Are you planning on 'emptying your bins'?

IRC and The Legend of The Unwashed Hand

Nakamura "taking out his own bins" and charles having his "taken out by some burly men". Each to their own.

Are you planning on 'emptying your bins'?

Confused.

I somehow got onto an email list that asks you to fill in questionnaires with the lure of prizes.

It's not spam, but you get a lot of sales calls. I find them easy to fob off, especially if someone else answers the phone!

Well, my train of thought was that not many people can be arsed to fill these things in.

After months of nothing, I was about to give up, but today I got an email saying I've won an Iphone 4s!

Not sure what to do with it as I'm over the moon with my Xperia Play. Mine and my wife's contracts are up next month so we could both save on sim-only contracts if she wants it.

Result!

Went to the supermarket yesterday, and there is a turbo-rapey underpass you have to go through, which is on an incline. Usually there are a bunch of chavs and nogoodniks lurking around this area. At the end of the underpass, there were a load of rocks/slabs of broken stone on the ground. They didn't look like they'd come from nearby. I thought "those chavs have been throwing them from above, trying to kill people as they come out of the tunnel". I shook my head in disgust at the world and went to do my shopping. When I came out of the supermarket, it was hammering down with rain something fierce. When I got back to the underpass, the entrance was flooded because of the incline, and I only bought my shoes the day before! As I got closer, however, I realised that I was saved; chavs hadn't been trying to kill people - someone had laid out the slabs as stepping stones to get across the pool of water safely!

The generosity of people.
I was hosting a Worlds Biggest Coffee Morning in work, ?98 was raised for Macmillan Cancer Support.
Around 3,100 events in Norfolk alone 50% more than last year for the area so well done all involved and all who gave today.

Well done!

This made me smile today: My girlfriend joined the library near to where we've moved . They offered her a choice of library cards, Liverpool, Everton or 'Neutral'.

This envelope I found at my friend's flat:



As if calling it packy wasn't enough, the katakana says 'white packy'. I've asked her to go to an Office Depot or whatever and see if they have a brown packy.

Later on we're on the sofa, I'm giving her a foot massage and did the 'this little piggie' rhyme for a joke. It went like this:

Me: This little piggie went to market, this little piggie stayed at home...
Her: Why?

(at which point I burst out laughing for a good few minutes, told her I don't think anyone's ever asked why he stayed at home, and that it sounds like a dissertation waiting to happen. I recovered and carried on)

Me: This little piggie had roast beef, this little piggie had none...
Her: Naan? Naan bread?

(Laughing again)

Me: ...and this little piggie cried "wee wee wee", all the way home
Her: Did he need to go toilet?

I gave up. I've never seen that rhyme being interrupted so much before.
