I just got testicular brain freeze reading that 😅

When I'm at the woodland, I quite often have a shower ( a stream) . The water in the stream , is coming straight from the top of the mountain, and is icy cold , even in August. When my nutsack hits the icy water , I get instant brain freeze. Is this normal ?, or , am i a testicularneurologic wonderboy ?. Just incase anyone is wondering, it hurts like a xxxx, but I feel amazing when I get out , and the pain stops 😁

If that's what you took from my post , then I think I've found your problem.

The local authority that I work for have got rid of all the bottle banks now . It's just down to cost . Not the cost of emptying the bottle banks , its the cost of having to clear the sites every day . Once one person dumps a bag of bottles or cans on the floor , because they can't be bothered to put them into the skip, pretty much everyone else just dumps their bags of bottles and cans on the ever growing pile , because they think the bottle/can bank is full. I've pulled up to take the bottle banks away , and theirs been several tons of broken glass around the empty bin . The bins quite often attract fly tipping as well . Ive regularly got to the bottle banks , and found a complete house clearence , dumped around them. It's a real shame , as they were a fantastic way of recycling, but as with many things in life , it only takes a couple of people to spoil it for everyone. The official line at my local authority, is that everyone has a free recycling collection at home now ( and theyll collect any amount of recycling) , but the real reason, is what I've typed above. Edited to add. The clothing banks are run by private companies , and my council made them remove them from council land , for the same reason as above. You still get them on supermarket carparks, but the supermarket then get to pay the costs of removing the fly tipping that they attract , and the cost can be eye watering.

Well it won't be me 😇

I reckon that if I got everyone I know to chip in , we'd still be slower than you 😄.

You can , think and type , faster than I can read 😄

I've been arrested by armed police . In all honesty, I really didn't find it particularly alarming ( but thats probably just because im used to being around guns) . I avoided getting shot , by doing as I was told . I really can't see why anyone would try to do it any other way.

That pic really puts things into perspective mate 👍. On the downside. Thousands of green scammers( sorry , did i say that out loud), I mean hard working environmentalist , will lose their jobs , and what will the just stop oil protesters do ?.

Very well done mate. You played a blinder 👍.

They put it in with the refuse . In fairness , they're real greenies , and generate very little waste of any kind , but , many of the neighbours just leave their waste overflowing into the street. I found it quite shocking when I first saw it , but over recent months , I've seen similar stories all around the country.

My stepson and his partner live in Liverpool. They haven't had a recycling collection for the two years that they've lived in their house .

Yep 👍.

It's greenwaste , that has general refuse mixed in with it . We do our best to remove it (if you can spot it), but if it's hidden at the bottom of a bin , then you can't see it. Some of the bigger stuff will get removed when the truck is emptied, and it becomes visible , but most of it just gets shredded along with the greenwaste . Councils will tell you that it all gets removed , but the reality is , removing it costs money , so it doesn't happen. Once it's shredded , it's not easy to see , so farmers taking the green fertiliser, will be none the wiser , until it's too late. Eventually the greenwaste will rot away , and all the contaminated waste will be sitting in the topsoil for hundreds of years. This is something that I can see becoming even more of an issue, as people try to hide general waste in greenwaste bins , because the council aren't collecting refuse as often.

The local authority that I work for , very rarely landfill waste. The recyclable waste gets recycled , and the rest gets incinerated to produce electricity. The problem is , that lots of people don't recycle , and local authorities are trying to force those people into recycling, by not collecting waste as often. Councils get paid for recycleable waste , but they have to pay to incinerate or landfill other waste. It has nothing to do with saving the planet , it's just to raise more cash to spend on eeerrr worthy projects. A perfect example is greenwaste collection. You were already paying to have greenwaste collected , through your council tax . Councils said it was a free service , but in the real world , free doesn't exist. You're greenwaste service , is now a chargeable service, so now you're paying for it twice. If you collect 1000 tons of greenwaste , and 1000 tons of refuse , then on paper 50% of your waste has been recycled, but in reality , nothing has changed for the better ( except you didnt need to take it to the tip yourself). Leaves have been falling from trees , almost from the beginning of time , but the earth recycles them perfectly well , without human intervention. What does happen , is that thousands of truck belch out fumes , all around the country every day( im one of the guilty drivers), and the council gets to charge you twice , for something that you didn't need anyway. Don't get me started on the dirty greenwaste that's getting ploughed into farmers fields as a so called green fertiliser. It's just diluted refuse , and is turning farms into huge landfill sites.
