2 bins vs two post boxes. each with two variants. i applaud its symmetry
suggestion box and bin combo
plenty of room for improvement

commercial garbage only

The fish looks really sad and makes me want to rescue him.
ycles only
nice how they stopped the double yellas to fit the words. i think i took this photo along with the one below during our last full day in the UK when we went out for a walk with our fanatic friends tony and tanya.
great friends. great days. great road markings. great country.
UPDATE: My great friend Andy from back in the UK wanted to leave a comment, but they are broken so he sent it by text message instead !
He wanted to say "bin and gone" which is inspired and much better than my title ! Thanks Andy
recycling friendship
look at this chap trying to muscle in on his friends.
what's inside a bin
inside those street bins is another more sinister wheely bin. it's like the darleks and their gloopy body thing.
soggy wales
no sooner had we gone across the welsh border and we knew this was going to be a wet holiday. it was also at this point i realised that my photos weren't going to reveal the extent of the rain, so you'll mostly just have to take my word for it.
here is a bin with an abandoned brolly. possibly dumped there by someone leaving the country.

various people braved the elements to walk their soggy dogs.
twin bins
one for dogs, one for people ?
have you seen this bin ?
this sign is lovely. i suspect it might be slightly tongue in cheek (since it was no-where near Greenwich). It says (with extra apostrophes):
Have you seen this bin.Substantial reward offered for information leading to it's return
On the 26th July this wheelie bin was heinously stolen from a house in Greenwich by people who obviously have absolutely no respect for the feelings of others. If you have any information about it's whereabouts please call the number below. You CAN make a difference.
CALL [number] - in the strictest confidence
things in the bin
i rarely take pictures of things in bins, and i don't think i've ever taken a picture *from* a bin. but i thought this was interesting. it's 20 checkout till rolls balanced.
lolly shaped bin
it's a funny sort of logic that makes a company want to make bins in the shape of the very product they are trying to sell you. Buy a twister, you'll love it so much you'll throw it away.
at least it's acknowledging it's junk food or something.
royal mail
this is confusing. it's a royal mail bin. dressed up to look like a post box. standing next to a postbox.
perhaps it's a trainee post box ?
blog turbulence subsiding
the server turbulence is gradually subsiding. let me know if you spot any weirdies.
the great bin men convoy
there was a really long convoy of bin men walking down this street.
so many i needed to take two separate photos and still didn't get the last 2 bins at the back
grin and bin
i hadn't been to a dentist for about 15 years, but i finally went last week. as expected there was much poking about and i had to have some x-rays done so the next plan of action could be agreed.
yesterday i went for a spit and polish which was not particularly pleasant, but not as bad as i'd feared.
the dentist man let me take a photo of the x-ray which was kind. you can even see my missing front tooth (or not)
usually by reading someone's blog you can build a mental picture of them. in my case you can build a physical picture too with these teeth and my spine bottom
past possessive
i love this sign. it's been very nicely produced and laminated. it's states it thing (with four exclamation marks !!!!) and even offers advice to would be bin fillers as to how they can find their OWN bin service.
why have i called this item 'past possessive' ? because 'bin' is past tense of 'being' and they are being very possessive of their bins.
bin lifting lorry from north carolina, USA
i got a very excited email from Mark a few weeks back telling me all about his local bin men. i asked for photographic evidence and here it is ! (i created the animation, so it's probaldy not as quick as this in reality)

the sound of bins
a lot of people ask me what bins sound like, especially at christmas.
Here's a sound clip of a mini-explosion (a lorry dropping something i think) and some nice christmas music
cleaning and curling
curling is a funkypancake sport. not because i'm good at it though, because i'm not.
look at his utility bin.
beyond brushes, which are an essential part of the game, you also get to wear the most fantastic shoes.
initially they looked like normal trainers:
but you can pull the rubber bottom off (called a 'kipper') and reveal a super-slippy teflon sole, enabling you to whizz about on the ice like a mad thing
and look at all the other gadgets and gizmos you can get:
who pushed the chairs over ?
i suspect it was these three chaps
the beauty and the bins
look at this bin. it's holding a bouquet of flowers. but why ?
it's trying to woo the bin on the other side of the road
and here's looking from the other side
the bin site-seeting tour
i messed the contrast up on this picture so you couldn't see the bins in the foreground. after some random fiddling in Photoshop i ended up with this very strange effect, which i quite like. no idea what i did.
the bin menders
these guys are bin mending specialists. they came out to rescue these falled bins and replace their wheels. the masked hero kneeling down is welding the bin back to health.
i witnessed the whole thing out my office window.
bucket with a purple towel
it's a bucket by a bin. it's got a purple towel in. and a lady in the background has a purple jacket. spooky or what ?
specialised bins
here are two slightly seperate strange things in the same bin complex.
see how specialised these bins have become. this bin is only for Beans on Toast. which makes me think that the Beans on Toast people haven't had a good day
and then this chap appears to be in a bin, but he wasn't.
jaunty bin
here is a jaunty bin sent by vin. it's vin's bin. vin's jaunty vin.
it is very good ! you might need to click it for the big version to get the full effect.
the bins
this bin appears to be on his way to work with his briefcase under his arm:
whilst this one was trying to sell me his telly:
"i bought this thing, but i haven't got any eyes, and i've already got a radio, so i wondered if you'd be interested in buying it sir ?" were his exact words
what a lot of bins
a walk in the park:
upsway down (bin headstand):
heading back home:
only squares visit dirt piles:
