No, that can't be right. They don't serve VB in there.

One would need lashings 'N' lashings of VB to recover from a visit to McDonalds. Might take several days.

Well he has had a recent residency in a recovery centre.

Perhaps he visits the Golden Arches more than he lets on

I had a sausage and egg McMuffin for breakfast yesterday, actually 

Oh you doubters. See what happens when you drink VB?

You win a football! (Needs inflating, and it's a rugby ball - rugby league is known as footy here)

Just like the beer, it will be full of wind

I think you mean the drinker

Not for nothing are you known as 'Gusty George'

Give it a minute or 2 and the 'beer' will look as flat as the inflatable egg.

    

Captain Bin.

Me old mate in Cambridge must have been venturing north again. He sent me a picture of 18 Burnside Avenue, Houghton-le-Spring. This was the home of my grandfather.

The poor old sod had dementia, although that was not diagnosed as such back then. He would sit on the steps beside the galvanized garbage bin, and spring into action chasing all the kids that walked past.

I used to cop a kreefull of taunts at school:

"Your Grandad is Captain Bin, isn't he?"

Geez I used to hate that!

Ah, well, that was then, this is now. I'm older than he was when he carked it!  

Thank you, Captain Wheelie Bin

I forgot to tell you I sit on top of ours when it's windy 

It take all sorts, George
I don't put mine out if it's too windy as, once it's empty, it just blows around in the cul de sac and chances are I'd never see it again as some scrote would have it away.
