So have you been to the rubbish tip lately? Well I’m having a major clear out at home at the moment and I arrived at the tip the other day with a car full of rubbish. First I had to provide ID to get into the site, presumably so only local rubbish ended up at the local tip. Don’t really see too much point in this, there’s only so much rubbish in the world, surely it should even out across the local rubbish tips? Anyhow my driving licence did the job and I drove through the barrier to see an array of skip like containers labelled “cardboard” “Electricals” “glass” etc each with stairs at the side to climb up and deposit your rubbish. I had a computer tower and an old style TV to dump so I headed for the electrical bin, I dumped the computer but when I went to dump the TV the attendant told me NO that goes over there, pointing to a separate container containing TV’s so off I trotted and dumped the TV.
In my car I had a broken up computer desk so I next had to find the wood department. On the way there I passed a section that said Black Bags Only and carried on to dump my wood. Having done that I went to the general non-recyclable section for the rest of my rubbish which was all in black bags, only to see a sign that said no black bags!
They operate a one way system at my local tip so I had to go round again. So it was back to the entrance, more ID and back in to the Black Bags Only section.
Why is life so difficult these days? Recycling is good for the environment but time was when you went to the dump and left your rubbish. Nowadays you have to grade it and sort it first and deposit it in the right bin. Well I think it’s Garbage!
That was the most contrived intro to a song – Garbage – Stupid Girl – that I could think of.
And Then…
A “relationship support” meeting booked at a village hall has been cancelled amid fears that it was being used as a bondage workshop.
Adverts were published for an event to include spanking, flogging and “kink on a budget”, served with tea and cakes at an unnamed south Cambridgeshire venue.
The trustees of Trumpington Village Hall said they believed their venue had been booked “under false pretences”.
“The booking did not fully state the activities undertaken,” they said.
Peer Rope Cambridge, a group which supports the bondage, discipline, domination, submission, sadism and masochism community, published an agenda for the 12 October workshops on its website, stating the venue would be announced closer to the time.
The day would begin with tea and pastries, and a lunch of sandwiches and fruit would be served by “Maid Sarah”, it said.
In the afternoon, participants were invited to take part in relationship counselling in the main hall, or a flogging workshop in the small hall next door.
People attending were advised to take the park and ride because of a lack of parking spaces at the venue.
They were also asked to help stack chairs away at the end of the day.
Although the trustees of the village hall were unable to confirm the relationship counselling sessions booked for that day were bondage workshops, they cancelled the booking.
In a statement, they said: “It has been brought to [our] attention that the premises have been hired under false pretences
“When the bookings were made, the activity was described as a ‘relationship support group meeting’.
“The booking did not fully state the activities undertaken.
“The trustees have therefore cancelled all future bookings and have no further comment to make.”
Well there’s nothing more British than a right royal spanking followed by a nice cup of tea. It helped build the Empire.
