I'm pleased for your sake you just did the one day- that is to your credit no matter what the 'anti-student' bloke up there has to say- you don't want to be sticking those conditions any longer than it takes to gather material for a decent blog post. By the way found you via your nomination for post of the week, which is, if you haven't discovered already, a marvellous place to find new blogs. Think of it like a rummage around som particularly choice village bins, if that is not still too painful an image for you.

Drunk punk - Cheers. snowbug - much more my thing. z - My mum still tells this story, she thinks it is hilarious. MC Glammer - Good idea, but I was not as vindictive back in those days. I believed in the inherent goodness in people, what fool!! Paul - I've had lots of jobs that required hard physical work. I went to University, yes, but my background is very much working class. That said, I am much better that you.

You let slip some important info to me you went to university (always the sign of a tosser)and have little regard for the working class (tick another box there I'm afraid) also your prophesy of pop music eating itself shows a grasp of pop culture which in the light of hitory you can judge as well as me. If i ever find you asleep in my wheelie bin you'd better give me a blow job or I'll call the police/custom oficials/blog police (they exist you know!) just go forth and try to behave yourself in future.

But we were only 13. I'd have gone round that run the next Wednesday ahead of them and split all the bin bags, then laughed at them scraping bin spill off the road.

Scarred you for life, I should think. If I were your mum, I'd not have laughed at you. I'd have been horrified and sympathetic and you would have had to demonstrate that you were a hard man and not a mummy's boy by doing the village run again the next day. And Friday.

They said "Bloody" a lot so Mary Whitehouse had it removed from our screens. Their leader was called Cheese n Egg. If you'd made a career of it you could have been the next Cheese n Egg. Still 'Cheese n Egg : I am livid' hasn't the same ring to it. Great tale. Loved it. There was a programme in the late 60’s? called The Dustbinmen.
