your wheelie bin and that top board are very similar... they both full of your rubbish

"Should we be vegetarians for the sake of less smelly bins?"
Diane D, Oldham, United Kingdom
No. It's a well-known (albeit unpopular) fact that vegetarians smell. They are more flatulent (also adding to climate change problems) and have smellier breath than normal people.

Labour - most useless government we have ever had and the dishonesty is appalling
Conservatives - pretty much as bad as labour, David Camerons hug a hoodie campaign forced me to hang my head in shame
Liberals - bunch of nobodies
UKIP - bunch of nobodies
BNP - Rascist thugs

David my dear boy - heaven forefend you should think me a cynic but I beleive that, upon ocassion, politicians, even local politicians, have a tendency to say one thing and do another.

"Odd how it is PC to say this about recycling, but not for immigration.

Two points, harry - first, are you comparing immigrants to rubbish?!
Second, congratulations on making this debate about immigrants. Truly impressive... ;0)

This is an abominable situation propagated by the "it's not our fault" public sector who are always in denial when confronted by a problem they have caused.
The solution?
Less money spent on bureaucratic jobs
More money spent paying paddy to clear the waste
Easy peasy lemon squeazy. Next.

"So where will your rubbish go when there are no more landfill sites available? We live on an island. Space is limited. This is a very real problem.
Chris Renton,
Odd how it is PC to say this about recycling, but not for immigration.
[harold-flashman]"
That's because immigrants are human beings and not pieces of waste plastic. So, no, it's not odd at all that they ought to be treated rather differently. Unless you are also proposing that we incinerate or bury immigrants.

As a side issue, if we need 100 extra houses a day for immigrants, does this mean more rubbish produced?

The point of the post would seem to be that reading the worst of HYS is disturbing as it highlights HYS posters' least appealing qualities. ie lack of logic, warmth, knowledge or consistency.

You're right of course. Basically my lamentable immaturity has only one goal... the spiraling ascension of H.F's blood pressure.
I know it's pathetic, but you see... I can't help it... it's so terribly terribly easy that I can't resist it.

Soory in all the excitement at meeting Mr Spoonbujett in line I forget what I needed to say....

I would suggest that you find your nearest paper mill at paper.org.uk and write to the HR director.

"We moaned when our rubbish collection was reduced to 2 weeks, but we figured that if you can't beat 'em, join 'em - we now recycle pretty much everything and only have one or two bags of rubbish to put out. It's also encouraged us to be green in other ways (e.g. buying local produce, using energy saving light bulbs) so really everyone's a winner.

"What this "recycle" twaddle actually means is, I have to dispose of my own rubbish, but will I see a reduction in council tax, will I balls!!
I think I'll take all the paper/carboard/spare tyres/green campaigners and burn them every week in the back yard and hopefully put as much CO2 into the atmosphere as possibly.
L Evans, Birmingham, United Kingdom"
That's got to be more effort than just putting recyclable stuff into a different bin?

I've said it before and I'll say it again;
Lazy fat kids, if put to proper use, could alleviate 30-40% of residential rubbish if you just let them eat it.
The rest we can dump in the sea.

I suppose it is like many other things which you have been wrong about Tre Cool, like the Police in the Avon.
BTW I am not Widuran.
leftwing lefty,
I am not Chicken Noodles or Buddist Monk.
You are not Widuran and yet you both persist in flogging the dead horse over the Avon police.
They did discriminate and even Philby is happy to admit they did. He just doesn’t care.
Take a lesson from your mentor.
Hope I do get to vote, but as a Presiding Officer, I will be very busy that day.

Yes Widuram, I own a very open prison - the Smyth-Davies' occupy the closest "cell" to mine, a little over 2.5 of the Queens Imperial Miles away if one travels by a British designed & built V8 4 x 4.
Confused indeed.

You are confused, I am not Widuran or leftwing lefty. Also does distance change by the type of vehicle?
Do fortnightly collections boost recycling rates?
Methinks a spot of civl disobedience may be called for: On weeks that councils fail to collect refuse perhaps it should be dumped on the town hall steps - and refuse to pay any fines thus incurred (There's a shortage of prison spaces anyway).
Robert Sharr,
Theres never a shortage of prison spaces for anything to do with tax, Its just peadophiles and rapists that go free?

OK 4C - Well done on very busy days bickering.
The Memsahib and I are off to Bavaria (yes Philby the home of your favourite party) for a few days. Must admit, having miss-spent much of my youth singing the "Runway Song" on the North Bank the prospect of Munich Airport worries me a little - ho hum... will just have to hope what goes around does'nt always come around.
Have fun children - missing you all ready.

WRONG!
In 4WD driving force is directed towards 4 tyres. In 4WD the traction of all 4 tyres supports the engine's torque - at each powered tyre has to deal only with 25% of the torque created by engine, transmission, transfer case, and axle.

Hello Chicken Noodles and Buddhist Monk.I am afraid your non recycling friend was found guilty of the crime and unfortunately paid the price. I have read elsewhere on HYS that this isn't the first time he did this.I suppose it is like many other things which you have been wrong about Tre Cool, like the Police in the Avon.You have a chance in a few weeks to vote in your favourite people locally I hope you use your vote wisely. BTW I am not Widuran.
Councils that have switched to fortnightly rubbish collections achieve higher recycling rates, a study has suggested.
It shows an average recycling rate of 30% for these councils, compared with 23% for those that still had weekly collections.
Fortnightly collections have been highly criticised as people have complained about bad smells, maggots and vermin.
Are fortnightly collections the best way to get people to recycle their waste? Are you willing to put up with bad smells for the sake of the environment? Send us your views.
