What tyres for my wheelie bin?

colt

It all started about five years ago when the other half said " I'd like a dog".

Off she went to sunnyside kennels and came back with a cute looking terrier cross.

Turns out we didn't even have to pay for her as she was completeley deaf, Awww! poor little thing!

Five years later that poor little thing has eaten...
A pair of Endura liner shorts
2 pairs of my spectacles
Newly fitted skirting boards
Had a chew on the bath panel
The weather bar on my back door (twice)
A newly built model aircraft wing
Numerous socks and shoes
The babys dummys
The kids toys
Chewed a hole through my back gate and then chewed another hole through the board to fix it (again twice!)
and many may more things than I care to remember,

However tonight she has excelled herself, she's just run in the front room, proud as punch with....

The tyre fom my wheelie bin! I mean how long has been working on that, I knew she'd been chewing on it as it wouldn't roll properly anymore, but to completely remove it?.. the little f*@*%#R! :evil:
so forget your pinch flats and ripped sidewalls from rocks over the peaks or slippy tyres on the pebbles at cannock, any suggestions for tyres out there that are terrier proof!??

(P.S Anybody out there want a dog?)

POIDH here to, and how about calling the council for a new bin? (you can get rid of the smell of old bin this way to) Just say it was a stray dog that came one night.

colt

Give me a mo to get the litlle un off to sleep and I'll provide the evidence!

The other half has just confessed (on the way out to the pub!) that apparently its not the first time she's removed it.
Apparently when I heard the dog launching herself at the back door the other night, she had it in her mouth then, eager to show me the fruits of her labour!

I know were not supposed to post whats it worth threads, but any ideas on a 1985 grey wheelie bin,... just waiting for the council bill to drop through the door now :?

Type it into Google, it's about £30 + VAT, so about £40, then it's the council so I'd say well over £200.
To be honest though, they might not charge you, and if they do it might not be that much.

if you tell them that some little oik has stolen your bin they will give you a new one for free, just make sure the old one is out of sight when they bring the new one round!

students nick ours all the time so our council know us quite well

in fact, dogs head facing backward, in bin with rocks and seal with a nail gun and you've solved all your problems 8)

As promised (now the kids have finally gone to sleep!) pictorial evidence

The bin,


The Culprit,


Amazing isn't it? It must have taken her hours to chew through that tyre yet the moment I walk into the house with it she runs off and hides under the table looking all sheepish, I've had to bribe her with a biscuit to sit anywhere near it for the photo.
Bet you it'll be a different story tomorrow though when shes all alone with it!

Now, wheres the councils number.... I've just seen some kids running off with my bin!

Terryg

Haha Sean she's finally got through it, I know the offending dog and knew she would get through it eventually.....

She's eaten virtually everything else in your house :shock:

My friend once put a disposable bbq into his wheely bin, without letting it cool down properly first. Melted a massive hole in the side of it. I think his parents ended up forking out for a new one, something like £50 if I remember correctly.

I'd nip up Cannon raceway in Coseley and get some Go Kart slicks!!

This story will will serve a wonderful reminder to Mrs G about the perils of having a dog. Whenever she's having a bad day I take her up to sunnyside to look at the dogs, its a wonderful cheap day out .

Simple answer, ball peen mallet to the jaw. Shatter the bone, and knock some teeth out. Gummy dog = problem solved.

No offence but your dog looks like a spunk rag

Get some Tioga Factory DH for the wheelie bin. Then when you have put the bin out, take them off, and put in bin.

STEEL WHEELS!
Sell your dog.
Put dog in bin.
Bury dog in garden.

Those are some possible ways of dealing with the issue.

Just got back fom a night ride at cannock, was hoping to find the Beast of Cannock Chase to bring home as a plaything for her, but unfortunateley came home empty handed.

Ha Ha I'll remember that one next time I need an insult, guess that's why we called her Gypsy though

You can also tell her about the time the little 'un opened the front door and the dog making a run for it closely followed by me, anyhow she ran straight out into the road and bam!! she gets hit by a car, must of gone 20ft or so down the road, meanwhile as I've chased her and seen the inevitable collision about to take place I quickly looked away losing my glasses in the process.

Car stops and pulls over to the side and I spoke to the driver and told her it wasn't her fault, kids had opened door blah, blah, blah, so off she goes on her merry way, meanwhile the dog has got up and run off back home, I get back and other than a bald patch and little cut above the eye she seems fine, so off I go in search off my glasses, 10 minutes later I find them in the gutter, and I kid you not , not only has the woman run over the dog she's also squashed my bloody glasses! ( Thats a total of 3 pairs to the dog)

So off I trundle, squashed glasses in hand to find that the dog is now having some sort of fit in the back garden, cue one emergency call out to the vet and an overnight stay for observation.
Next morning and £100 lighter I go to collect her.

Me, "Hi, I've come to collect Gypsy"

Vet," Oh you mean screamer"

Me, "yes ,she can be quite loud"

Vet, " No, No, No, We've had loud dogs in before, never had a dog in that makes my ears bleed though!"

Have I mentioned the barking?

colt

Or the time I flipped at her and tried to show her who was boss with my foot, :evil:

She's a fast little f!@K#r and was quicker than me. :oops:

Newly laid tiles to the kitchen floor standing proud of the floor by 20mm or so, they don't move when you kick em! Must have taken the best part of a year for the bruise to grow out of my big toenail

Marley and me, pah easy! try living with a deaf dog called Gypsy!

You dont need to, I can hear here here in Bushbury

colt

I,m in Pendeford, only 3 miles or so away, so quite possible!

Gazlar

I grew up in Pendeford, my mum and dad still live there

colt

Ha! Ha! The world wide web, amazing how small that world really is!

Grew up on Pendeford myself, in fact they were still building most of it when I moved here.

I've been here 30 years plus now, even buying a house here,.... and now all of a sudden I feel bloody old, :shock: and thinking maybe I need to broaden my horizons a little. :oops:

Gazlar

Snap, well 31 really but I got as far as Bushbury, You didn't go to St Pauls or Pendeford high did ya?

The rest of you talk amongst yorselves while we remenisce

colt

Neither, strangely enough I went to St Chads in Bushbury!

Turning the big 4 O' this year myself and when I look back its quite scary to think just how fast time has flown by!

I like to think I play life quite safe as a rule which is why I never moved far, reckon thats why I enjoy the mountain biking so much, I get to release that little devil inside that says "Go on I dare you ! " :twisted:

Just been watching the new black runs on the Monkey on You Tube, knowing how It all seems to look easier on video when someone else is riding it I might have to get a bit of medical insurance first though!

You tried them yet?

colt

Lol ! Just noticed,

did ya?

I edited mine from "Go on I dare ya!"

to," Go on I dare you!"

Maybe I should just stick to my Wolverhampton roots, no need ta speak proppa afta all!

Gazlar

Not done the big rocky downhill bit, too severe for me that is, I'm like you, I like my biking, but I also like to live to ride another day
