Don't tell him about RL "In what league do you win a division and then end up playing the same teams again the following season? There is no meaning to it, in reality."

I noticed the other day that Britain's oldest man Reg Dean has died aged 110, that now means that Brian (Rogues Gallery) moves up a place to number 3 in the table (Brian is 107), congratulations !!!!

Rumour has it that owd Rogues played in the same team as Webb Ellis. When the greedy ba$tard picked up the ball and ran with it Owd Rogues immediately nicknamed him "One trick Bill" and put him in touch with a team called St Helens.

OT - Wheelie bin fines : Thu Jan 24, 2013 1:19 pm  

My bin collection day was yesterday morning (black bin) and it was not brought back in from the alleyway until today at lunch.

Anyway the wife was visited today by some council worker informing her that we would be fined £80??? as we had left the bin out longer than 24 hours.

Anyone else had this happen?

I am pretty livid to be honest. Normally the bin gets collected by us as soon as possible, but it slipped our minds yesterday.

Seems a massive overreaction from WMBC to me and serves only to get some coffers through the door.

A fine is not good enough for this heinous crime, bring back hanging I say !!!

I'm not in Wigan, but i hope its not some opportunist working a scam...

The letter may have been genuine, were the "workers"?
