It seems to be a statement that they are environmentally aware ... look at our extra large recycle bin, we are doing out bit to save the planet.

maybe that particular bin was selling at a reduced price.
maybe they're planning on doing some remodelling soon in their new home, and will soon need the larger bin.
maybe you don't have any idea at all, eh curtain twitching dave?

that's quite a bit of curtain twitching dave...but have you considered that perhaps the insulation guys arrived and left when you weren't at home?

how do you know why she has the new car?
how do you know that she doesn't lease cars and upgrade annually?
considering that you've never once spoken to her, why do you assume that you know what is practical and impractical for her needs?

I'll just do the first one as it's reach-a-round white-knighting for cyrille

The bins can only be purchased through the local Council ... you pay more for a new bin and a higher annual fee.

Indeed they are re-modelling. Hence the skip they ordered, they one they wacked the tress and old building material into.

Ray, you are a dick ... have you got any idea what goes into a household recycle bin?
Glass bottles, plastic milk bottles (remove the lids first), beer cans, plastic water bottles, tin cans etc.
Old building material ... err ... nah.

"curtain twitching" ... nah again ... can't see them from any of my windows. Ray, fail again

Ray, do you exchange Christmas gifts with your neighbours, a casual beer together, share power tools? No?


Reach-a-round, as I said above to cyrille ... "you have no idea ... it's called a neighbourhood when people engage socially with those who have points in common, help those who they can, ask for help when it's needed, but smart enough not to live in each other's pockets."

True, some of us can and are not a douche about it.

tut tut, curtain twitching dave.....it's because you can't answer these questions...

well it's a minor miracle then that you're able to deliver and promise such a detailed accounting of the arrivals and departures of the air con, insulation, and solar panel companies.

But she obviously thinks it looks the goods.

There are few before you who too have discovered how with their "exceptional first native language" they can slag when no argument on hand (or brain)...

Well, Ray, since I have to explain it to a simpleton ...

When I walk out to the car to take the kids to School etc, and their house is on the opposite side of the road and there are work vehicles with names such as Ray's dodgy Air-Con installations, let me blow out your hot air.

Or Cyrille's plumbing company ... The Turd Burglar.

Even a sharp mind like yours might be able to deduce what trades are working at the house

I'll try to decipher that - did you use Google translate?

And English isn't my 'first native language'

Teeth are fine Lu, but thanks for your concern.

No need to borrow reach-a-round's denture glue ... just yet.

....and still, the larger and basic picture is being missed.
Shouldn't surprise.

I love that Ant sits there white knighting her completely convinced all is gospel on this subject and we're all doomed based upon "science fact" because the earth has never faced anything like it in Scientists knowledge.....extending back.....

Still i'm not saying that we don't face problems but its much easier to preach and not do ensconsed in your Aircon office with a few v8 guzzlers for the weekend and theaching the kids to get around on their electric scramblers. Fooking hilarious....cue Triggered gif et al what a fooking hypocrite.

You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows

So Ant how do you square away your lifestyle with you preaching climate change to posters on here fella or are you going to keep happily ingoring your contribution to the emergency, kick the can down the road for your kids.

I really don't get this thing where people are saying that unless you renounce all technology and modern conveniences and go live in a cave then you're being hypocritical on climate change. It's just a dumb argument.

The person who invented the more energy efficient light bulb did so working under inefficient lighting and the person who invented solar panels had them produced at a factory using standard power generation -- you make use of the technology that is available at the time -- and change is not going to be affected by a small group of people doing everything perfectly, it's going to come when everyone does everything imperfectly.

It's that last bit that is the real issue however because there actually is a minority who are too ignorant and/or selfish to even do the bare minimum.

It's exactly the same as the 'can't be a socialist and have a good tailor' 'argument'.

Some people want those whose views they disagree with to be marginalised. They won't be a threat in their caves.

The whole energy efficient future will include greater self reliance, and that's difficult to buy shares in.

Thank you for illustrating the point.

You may now continue to rant and make up things about my lifestyle to give yourself some windmills to tilt at.

Ant not sure what mixing posters posts is supposed to achieve apart from demonstrate you can't counter my comment on your lifestyle hypocracy.

Jeez its incredible people actually found you so offensive or sharp you drove them off here. By the way i'd distance my self from the folk who's country is decimating the Rainforest by slash and burn to raise the bbq beef you're so fond of helping them consume. Hope the logs were ecologically sourced

It's to demonstrate that your posts illustrate perfectly exactly what I was saying.

Do you need everything spelled out for you.

He's not very bright you know. ((c) Harry 2019)

He is doing his best to whinge and make this thread about me so he can then whine that it's about me.
