Nigel’s Favourite Dustbin

On moving into a bijoux riverside apartment we forwent the pleasures of the green and black wheelie bins of our past lives …… and gained the unbridled freedom of the communal bin!

All worries of overfilling and then subsequently not having your wheelie bins emptied because of said overfilling ……  or suddenly remembering, in the middle of the night, that you haven’t put the bins out are no longer a consideration.

So, it can’t really be said that we ever hanker for those dim and distant days now  ………

……. but, from all the bins Nigel has seen in the past year or so in Evesham, this Tommy Cooper one  is his very favourite, and if we had to go back to the wheelie bin system, this is the one he would have, “Just like that!” ……… What is he like?

Just like that! He had some great, and silly, jokes.

"How about the man who went to buy some camouflage trousers? He couldn’t find any."

"Police arrested two kids yesterday, one was drinking battery acid, the other was eating fireworks. They charged one and let the other one off."

"A man walked into the doctor's, he said 'I've hurt my arm in several places'. The doctor said 'well don't go there any more'."

"So I knocked on the door at this bed & Breakfast and a lady stuck her head out of the window and said: 'What do you want', I said, 'I want to stay here'. She said, 'Well stay there' and shut the window."

"I had a ploughman's lunch the other day. He wasn't very happy."

AHA! Mr.D is in fine form!.....did he win a large lottery and he is "letting go???".....who knew wheelie bins are a canvas for such super creativity!!.....I think I would want mine painted to look like a garden with ivy vines meandering up the side; but alas, our wheelie bin is plain old black.....Love you, Dianne
