OK I went to my council website site and worked it out, I think.

My Black size small wheely bin for household rubbish for dumping will change to this new brown size small one. So far that's all right by me but a question comes up, some of my neighbours have XL wheely bins and they pack them to the hilt.

I will be getting a XL Black wheely bin for plastics cans foil and glass which will do away with three of my plastic boxes and no change on the paper and card apart from I will keep one of the redundant boxes as spare as time to time the main one gets rather full.

And now food and garden wast will continual to go in to my Green wheely bin but I will be getting a small and medium box for inside with handles. Now the fun part, food wast will go into the small one and when its full transfer to the medium one in turn when full empty that one outside in the wheely bin.

Stand by more to come!

More boxes for a new collection! One box for small electrical items like batterers and the other for small linen.


Now I got you all or have a nice evening.

PS: I'm now checking delivery bin dates and change to my collection days. But first a hot steaming mug of coffee.

Good grief, that sounds way more complex than what we have up here in Aberdeen. We have the following on a two week cycle:

One black large wheely bin for household waste which is collected on Wednesday of the first week.

One brown large wheely bin which is collected on the Tuesday of the second week and;

One black box and one bag for the bottle/can/plastic and paper collections respectively. They are collected on the Thursday of the second week.

The days are specific to the area of Aberdeen where I live, other locations have theirs on other days.

For the electrical, paint, builders waste and anything else you want to get rid of, Aberdeen City Council has a large recycling points in various areas of the city.

All very organised, which for the Aberdeen City Mafia is quite surprising!

Yeah, it's not actually that bad, no worse than any other local authority!

So Gove has played the part of Judas and stabbed his mate in the back

Game Of Thrones Part Deux:

Michael Gove has said he chose to run for the Conservative Party leadership after deciding "reluctantly but firmly" that Boris Johnson was not capable of uniting the party or the country.
"It had to fall to someone else... I felt it had to fall to me," he said.
The justice secretary was set to back his fellow Leave campaigner. Mr Johnson pulled out after Mr Gove's switch.

It may not be the case Jim, Boris is great at outsourcing all the work while he takes all the credit for it. Gove is light weight and no real threat to Boris, there is a point maybe Boris has got his sights on further down the road for power giving him time to iron out his act and less outsourcing to others in around eight to ten years time.

As much as some may have loathed Thatcher or Blair, they had one thing in common. They could at least march their respective parties in the same direction.

If politics is a game of thrones or a house of cards, America’s past year would be checkers to the U.K.’s three-dimensional chess match going on right now.

A little pre politics background on Michael Gove:

He was born in Edinburgh and raised in Aberdeen by his adoptive parents. As far as I know, he's never had contact with his birth mother.

Despite being commited Labour voters, his parents paid to get him into Robert Gordon's College, which at the time was the premier private school in Aberdeen (it's been overtaken by the Albyn School lately). When his parents circumstances changed, he applied for and won a scholarship there.

After leaving school, he attended Oxford University where he studied English, receiving a 2:1.

After graduating he worked as a Journalist with Aberdeen Journals. During this period he manned the picket lines during the groups dispute with journalists over Union recognition and representation in 1989-90. Although don't remember myself, the journalists lost their dispute. Badly. In 1995 he even starred in a Christopher Lee film called "A Feast at Midnight" where he played a school chaplain. In 1996 he joined The Times where he worked in various capacities as well as doing television work for the BBC, Scottish Television and Channel Four.

In 2005 he was elected Conservative member for Surrey Heath.

So, as far as I know, he's the only current Tory party Cabinet Minister to have manned a picket line. Even if he did lose!

I'm off for another holiday so a few predictions I shall make..

JC will still be running Labour next Saturday next week. and I think Fox will be the first to be eliminated from the Tory leadership. And I think Leadsom could be a thorn in Gove's side.

The Queen visited Scotland today to formally open the fifth session of the Scottish Parliament: LINK.

"Stay calm and collected" peeps, her Majesty says so!
