Customized Wheelie Bin

Tealeaf · 01-10-2003, 09:47

I'm going to customize my wheelie bin, but before I do I need to check that I'm not inadvertently copying anyone elses bin.

It's going to be painted bright orange and blue polka dot and I'm going to stick some wings on the side and a big set of antlers on the lid. Does anyone know if this might interfere with the lift and dump mechanism on the back of the bin lorry? I don't want to cause any inconvieniance for our binmen.

All advice gratefully appreciated

sounds good to me. But im sure the council would have something to say about that.Maybe everyone should do it

I'm also thinking of painting a picture of Kylie Minnogues bum on the front.

I dont think this will go down well with the council as they still own the bins.
they are not yours

What do you mean - they're not mine? If it's not mine, then I can't be fined for not leaving it out at the wrong time, can I? If it's the councils, why don't they do something to encourage brightening up the place instead of providing us with these monotonous gray monstosities.....have an annual "Wheelie bin in bloom competition" or something similar...lets add a bit of colour. Anyway, it's too late...I've already completed the undercoat.

I must admit they could have got a better color the ones in Liverpool are purple ;D

I think Hyndburn Council got the bins from North Korea

You really like Orange don't you tealeaf? same as your ceiling (not that I'd know first hand...)
Don't hthink Kylie's bum would go down too well, she's getting on a bit, go for a younger one if you ask me - what about Megan Gale's?

Tealeaf · 01-10-2003, 13:27

Who?

Jo · 01-10-2003, 13:55

I thought you might ask - wasn't sure if she was famous in England or not. Megan Gale is an Australian BABE - she does all teh Vodophone adverts in Italy. Try www.vodaphone.it or www.omnitel.it or something like that and you might see her, she's really nice.....  :P

Is she an aboriginal?

Jo · 01-10-2003, 14:18

no, she's half Italian and half Oz. Think she's ab-Sicilian to be precise.

Tealeaf · 01-10-2003, 14:26

I know her cousin, ab sailing

Does anyone know how to repair a hole in a wheelie bin?

Jo · 01-10-2003, 14:30

With a pen dear Tealeaf, dear Tealeaf, dear Tealeaf, with a pen, dear Tealeaf. dear Tealeaf a pen.

ps. does Megan's backside get a place on your wheelie bin now you've seen her?
Was going to say leave the hole in that case, but maybe Roy with censor me (rightly so!) ;D
