Tetra Pack Recycling.

Whilst browsing my Local council recycling website, I discovered that they now have the facility to recycle Tetra packs. They are not providing a curb side collection as yet, but if you pop down to any Birmingham City Council site they have containers for you to "make a deposit".

So I took my household collection of T-Paks at the weekend, along with all my other stuff for recycling. The dustbin here pictured is how many we collected in just 2 weeks.

I am very glad I am longer contributing to these going to land fill.

Check your local council website to see if you can recycle these yourself!

Running around the garden shooting each other with BB guns is a real blast!

As long as it is done safely, of course

Not my bike, but parked next to mine at work yesterday.

I don't remember needing one of those tools to fix a puncture?

Ever wanted to create your own electronic music, but have no musical training?

First saw this as used by "Little Boots" (Sound of 2009) on bbc news. She herself has a few vids if you search for her on you tube.

I want one.

The "diddy" looking kids bike in brown at the front is actually my 22" framed Kona Hoss Delux with 26" wheels.

The 29er really is the "daddy".

Only those over 6 foot with long legs need apply.............

Shandy Boy? Topester? High Tower Heaton?

Hmmmm....new bike smell.

The 29er is on the road. And it's a flyer.

Upgraded to a Chris King Headset, Race Face Chainset, Hope BB, 545 SPD's and ODI lock-on grips before it even turned a pedal stroke in anger.

I will take a pic of it next to my Kona, just to show how big a beast it really is.

Yummy.
