Now this is quite literally about rubbish.I am in the unfortunate position of organising a bulky waste collection.I say unfortunate due to the following .

1.Collection arranged for Saturday 24-05-2008 all items dragged up to the roadway.Yes you’ve guessed it they do not turn up.

2.On Monday 26-05-2008 contact them again,surprised I got through on a bank holiday ,told the supervisor would call me back.Surprise no call.

3.Tuesday 27-05-2008 phoned again spoke to the supervisor who was polite apologetic and said it had been put through as a priority collection but if not collected by 230pm today to phone back.He also agreed that I would not need to drag the items up to the road way.

4.Thursday 29-05-2008 after 230pm .Items still not collected so have just spoken to them again and the usual as been repeated , its a priority and will be collected within the next 48 hours.So I repeat my concerns about dragging this all out again to be told that I must.I now await a call from the supervisor.

The joys of dealing with Birmingham City Council .

Yet another attempt at controlling the net . This time a voluntary age rating scheme for game and video downloads.Now forgive me if I am wrong but I would say this is going to be as much use as a chocolate teapot.
Well I wish the guys who thought this up a lot of luck they should remember that kids love the thrill of beating the system and this one should be easy to beat.
