"I don't know" is not an answer

Where they actually have them. The bomb thing was a good excuse to remove bins and not replace them.

E.g. make them out of a shaped plastic-bag filled with water (with salt or something to prevent algal growth) - or something that approximates to that formulation however it is actually designed and made. That would give them lots of weight, remove explosion danger - and maybe even absorb some of the blast, reduce impact of fires started in bins, and maybe other wonderful advantages.

There was at least one design tested using some form of composite that was strong enough to direct the explosive force of anything expected to be used directly upwards, while remaining intact itself. I've heard no more about it, so I assume it cost more to make than a plastic bag.

The video of the test (On Tomorrows World, IIRC) was quite impressive.

So anyone could see its a Bomb..

Course anyone likely to know what one looks like?..

Clue .. it won't have "BOMB" writ large on it...

But, as far as they're concerned, doing SFA is their 'job'. It's what they 'do'. And we're daft enough to pay them for doing it.

Divide their benefit by the minimum wage to work out how many hours we're paying them for and then give them that many hours of work to do.

I had a simple pair of rules If I ask you to do something I mean do as you're f******* told If I add Please, I mean do as you're f******* told or your fired.

I love seeing them in the States. There's something very satisfying about seeing a big pink sign on the side of the road saying "Scurvy Crew Ahead" and then seeing a gang of bright orange-suited convicts up to their armpits in s*it, cleaning out ditches. With a hard-arsed looking shotgun-equipped official watching over them ...

Lavatories would have to be provided.

You can get "welfare vans" that have a loo. Some are a bit posh with a cooking and eating area as well and you probably lose a lot of seating capacity.

Of course she was smiling. If she's careful, she can save in a year enough to buy a house back home.

That would be more than a 40 hour week for some people.

We have the over here (well not the guns) but they wear orange.

Or she could be looking for a husband with a UK passport...

... or she could just like being in a bar with a load of blokes.

Have you ever noticed how many of them are called "Doc"? I think it's really nice of the prison to issue personalised jumpsuits.

RATFLMFAO !!! :-))

Have these yoofs never had their bluff called before or are they so dumb that they can't remember?
