Brown bins (can't find old thread)

Well, unlike the rest of you, we quite fancied a brown bin, so we called them and whined that we want one 'cos everyone else's got one and it's not fair!

Buit we can't have one. Apparently, they only have normal sized bin wagons to empty them. And apparently normal sized bin wagons aren't allowed in our street. So we can't have one. This seems blatantly unfair to me - I think we should have a council tax reduction for living in a street that's too small.

Street probably big enough for speed bumps tho. (Couldn't find that thread)

Actually, no, as far as I'm aware we're not getting speed bumps, in spite of being a rat run.

Grumble grumble. Gonna get myself a pipe and slippers and learn how to shake my fist next.

Actually this rant was just an excuse for me to get to 1000 posts.

I suspect noneof us are going to look at Brown bins quite the same again after this Boney M alteration.

She looks like a sugar in a plum
Plum plum

All had water run dry
Got nowhere to wash my cloths

Got nowhere to wash my cloths

I remember one Saturday night
We had fried fish and Johnny-cakes

You forgot the bit about having sh*t on your shoe (or was it your hand?) and not being able to wash it off.

Porty - should that not have been posted on the 'Misheard Lyrics' thread?

That song was banned in my friend Alan's house by his mum. Because it contained the line "show me your motion". And in his house when you did a poo, it was called a "motion". Did we ever giggle.
