Excellent video! All your videos are so well presented.
Cannot believe that a bunch of people called police over Halloween decorations, claiming it's a "body" - no actually I can believe that, there's some extremely stupid people about!
I once played a prank on the local garbage collection men because I was very upset at them poking around in the recycling trash cans, sniffing around and thereby invading householders' privacy.
So, the plan was this: it was just before Halloween so I managed to get a very realistic looking skull (from Wilkos for 3 quid). It looked amazingly realistic. I wanted to tie it to the lid of one of the recycling trash cans in such a way that it would be a "Jack in the box", ie if someone opens the lid it would come out and grin at whoever had opened the lid.
I spent an entire afternoon faffing about with string - but it didn't go to plan. The skull turned upside down inside the trash can. It also lowered itself a bit, so by the time I tested it, all that it was was an upside down skull clearly visible in the trash can - but not popping out when the lid got opened.
It was a cold day and I was considerably fed up so I left it, as the trash can men would still be looking inside the trash can due to their poking and sniffing around in it. I left that recycling trash can empty apart from the skull (I got two recycling trash cans) in the anticipation that they wouldn't empty it.
So, day of recycling collection came. Bunch of uncivilized garbage collection gorillas outside, yelling and hollering as always. First gorilla goes to my trash can, opens the lid, closes it, walks on... and stops dead! He thinks he is seeing things! So he goes back, opens the lid again... yup there it is, a human skull upside down bobbling about on a complicated contraption of strings attached to the lid.
He tells his mate. The second gorilla thinks the dude is daft so goes to have a look himself... yup there it is, a skull!
Third gorilla comes along, the first two gorillas tell him about it. He doesn't believe it and thinks they are pulling his leg. He goes to the trash can, opens the lid - yup, human skull bobbling about upside down.
They never emptied it... wonder why, I thought they want everything for recycling now, human remains not good enough...???
It was only good that it was the week before Halloween (last year that was) because the skull looked very realistic (so much so, when I was preparing it with the string and all, I nearly threw up over having such a thing in my living room! Couldn't wait to get it out of the house!) - any other time of the year and I'm sure they would have called the cops, and it would have given a big fuss - sealed off, crime scene and all, and me having some explaining to do. Good job they thought it was just a few kids being silly just before Halloween.
I tried to play another prank on them, so I wrote a realistic sounding newspaper article about garbage containing Yersinia Pestis (the plague bacterium) and left it on top of the other recycling, hoping they would read it when poking and sniffing around and getting all spooked, but they can't read these uncivilized gorillas.
Still thinking about what other pranks I could play on them.
Luckily our bin men are really nice!
@@Knockonceforyes You are lucky - here they are awful, very rude, uncivilized and always keen on sniffing around in the trash cans - and they report back to the council what they find in the garbage cans!!! Yup, I know that because once they didn't empty a recycling trash can, and when I called the council to ask why, they told me exactly what was in it and that one item was apparently "offensive", ie in the wrong trash can!
Since then I make a point of always including something they don't like - but at the bottom so they don't see it when they sniff around in it before emptying it!
Outstanding 👻❤
