Sergeant Wilson Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 2 hours ago, MSU said: This amazed me too when I was cleaning out my mum's house. We got Shelter or some other homeless charity to come out but it turned out that homeless people would rather have nothing than have a 1970s wardrobe from MFI. I expected them to take everything. They fucked off with the sofa and that was it. I was leaving to go back to Michigan the next day so I left it essentially furnished and Someone Else's Problem. This is why I wouldn't give the homeless a brass razzoo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the sound of these units people are describing they would offer some decent shelter from the weather though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 (edited) Wheeled wardrobes are also excellent for travelling down hills inside, providing they're sufficiently padded with clothing . Custom designed for Glasgow city centre really. Edited April 16, 2019 by Hedgecutter typo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Worth bearing in mind that most councils charge charities for access to the tip these days; we were quoted £30 for each piece of unsellable old tat in one area. Fair enough, but it doesn't half lead to some red-faced disbelief when you have to explain to some entitled p***k that taking their threadbare couch will cost the charity money and yes, that is a bad thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If nothing else you'd think some enterprising soul would want to break it up and sell the wood. I hear there’s a guy in Paris interested. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard about a guy who pulled the shells off snails to see what effect it would have on them. He said it made them sluggish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardinal Richelieu Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 I think I posted this on the joke thread, but what did the slug say to the snail? Big Issue sir? 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melanius Mullarkey Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 One for Dundee and environs based posters. Again I drove past the tree below (coming into Dundee, from Perth side, few hundred metres from the BP garage on the other side) and the flowers look to have been renewed. They been there for the best part of 20 years I would say. Obviously someone died in a crash but just wondering if anyone more local than I knew any background? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topcat(The most tip top) Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Captains Bar off Potterrow.Which is a minor detour between Bells and the Oak I think we’ve sorted these people a pub crawl .The Royal Oak is open till 2am so that’s the one to finish on.It’s also attracts “be quiet and respect the musicians please” types earlier in the evening 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanius Mullarkey Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Update on the crash. Male fatality, 2007, aged 25-39. Hit the kerb then a tree. Assume it was a local given the flowers always seem to be fairly fresh. Will probably be in the Courier or some other turgid rag. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
