@Nora, I need an explanation as to why my keyboard is wet:

Llamedos,

You my friend don't know the real story. This is one of several feral wheelie bins that roam around the city. Their ancestors were given as babies to children around the Easter holidays by irresponsible parents. After a while the children got bored with them and flushed them down the toilet, where they grew up and bred by the hundreds. Over the years they would only leave the sewers at night, feeding on cats and the occasional homeless person.

Long story short, the city took actions into their own hands to control the population of the feral bins. Right now their numbers are highly regulated and are compensated for their actions by given stray cats (and children) for supper during the holidays. They generally can take care of themselves, usually found along the riverside.

A terribly distressing tale which just goes to show that bins need proper licensing and full adoption papers instead of just being handed out nilly-willy to the Great Unwashed by incompetent 'councils'.

Untrained feral bins are a dangerous menace and I'm not surprised you stayed in your car..
I apologise.

^^no problem. Unless you have a trained eye, sometimes it hard to tell the difference between a feral bin and a runaway. I've studied both before, some runaways strive to be feral. Even if the owners have had them spayed or neutered.

I noticed the Bin dressed as a R2 unit had some type of cardboard codpiece? Could this be a prophylactic for bins? Does it also function for recycleing bins knowing their trade is in the card board and other recyclables?

Anyone working this into a Wikipedia entry?

Recently spotted feral bins (also seems to be a UK problem too)

Valentine's Day is coming up. Shall we try to find a "valentine" wheelie? Make your wheelie bin feel the love -- dress him/her up! Wink

And bart the red one you just posted doesn't count. Needs to look like a proper valentine!

^ Found a valentine-ish wheelie bin, only problem is that it's not a full length photo so the wheels aren't on show. I'll post it in the PWT so as to stay on topic Wink

But, lookie here at what I did find:

Don't recall seeing a purple wheelie bin posted before and those ones above aren't sightseeing in Liverpool, they are the actual wheelie bins that lucky Liverpudlians have. I am envious. I want a purple wheelie bin!

^^ Now that is a wheelie bin I'd like. Purple is my favorite color. Wonder if I sprayed mine purple if the garbage guys would mind!

Nary a one of ya can come up with one as purdy, protected and loved as mine,

Is there prizes and what are we showing next? Laughing

^^I'm considering a diaper genie thread but worried that would be a little too exclusive.

Unless they make adult diaper genies.

@Corona, srsly? A step stool and a bird house thingie? And no wheels in evidence? Does your wheelie bin have no shame? Do you?

I dread what will happen next. Razz

Bravo, bring on the new thread. We'll need it.

Laughing

Don't tell me that I'm going to get it out, take pic to prove it has wheels...what will Lovey and the neighbors think??? Laughing

The bird house is rotted on the bottom and fell out of the tree, could not throw it away, it is a bird's house and I did not know what else to do other than rebuild it. You can't rebuild a house with birdies in it. Surprised

The thingie behind it is not a steep stool, it is a little iron bed and I was going to make some sort of trellis with it, (5yrs. ago!) Laughing

Btw, I have no diaper genie and I refuse to be lurking around at others.. Laughing

Corona please don't take this the wrong way my dear but when I first saw the photo I thought it was of some sort of hastily reinforced chemical toilet for use in a nuclear fallout shelter after the 4 minute warning had sounded.

^^I'm with the Arawana (is that what you are, Esox?). Alas, I have no bins with wheels, and the pic of my "wheelie cool" cooler was immediately mocked. I'll be in the fake banks forum if you need me. Crying or Very sad

edited because I can't type from all the tears.
