Separated at birth?

Having the different bins is just ceremony.
Yes, a mucky, time wasting, annoying ceremony - and it's this that makes me so infuriated because it's a barrier to anyone who is just slightly lazier than me. I've never once in ten years seen anyone else from our block recycle anything - it makes me feel like such a mug!

If pretending to be homeless by acting it out for a night is somebody's way of campaigning for the homeless, then the equivalent for HIV or disability is... ?

you tell me? It wouldn’t occur to me to toss those into a discussion about hating-on-ways-to-help-the-homeless.

According to somebody I know who used to work in waste management, various service companies would be fine operating a centralised waste separation service but the unions and other groups try to block this due to concerns for whether it is acceptable to pay somebody minimum wage and get them to sort trash all day every day. It's a popular view that this sort of work is "inhuman".
Meanwhile, in a waste processing plant (hidden in a mountain) that I know in Switzerland, workers manually separate waste in return for £20ph.

Ah! Interesting. I always imagined everything, well, plastics and glass, metals, going in to a big steam cleaner before being sorted by some machinery and then by hand anyway. I have no issue with separating recyclable stuff from garbage, I do have issue with separating the types of recycling and then being forced to post each individual item through a tiny slot. Anyway.
Manual sorting inhuman? Well...yeah, maybe, but... a job's a job.

And in my view it doesn't need to be a shit job if you pay well and provide enough breaks and development opportunities.

Also driving back. Hate all these new fancy brake lights in stupid shapes and those moving indicating lights that strobe to left or right.

It's not my argument, you just said you didn't understand his point.

I did some disability awareness training at a supermarket job when I were a student.
The most memorable one was being blindfolded and led round to learn us not leave restocking trolleys and boxes littering the aisles. We did deaf too but that just reinforced the policy of showing a customer to where the product they were asking for was, leaving your restocking trolley littering the aisle while you were gone for some poor blind person to collide with.
I suppose HIV awareness training would be to lead a perfectly normal life using medication to control the virus. -

i love this and regularly find my self singing it while cycling.
I'd like a good drum and bass remix better though. -

Yeah! Why do I find it so depressing? It’s the sound of what will inevitably be an awkward twenty minutes.

Nokia ringtone for me. Any cunt who doesn't change that to something else as soon as they get the phone is a cunt.

Belfast city council has a 3 bin system and the recycling lorries have 5 bins. They use a non profit company to do the recycling runs where I am.
So it does get hand sorted at the kerb. And I've had a stern note at some point for not doing it right... :)

People using gym lockers with no padlocks which means I have no idea which ones are taken.
Perhaps I should swap over some locker contents for fun and to make a point :)

It could be less awkward if you just put some clothes on...
Is there a bin for that music as well?
