parties. Surprising cos I’ve always seen myself more as an
            "Anti-Social  Moth"  but  I  must  admit  I  don't  so  much
            "flit" as sort of drag my exhausted ass along, struggling
            to  conceal  my  Panda  eyes  with  make-up  and  bury  my
            migraine  beneath  a  cocktail  of  prescription  drugs  and
            dark glasses.

           Do  I  look  like  I  speak  fluent  wheelie-bin?  (Maybe  don’t
            answer  that)  Just  had  a  bizarre  "conversation"  with  2
            lovely men from Redditch Bollox Council. (Well one of
            them may have been a worker cyborg - he didn’t seem to
            speak) They asked if I’d asked for assisted bin collection
            and for the larger size bin. I said yes please. They were
            confused.
           Doesn’t take long to go from 0 to baffled with the council
            does it.
           "So is it a 360 you want?"
           "Mmmm K I literally don’t understand what you’re asking
            me now. I can’t manage to put the bins out sometimes
            and they’re not really big enough now that you only emp-
            ty them twice a month. I just want to resolve that."
           "Sooooo, you want a GREEN bin?"
           "I already have a green bin. It’s that big green bin you’re
            leaning on"
           "Soooo....you don’t want a 180, you want a 360?"
           "Erm......I’m going to shut the door now"
           Keep smiling and nodding whilst backing away slowly.......
           I  think  they’ve  just  exchanged  the  grey  bin  for  the
            supersized with fries one. God knows what will happen
            on bin day.....
