Biked it through town today quite early on the way somewhere else...

 

They badly need to engage the services of a Pied Piper.

 

Littering is bad enough but cunts chucking away food/takeaways onto the street when they've had their fill want locking in a coffin full of 'em (rats).

Shame he won't see through his vision of the roads and avenues of the borough turned into picturesque canals to rival Venice...

GET THE FUCKING GRIDS UNBLOCKED YOU INEPT CUNTS!

If you've got a blocked grid, get a broom handle and rattle it around in it. Soon gets the flow going. Done it loads of times; an easy fix.

Why the fuck should I do it, TMGJ (not shouting at you btw :))? But, buying into Cameron's 'big society' (motto - 'you best do it 'cause we fucking won't'), I've tried the old yardbrush, no dice, I even sullied my drain rods (usually reserved for doing my Dick Van Dyke impression) and screwhead attachment - again no joy...

 

The whole brew's grids are blocked, the road is literally a small, shallow wide brook when it pisses down - no-one else seemingly gives a fuck, but my gaff is where the land levels out :(

Sprinkle cat litter around to soak up the moisture

In an ideal world you shouldn't have to.

But in fairness, when I was shifting shit for a living, there wasn't enough of us to completely sort such issues at this time of year (leaves). Much worse now following cuts.

Additionally cars parked over grids can prevent access and cunts chucking litter makes it worse.

 

I understand your sentiments, but there's often a problem just up the road from me, it floods and makes driving awkward.

You see cars queueing to get through and it causes a backlog.

I've cleared it on several occasions; can either stamp my feet and moan or just spend a minute sorting it.

 

If the grid is completely solid, then fair enough - just call it in.

 

Its ultimately a question of what level of services you want and how much are you prepared to pay for it.

Then it becomes a political matter.

They don't even give a fuck about their own properties - the wind had corralled most of the leaves around Bolton One into a neat four foot high pile in a corner of the building - nae cunt shifts it in three days and another windy spell disperses it again...

 

They have some empty offices near Clough's Opticians, a mate had a look - when they finally pulled their fingers out fucking aeons after his initial enquiry and follow-ups, he said they were ridiculously overpriced and shabby - almost as if they didn't really want to let them out. I used to walk past same building every day, the alarm on the place was going off for about two weeks solid.

 

If I were King I'd fucking sack the lot of them from Clifford down, the decent ones could re-apply, one job per family, no more nepotism.

I'd be quite happy to have politics out of local government. Stopping intelligent, quality employees from undertaking their work in an optimum fashion because of politics, is plain wrong.

 

Your example about Bolton one illustrates my point re staff, though I'd be curious to know whether the centre has a site manager who should be insuring such things are dealt with.

I cut the grass verges in front of our house, next door and the owd couple next door but one, takes me about 10/15 mins a fortnight and time it just before the council wallahs come with their heavy machinery damaging the edgings, churning up the borders and leaving grass cuttings everywhere.

 

They've sussed it now and leave ours alone. We have nicely trimmed front borders and the cuttings go in the green bin to be taken away rather than tramping through the house.

 

Yeah it's something the council is paid to do (or at least outsourced contractors if it's the case) to do if I wanted to a pedant and moan but their way leaves the place looking like a tip.

 

I see it as akin to donkey stoning your front step years ago to make the street look nice.

If the only thing going into the pot is the corn and spices, does it need to be cleaned after each individual purchase?

 

Genuinely interested as I'm thinking of getting some tomorrow.

Sweetcorn is shite, quite literally, you shat the majority of it out undigested, like with Midget Gems, but at least they're tasty to eat in the first place (proper 'uns with black liquorice) but sweetcorn? What's the point, I'll eat it out of politeness, if someone serves it up, but all I'm thinking as I'm eating is 'what's the point?'

What the fuck is donkey stoning?

 

<goes to urban dictionary>

Housewives would procure a donkey stone (it had a donkey on it) off the rag and bone man in exchange for a bundle of rags or bones - they'd then do their doorstep with it twice weekly or be considered a whore by all their fellow housewife neighbours.

My local council (Rossendale) empty our brown bin (grass cuttings etc) once a fortnight from 1st March to 30th November. As from next March, if we want it emptying, it's £35 a time.

Generally correct. Not considered whores rather bone idle fuckers with no pride in their home.
