The Wheelie Bin Race!

[gness]

Our houses in the close have drives sloping quite steeply towards the houses....

My neighbours either side work so I take the bins back in on collection day.

I usually do one at a time but today I discovered that if I place the bins just right where the footpath and drives meet...then run along and tap them....five bins today....they head off down the drives on their own!

Next door's blue bin won today......so....

a) Would it help if I oil the wheels on my bin?
b) Have I too much time on my hands?
c) Am I far too easily amused for a woman of my age?

///Would it help if I oil the wheels on my bin?///

[gness]

//i'd also invest in some go faster stripes // obviously must match the Lycra outfit, perhaps Mrs_O can sew them on, provided she still has some needles left.

that sounds like fun, i cant do that with mine i have to lug them up a step

[Georgiesmum]

You are never too old to be amused gness, im sure you are only a spring chick anyway.
In my case i look in the mirror and see this old witch looking back at me, but in my head im only 18.!!! LOL

[gness]

Just a man would do, Baldric...♥

Think I'll stick to super glue, Slack...safer.....x

I had steps before I moved, Fluff.....blasted bin always went sideways...

GM....candle light and voile over the mirrors works a treat....☺

Be a bookie and set up a cottage industry and have bets on which bin will win

[gness]

Jan...when we have all retired I'll do that....it'll pass a Thursday morning now we don't queue for our pensions....x

[catswhiskas]

Thats brilliant , yes oil the wheels on your bin !

[Baldric]

gness, that was a reference to SD's thread in News! ;-)

[gness]

Oh, Baldric!!! I'm slow...and wish I hadn't been eating a jammy dodger when you reminded me of Dave's thread....!!!!! :-(

I will, Cats.......☺

Good!...☺

[pixie373]

Lol gness! They do go faster if you place a child in them. But remember their safety helmet or it's "irresponsible". Apparently. Xx

[gness]

So....now I need a lot of pensioners to place bets.....and five or six children to put in bins.....no problem....☺

And if you damage the wheels, the council will offer to sell you a new set at a price (elf and safety, can't have the rubbish collectors pulling bins with faulty wheels even if the distance they pull them is less than a metre). We oiled them instead after the threatening notice!
