WE have to take ours to the local waste place. Which keeps changing its open days.

EH?! We only have it once a week. Dude, how much garbage are you guys producing, especially if you guys have problems closing garbage bags even after two collections?!

O wait, how many bags are you allowed to have for each collection?

We only have rubbish collected once a week here too. :sweat:
Twice a week sounds wonderful, Esther!

:mrgreen: my flatmate and me are good people- we donLt have much garbage, but families and restaurants have. I am used to the street container system in Barcelona or containers in basements. I canLt get used to keep smelly garbage in my kitchen for longer than 24 hours. I am thinking of leftovers and rotting food, especially fish, cream sauces etc. :bleh: and I am a bit worried about hotter seasons. But maybe I am just spoiled. :sweat:

But in general the system is not working, Brussels is one of the dirtiest cities I have ever lived in. After collections, my street looks like the city of Naples when the garbage companies go on strike. :crazy:

:say_yes: an additional burden for poor households, besides steep city taxes, so people pack in as much as they can.

Microscopic subtitles. Seriously, who the hell can read those things without the use of a magnifying glass? No wonder my eyesight is getting worse and worse every year. :grumble:

If this keeps up, we should all stop watching Jdramas! Nah, we'll probably all be blind bats together. :beaten: :sweat:

And on topic: My freaking DVD recorder is flaking out on me! :banghead: I'm in the middle of recording a drama and it's paused on one scene and I can't unpause it, can't turn it off, and nothing else works. I guess I'll try unplugging the darn thing. :grumble: This is really pissing me off that every single thing I have is starting to or is fucked up. :banghead:

Omg you have my sympathy, monta-kun! :patpat: I'm so fed up with my stupid LCD on my monitor that I bought a new iMac. I should be getting it in the mail some time this week.

Current peeve: I'm watching the news right now and they completely and totally focus the entire broadcast on some pursuit through the streets in Los Angeles.... :grumble: :grumble: :grumble:

Police pursuits aren't a spectator sport morons, so why don't you freaking get back to the rest of the goddamn news?????? :cursing: :cursing: :cursing:

Local pastime....it's as Los Angeles as drugs, gangs, traffic, and smog.

You forgot flash floods, earthquakes, and brush fires.

In a fit of disgust, I just fired off an e-mail to the TV station. :grumble:

THIS is true. :hehe:

We're currently remodeling our house so for the past couple of days I've woken up to the lovely sounds of construction. Power tools, annoying hammering, and constant shouting. :banghead:
