I wish the local cats could put their own shit in my bin.1

You wouldn’t want to come near my bin it’s full of bags of cat sh*t that I’ve cleaned out of the litter tray in the garage. Long gone are the good times when they used to sh*t in the neighbours garden.

Another one to get the discussion going: people who think the state pension is a pension scheme and not a welfare benefit.

Try claiming a pension without first making the contributions.rick_chasey said:Another one to get the discussion going: people who think the state pension is a pension scheme and not a welfare benefit.
The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

It's not going into a "pot". It's no different to any other benefit.0 -
Do you think i'll be able to claim for a new fence from my national insurance ?rick_chasey said:Another one to get the discussion going: people who think the state pension is a pension scheme and not a welfare benefit.

No. A team in a van that follows the collection lorries with high pressure hoses etc and clean out those who's bins are paid for. They seem to manage.First.Aspect said:
Do they come in a big truck that does it all without the driver needing to even get out of the cab?pblakeney said:

Well I wouldn't want dog censored smeared in it, if I could possibly help it.kingstongraham said:If you're worried about a wheelie bin being dirty, you need to have a cup of tea.
As an aside there are companies in rhe US that come round and clean and disinfect them.

A friend of mine has a company that does this, makes a decent living out of it. I've never really understood the need unless you have a tiny garden / yard and the bins are right by your door.pblakeney said:

The way I read the comment was that if you don't want people leaving it in trees you should accept them putting it in your bin. For me, neither is acceptable. I manage to clean up after two dogs, one of which is pretty large, without resorting to leaving it in trees or someone else's bin. My dogs, my responsibility.kingstongraham said:You all need to stop using your wheelie bins for anything
If dog censored in a bin offends you the same amount as dog censored in a tree, then I think you need a cup of tea.Pross said:
Why should either annoy him less? If I walk my dog somewhere that doesn't have bins for me to use the bagged waste comes back in the car with me until I find a public bin or until I can put it in my own.shirley_basso said:

I also wouldn't want people putting dog-censored in my bin.
The bags full of dog-censored that people think is fine to hang off branches in trees etc also boils my p1ss.
I do wish there were more bins in public car parks when I take the dogs out (it would be better for avoiding litter too) but ultimately why should the likes of the National Park or Forestry Commission have to spend time and money emptying bins? If someone has taken an animal or product with them that creates waste then they should be prepared to take that waste home with them. Too many people feel the world owes them something.0 -
What if someone picked it out of a tree, as that's gross, and put it in your bin as it's the nearest one?0

Just put it in someone else's bin, it's better than it going in your car. HTH.Pross said:

Why not pick it out of a tree and put it in their own bin or a public bin? If a job's worth doing etc.shirley_basso said:What if someone picked it out of a tree, as that's gross, and put it in your bin as it's the nearest one?

Yeahbut if you don't pay enough N.I. you don't get a pension.rick_chasey said:NIC is a tax. It's not a pension contribution.

Same goes for unemployment benefit. It's not a pension scheme. It's a benefit for old people.pblakeney said:

They're not keeping your money in a fund until the day you retire. The state pension is paid out of the tax take.

As Blakey has said, you need to pay in to get it. If it was welfare you'd get it regardless.rick_chasey said:Another one to get the discussion going: people who think the state pension is a pension scheme and not a welfare benefit.

That's because government is only interested in the next 4-5 years and run these things inefficiently. General taxation is not how it is described or meant to be.rick_chasey said:

Think of it as doing your bit for society and helping fellow citizens keep the street clean.rick_chasey said:
Good practice to deal with your own rubbish.kingstongraham said:
In your wheelie bin outside the house? I assume he didn't come in and put it in your kitchen bin.rick_chasey said:Just caught a guy, who, after his dog shat in front of my house, decided to put the sh!t bag in my bin.
By the time I got out to explain not very politely why he was as bad as the thing he put in my bin, he was too far down the road. FFS
Can you explain to me why that's so bad?
I f*cking hate dogs and I hate their sh!t even more so why should I suffer a nasal full of his dog's sh!t because he's too lazy to carry it home and deal with his own rubbish?
It's not a public bin. It's a private bin. It's for rubbish from my household, not anyone else's.
By your logic I should just put my rubbish in whichever bin on my street I like?"I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]2 -
Never thought I'd hear stevo coming out in support of society.
Mind you - they're not his bins

Not OK, but not the end of the world either. Better than leaving it in the street.First.Aspect said:Genuinely surprised how many people think this is okay. I never have the need to use someone's bin. Seems presumptious that the someone wouldn't mind.

There's always the option to move house to some place where the public don't walk past your bins on the street if it bothers someone that much."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0 -
Nonesense, most welfare requires NIC contribution. It is by all definition a benefit.Stevo_666 said:
As Blakey has said, you need to pay in to get it. If it was welfare you'd get it regardless.rick_chasey said:Another one to get the discussion going: people who think the state pension is a pension scheme and not a welfare benefit.
People get snobby about the word benefit because they think it's just scroungers, but that's how state pensions work.
The current tax bill pays for the current state pensions. You don't pay "into" anything. When you were working you paid the pensions of others. And so it goes on.
If the gov't ran out of money tomorrow there wouldn't be a pensions pot to raid, as there is no such thing.0 -
No but you're responsible for what goes in it e.g. my Council won't empty it if they see food waste in the bin (and I know from experience they enforce that, not nice coming back from a summer holiday to find the wife have put a chicken carcass in there that they'd refused to take resulting in the bin being full of maggots!) or if it the lid doesn't fully shut.kingstongraham said:Do you really own your wheelie bin?

Also, if it was a case of it being a pot you pay into then surely the amount you get would vary depending on what you put in?rick_chasey said:

Only some benefits are contributory. Looking at this list there are less contributory than not:rick_chasey said:

Sure there is no fund as such but there is a direct link between NIC payment and your future state pension. That said, you'd better get off here and work harder to pay my state pension when it kicks in."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered."
