I like wheelie bin. It's the first time I hear the term. When I worked at McD's, the term was "castle bin". They had their own term for almost everything.

I like the homely-sounding name "wheelie bin" too. In the UK we already had the word "wheelie" in common use to describe doing one of these:-

Would that be called a "wheelie" in US and Canada, I wonder ?

Same pronunciation, different Wheeley:

It is called a wheelie in Canada. I believe the correct syntax is "pop a wheelie".

Aha! Thanks for giving me the correct verb to work with too!

I needed a chair for my new work-from-home desk and wanted another antique burgundy velvet Victorian piece to match he rest of my home decor. Most chairs I found ranged from $150 to $350, so I was thrilled to score this vintage piece in immaculate condition for only $25!

Fits in well with the surroundings. Hope it doesn't clash with the crown!

Still adjusting to being home after being in Spain for five weeks.

Welcome home to the US, and welcome back to MB again, Janszoon.
Was your stay in Spain business or pleasure, urban or rural? Did you come back with any hot new artist recs?
