Swapping a wheelie bin lid

One of my wheelie bin lids had broken (the wind blew it over and snapped the lids arm)

Now rather than bugger about phoning the council and asking for a new one I was just going to pinch someone else bin lid on my way home from the pub tonight (the fat bird at no 16 that still owes me £40 for a job I did last week seems an ideal victim).

Now how do you change the lids? I need to know what tools to take with me..

Do your lids have a serial number stencilled on?

No. The bins have a serial number but not the lids.

Where are the RFID chips that are allegedly in them?

If that "fat bird" reads this group she will know who to send to police to. :-)

And if dennis knew where I lived I would have been arrested last year when I dumped a car outside a wankers house..

I really do not care what "some" people think about me. If the fat bird complains about me I will break into her house and put a lettuce in her fridge - that will scare her.

There aren't any on ours, but the hole for them is under the front flange.

In the front corners on the underside of the lids, there are two cylindrical cavities, if you have them fitted, they go in there, but ours don't.

ROFL... But in all seriousness, isn't this one good reason why hiding behind a stupid handle is considered by some to be a good idea while using usenet...?

The handles on my wheelie bins (3 off) aren't quite big enough to fully hide behind. Unless I go on a serious diet.

On mine it is simply a pair of plastic plugs which are an interference fit.

They emptying machine seemed to have eaten one of mine recently, but I happened to have a large bolt which I screwed in to replace it.

The world is full of nutters as ARW, geoff and others demonstrate. You don't give nutters contact details, it avoids the agro that some want to vent. If you can't say it in public I don't want to hear it so I will never post contact details in public. BTW I don't believe ARW is stupid enough to do half of what he claims to do, its just bragging to make himself look big in the eyes of the other kids..

the council. They fitted a new lid. Not very well, but two whacks fixed it.

The difference between you and I is that when I do something stupid or illegal it is because I am either pissed, taking revenge, trying to win a bet (I lost the eat a tin of cat food bet) or having a laugh with the lads. When you do (or say) something stupid it is because you are a retard.

I am different person when at work and dealing with customers. The labourer at work today was laughing at me when I was on the phone and I called a customer sir. He can laugh all he wants, but I was not the one shoving the sweeping brush around and filling the skip for the minimum wage. Nor did I have to walk to the bus stop after work to get home.

I've just checked and I misremembered, they are opposite the handle, a ~25mm diameter black disc with two holes for a fitting tool.
