Tec even I know who Asterix and Obelisk were, they were a cartoon in the paper every week and got up to all kind's and I was only a nipper when they were in the paper, it's the only part of it I used to read lol.

Allan - that should teach you to wait until the garbologists have been and the bins can think clearly!

Nah, Berona, they are too empty headed then!

Allan

OOH who's swallowed a dictionary this morning ( garbologists ) I can only just say it let alone have thought of it lol.

Diane

I really don't think that one is in the dictionary Diane - but you never know!

Garbologists?

can you get an ology in that?

Berona, Tec,

You are both behind the times.

When I was a student in the late 60's one of the bin-men at the council I was working for won a Churchill Fellowship to study refuse collection overseas.

When the local press interviewed him, he described himself as a garbologist!


Allan

It's a dying art Tec. They aren't the same as the men who juggled the old metal bins on their shoulders, then emptied them manually into the truck.
These days, they ride on the back of the truck and just fix anything when it gets stuck. They can't even move wheelie bins off the road or out of driveways. However, it has created a skill with drivers, like those in my complex, who go to great lengths to avoid knocking them over with their cars, rather than move them out of the way - and if they miss and knock them over - bad luck! They are left there until the owner comes home from work in the evening.

Well I never did!

I shall regard our bin-men in a different light - I usually see them just before dawn

Now it will be "Here come the Garbologists"

AHH Mum is not mad with me ( that's good ) didn't even slap my wrist.

I'm watching road war's, the driver's in these vehicle's being chased are unbelievable the way they drive, can't believe half of them survive when they crash.

Diane

I've got a blue light on my dongle - how good is that?

Tec

Errr, the mind boggles, Tec.

Does it have a siren as well??

Allan

No siren - but you can't have everything

Tec

This dongle, Tec, is it the one with the luminous nose?

Allan

Allan,

I sent for a wireless mouse from Hong Kong via Ebey

When you plug the dongle into USB it lights a rather nice blue

took me by surprise but very nice.

Also buttons on the side to move a page from side to side without scrolling - it was only £4-70p

Tec

Hi Tec,
I know whata dongle is. I had one before I had proper broadband. Leeds are out of the cup.My boss is a Spurs fan!

Pat sorry to hear Leed's are out of the cup hun.

Tec leave your dongle alone lol.

Diane

Hi Pat,
Sorry about the match - but Leeds played so well, what I saw of it.
Now they can concentrate on the league

I expect your boss will be gloating - take no notice

Tec

Diane,

Behave

Tec
