Oh my goodness what wonderful and informative posts.
So nice to see Scribbles back on track.
We just needed a topic, and I am sorry that you don’t drive Jem, but you don’t miss what you have never had.

So moving on and pairs or pears.:mrgreen:

I have a pair twins
They never empty bins
The rubbish we collect
Is more each week I bet
What happened to the days
One bin for all, amazed?
A little tin thing out the back
Not even lined with a black sack
Now we have a few too chose
Be careful which one you use
They even have those little wheels
A little bin, for all the peels
The garden on is big and green
They charge to empty, that is mean
We make more rubbish I am sure
The rag and bone man is no more
So I end this tale of tat
Take the bins out, that’s a fact

Sometimes there is a dilemma, enough rope, and the length of a piece of string, is it best to focus on chord progression.

13024

Just nipped back to say Goodnight Possums. X

13025

Goodnight Sweetie, no complication tonight.

13026

No Spitty.
Good Night. X

CHORD progression,spitty? Y’mean like ‘D-C-G’ in 4-4 rock rhythm,bro???

13028

Someone is flippin’ fast, someone is flippin’ thorough, someone is flippin’ smart.
You know what Spitty? you’ve flippin’ convinced me.;-):slight_smile:
I just love the little blue Lizard in that ad.:smiley:

Gummy’s machine must be broke, I advised him to change his computer years ago, it’s a very old one but he’s very attached to it and won’t part with it, this is the last screen shot he sent me. ;-):slight_smile:

Well done Sweetie, I’ll second all you say there (bins)

Dear God, I know I must pay for my sins
But why inflict me with so many council bins?
There’a a green one, for plastic and paper they say
And a brown one for waste food and clay
Then a black one to put the general trash
Plus a blue box for cinders and cigar ash.
In days of old we had only one bin
Where you just threw everything in
Now you must wash bottles and check every wrap
I’ve a pain in me arse with all this crap.:wink:

Met a friend of mine on the way home from my walk this morning, he was never the full shilling God help him, he had a patch over his left eye.
“What’s with the patch Dan? Have you got a sore eye?”
“No Jem, me eye is alright, I’m trying to give up smoking”

Maybe he has a point, out of sight out of mind.:wink:

The wife and me are off the daughters place tonight for a birthday party, see you all tomorrow.:slight_smile:

The thing about having many bins,
it helps ease ecology sins.
For too long we’ve mined oil
and stripped trees down to soil,
as some billionaire watches and grins.

So ok,it’s a bit of a 'mare,
remembering which crap goes where.
But when your grandchildren play
or look at you and say,
‘Thank you’,they’ll remember you care.

Because this rock is all that we’ve got.
…and plastic-as you know-doesn’t rot.
We’ve stripped forests of trees
and brought lands to their knees,
but do the rich care? Not one jot!

As a consequence icebergs dissolve,
which gives mankind a problem to solve.
Do we cease plastic use
and planetary abuse;
or do we leave it to our kids to resolve?

Well; a start,is separation bins.
It’s a small price to pay for our sins.
If you mutter abuse
at different wheely-bin use,
then ok;put your jars with your tins.

But just remember-they’re YOUR grandkids you’re saving;
without fighting dragons,or raving
about ‘‘What I did in the war’’
or ‘‘Terrors I saw’’
…in fact,it’s just GRAND,the way you’re behaving.

Because you’re trying to save this,our planet
Which proves your heart’s not made of granite.
you’ll save Polar Bears and Bitterns
and seal-cubs and kittens…
[plus you’ll get fan-mail from Gannets]

So,HAIL!,to you people who’re finding it tough
to remember what bin actually takes what stuff.
You are,at least,trying,
knowing our planet’s dying,
SO let’s all work together and hope it’s enough!

What a brilliant post Pugsy. xxxx

13033

REALLY? Do you really MEAN that,SP?

…I ask merely because I’d got back from getting this eye-patch [which I’m informed I need for at least a week-ARRRH]
and sat here,started this thing [it’s my HP Windows 7 lappy…dunno why,but I just prefers it a thousandfold,over that Apple thing] and,as my espresso pot was heating,that just ‘came to mind’,darling.

13034

Plastic deposits to earth may seem cruel
But, In eventual decomposition, may become somethings Fuel.

13035

Of course I do Pugsy, you daft thing. X

What about safety deposits?

13036

Good Night Possums. X

13037

Spitty-the average time for plastic to biodegrade into usable mass [ie;fertiliser] is 450 years. For plastic cups,it’s less,but for fishing-line,it’s a LOT more. So by the time the billions of tons of plastic currently in use become usable,mankind as a species will be long vanished,bro…thus,no need for it.

13038

Good Afternoon Possums.
Dreams are weird sometimes, I was discussing this with my hubby earlier, then my BIL, then a few more joined in.

I know I was dreaming about the trouble I went through to get my new car last night, apparently, I shouted out in my sleep RIGHT!!!
Any ideas on that?:lol:

13039

Brilliant piece of work there Pug (post 13031), most impressive, you should flog that to the powers that be, much better than the heavy tactics and threats they use to win our hearts and minds in the war against plastic and pollution.:wink:

And yes of course you’re right, we are a selfish lot.

Sweetie, I would say that in your dream you had arrived at the end of a road in your new car, you were not familiar with the area and you had to make a decision whether to turn right or left, you chose RIGHT.

That would suggest to me that you have a decision to make regarding a journey in the near future. :slight_smile:

Yazz and the Plastic Population.

13041

Of course when plastic first arrived on the domestic scene it was the ultimate material, and indeed it is a great material when managed properly and disposed of in a sensible way, however everyone jumped on the bandwagon, glass bottles were replaced, a very bad move considering how many millions of folks used them every day, they regret that move today are are trying to reinstate the glass returnable bottles, plastic cups and bottles resulted in over production of plastics with nobody concerned giving two hoots how the product was to be safely disposed of, bad management again, ending up as a huge problem for us all, and it will take us all to put it right, if we ever can.
(sorry if that sounds like preaching, it’s not meant to, but I have seen this coming and I’ve grown to hate plastic now) Bring back rubber!!!:smiley:

I can remember when rubber was king
They used to put rubber in everything
From tyres to toys, even rubber bands
And rubber gloves that covered the hands
Rubber brakes on bikes to make you stop quick
And a little bit on the end of your walking stick.

I liked the ‘Rubber Era’, I remember I had a toy rubber police car with NYPD printed on the side of it, impossible to break it hard as I tried. Eventually cracks developed in the rubber and when it was left out in the garden to confront the elements it just sort of decomposed itself.

And now, Bobby Vee, bouncing his rubber ball merrily away.:slight_smile:
