There should be a bar code on the bin, which is scanned when it's emptied. It's only emptied if you leave it out on the side of the road on your bin collection day - that varies depending on where you are, but you'll see other folk putting the bins out.

You'll then get billed (quarterly, I think) for the number of times the bin was emptied.

Make sure the previous occupant of the place is fully paid up, or you could get a nasty bill at the end of the quarter.

Colour is gradually creeping in there, and there're listings for businesses and events going in as well. There'll be more colour as I figure out how to get it in without pushing information out of the way.

I was just wondering if there is alot of bike theft in Ranelagh. Myself and my Girlfs Brand new bikes ( Only Brought on Saturday ) were stolen from outside Smiths pub in Ranelagh yesterday, they were locked and we were only in watching the Utd match.

Really annoyed about the whole thing, Gardi cannot really do anything either.

I've not heard of bikes being stolen before, and a friend of mine keeps his locked to the railings outside the house - has done for years now with no trouble. I suppose it happens everywhere in the city, though - my wife had a bike swiped in Stillorgan a few years ago, and they vanish in the city centre all the time.

Best bet is to insure 'em, if that's possible at all.

They're on the way. A workmate took a bunch of photographs for me last weekend, and they'll be going up soon.
