Gambling should be top, but video gaming, that is fun.

Seems reasoanble - grey bins round here are for recycling.

In my experience most women take rather more exception to their menfolk watching birds.

Treecreepers are lovely little things, famously shortsighted and one once climbed me while I'd stopped to consult my OS map.  Quite a compliment to my tree-imitating abilities and I was delighted, though a little concerned about ticks and fleas...

 

The Squeeze would certainly have put model railways lower down the list.  Her previous partner was a gambler and wrecked both their lives, and she considers my trains as creative and likes it because she knows where I am!

That would make sense, but where this photo was taken they are for general, (landfill), waste. There are green boxes for glass and cardboard, black boxes for tins, cans and plastic, blue bags for paper and, for an extra charge, green bins for garden waste.

That's what's confusing about many council areas, different councils have different colours for different type of material. At least now here, it's becoming standardised.

 

Some public parks have bins where they have a label, claiming that the contents are sorted. I suspect that is unlikely when someone checks to see if suitable for sorting and gets a whiff of bags of dog poo!

As you know Paul, my other half keeps buying locos as long as I look after them and use them on her behalf. I have just been testing my part of Bourne Valley with her latest purchase.

I saw that photo the other day and asked my other half if she wanted to see a picture of a pair of Blue Boobies. She thought that it was going to be something quite different.

I was thinking of the other type of models that frequent the media the other half doesn’t want you playing with, 😆

Our recycling bins are grey, general waste is green.  Garden waste is brown.

Make of that what you will!

I have a garden waste bin provided by the council but I didn't opt to pay for it to be emptied as I compost my garden waste. I have found a use for it, to hold prunings that go in the shredder that must be kept dry.

But no mention of hobbies like going out with your mates to get steaming drunk, staggering home at 02:00, throwing up on the doorstep, and having to bang on the front door to waken somebody, cos you've lost your key?

 

Asking for a friend.

Its worse than that, its discrimination. Where's the balancing poll of the least attractive hobbies for women according to men? 🤔

Looking at other people's cat/dog videos for ages? I don't mind the occasional one, but sometimes a whole series of them.
