  • No we recycled them and recycle rates were really high. They just went in the green wheelie bin and were picked up every week or two.

    I would be fine with the deposit scheme but the plastic bottles and aluminium cans all need to be in perfect condition / no squashing them down so they quickly start taking up a lot of space in our (busy) house then need a trip to the store followed by putting them in a scanning machine one by one where before we could just squish them and pop them in the green bin.

    I’m not doing any more recycling but now I have a lot more effort unfortunately.

    Also no glass in the scheme.

    I’m honestly not a fan as someone who was recycling everything already.

    That’s fascinating. If you don’t mind me asking what percentage would you say were angry? And where were you knocking? (Approximately).

    I worked in a call centre for a summer (no hard sell but it was an awful job) and location and politeness were directly correlated.

    I’ve only had one JW call to my door. I’m atheist a long time now. Well over thirty years but we had a very nice interaction. He called back a second and third time, bless his heart.

    I know you’re taking the piss but the point of it is really to take a moment to look more closely at what’s around.

    I saw a great Japanese movie recently called Perfect Days. The lead in it is a toilet cleaner in Tokyo leading a very simple life but he revels in the beauty in all he sees.

    It honestly changed my worldview a little. Can’t recommend the movie enough.






  • I did come across the competitive scene there about 2 years ago. Honestly I found it both fascinating and a bit disheartening. There was I happy with my occasional dad game where I was regularly beating the AI on one of the higher levels. Nope. Apparently still a noob after 25 years.

    The speed and accuracy that they move and build at is astounding.
