BUSINESS AS USUAL.

After the terrible events of last week we're back on track. Kicking off (we're reclaiming this phrase following its misuse last week) with this ghostly mess in Naples. We were told to look out for overflowing bins galore whilst there. This one caught our eye for two reasons:

1. The statue appears to be laughing in the face of life. "What? You're sticking a bin next to me? I don't give a shit mate, do what you want."

2. IT'S A WHITE WHEELIE BIN. HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A WHITE WHEELIE BIN BEFORE? Na, us neither.

Truth well told is that it is a city of undeniable beauty, tarnished by a lacklustre refuse collection service. We've got faith in our Italian bidone brothers to clear up the mess soon enough.

In hindsight, the neglect of ITALIAN wheelie bins we reported back in December last year looks like kindness compared to what we saw here last week.

WE'RE LATE.... BUT THAT'S OK. We've bin to Italy and everything's late there - it's a wonder they ever get out of bed.

While we were there we saw all manner of shernanigans involving flares, paint and policemen. Spotted this nice triptych of burning bins though. Out of disaster comes beauty.... perhaps.

Cheers to J Foreman for spotting this one right here

CIAO BELLA

Nice composition here. This cheeky Milanese number has managed to sandwich itself between an ornate lamppost and rossi scooter. If Berlusconi was leafing through some blue magazines at the stall in the background this would be one of the greatest shots in Italian bin history. Cheers to the bella scouse Vez N for this one.

BIN TO ITALIA AIN'T I?

A real gem of a set here from J. Foreman of Newcastle. The lad's been on tour to Italy and spotted a TRIPTYCH of BIDONE.

GRAZIE MILLE Foreman, you can come back any time you want signor.

PS. Sorry we're late on this morning's round, just got back from the King's Road, had to clean up JT's Dom Perignon recycling bins - they were all over the shop. Be safe out there.
