This is the interesting thing. I remember having a sort of Christmas Is it though? Is it interesting? I'm trying to join in. Of course you ordered that . You always order that . And you always never eat it . Can you believe it's that time again? Time for another episode of Wanging On with me, Graham, and look over there. It's me, Maria McCallen. Tis true, 'tis true all the time. Remember me, I do. I saw you last week. Yes. They made me come back . Yes I remember, I remember, yes , with the sidebo ard . You keep things in that sideboard now I do. Yes, I do. Old coffee on eaten sandwiches. And a small puppy . I'm joking. No, there's no yeah, there's no puppy. There's no puppies. Talking of puppies and kids. Yes, yes. It's that kind of time of year again. Next weekend Valentine's I know. I feel like it's a bit like you know the way New Year's is the time for people who don't know how to have fun to try and have fun I feel like Valentine's is for people who don't know anything about romance or love to try and have to romance in love. I know I try I do try to lurch from these kind of celebrations with, you know, a warm heart and fuzzy feelings, but frankly, I feel too old now. Being in the supermarket this weekend will be one of the most depressing things you can do . Watching people kind of picking up bunches of flowers and bits of old heart shaped glittery stuff. Oh yes. Yeah, biscuits in a heart shape. Really? Washing up liquid in a heart shape bottle. I mean, I do slightly feel great if you've got to wait until a certain day to tell people that you love them, then what's going on with your life? Yes. Because I think it made in school it was a thing because you could send an anonymous card to someone you loved. And I remember when I was in boarding school , you know, because Because after breakfast, they would hand out the post . And it was so exciting for Valentine's day to see who got cards . You know, and obviously there'd be some slag who got loads. But you call it boarding schools, you see, I call it reform school . Oh, yes . Because your mum has filled me in on that frankly . Did you ever get cards when you were at boarding school? I think I got a couple. But I happened I wasn't one of those people whose mother sent a card . You know, those people their mother sends them a card. And like even in adulthood mothers send cards to people it's that's wrong. That's wrong. No, that is wrong. And the thing that I always think about Valentine's Day is when I worked in restaurants , it was the day to ask off because it was just awesome. No tips, no tips out there. I know I've been a waitress in restaurant and when I come out, these people come out thinking, Oh, it's Valentine's they've better book a table for two. And restaurants now don't actually allow you to book anything but a table for two. So if you want to go and eat on your own, no you have to have a table for two and valent ine's Day. I can't let that table go. I can't do a four or a one. It's got to be a table for two. You just think, I'm never going to this restaurant ever again. And I just remember it was all these people who eat out So they would order we didn't have enough half bottles of wine to go round. No it was all that yeah half a bunch of wine. And then they'd be like, you know, five to nine last trained a basing stoke. It's like a flurry of people looking for the bill . But also people not talking. It's like, we have to go out on Valentine's Day because it's Valentine's Day, but I have nothing to say to this person. So it's literally like one of those bread and breakfasts where you get down for breakfast and all you hear is the chink chink of kind of scraping fork on plate. And no one having my stamina no one going yes do you remember when the moment they're just sort of thinking , I've got another fifty years of you . Of course you ordered that . You always order that. And you always never eat it . I mean it really is one of those things where you think why, when I used to wait to us, why are these people in a relationship? I hope you said that to them. Yeah , when they didn't tip me. Here's the bill and you shouldn't be there. You shouldn't exist. Yeah, yeah. Thank you very much. Did you enjoy your meal? Here's the bill. Honestly, this is not working. No, I would I would get a divorce quickly. Well, that's the thing, because I think often though they're not married people . I think married people do it less than people dating. If you're dating, there is a kind of pressure to do something for Valentine's Day. Yeah. And this year it's a weekend. Now you're married now. Does your husband do anything for you? None of your business. That was not the answer I was expecting. Oh, really? What were you expecting? No. Oh , but that might be similar . It might be similar. We'll see. Will you let me know next Let me know next week.. You so won't Maria, I think that's quite enough lovely Dubby talk for now.

Next Right, before we get to dilemmas, Maria, I've been keeping a secret. As we record this, we have just watched the video of Opalite by Taylor Swift. , oh no, it's killed her. The shock, the shock and disappointment has killed her. The bitter, the bitter jealousy of not being asked to be in the video has proved too much for her. And by the way, Raffie just ran away . He went, Oh, that one's dead. Yeah . I'll hide over here. He's doing some showing off . I have literally just watched it. My mind is blown because it came from, let's just go. It came from when she was on your show. I know . So and what's amazing? So we filmed this back in, I think I did my bits kind of end of November or something and I just please please release the video so I can tell someone I did this. I mean, she is so careful about secrecy, isn't she? So all of this got, let's just go. It's got Dominique , it's got everybody that was on your show. Donald Geez. So tell us who was on your sofa that night. So basically , okay, I'll tell you what happened. So I got contacted by Taylor and Taylor's people and they wanted to discuss I think they wanted to discuss something I was like, Oh, what that's about . And then we heard something about the music video and I thought, Oh, what's that? And then I got through the thing and it was like the whole thing came to her in a blinding flash on the sofa. Which you see in the video if you stay to the end of the video you see her get the idea and it was so she was on the show with Killian Murphy, Donald Lees,on Greta Lee , Jodie Turner Smith and Luz Cabaldi . And Donald Leeson said something about his dancing and he said, Oh, I'm hoping to be in the next Tail Swift video. And you see her little eyes go but doing a little light bulb moment. And the next thing you know, she's written this whole treatment and we're all in it and everyone was available, everyone agreed to do it. And it's very clever of her because it is very mixed multimedia, isn't it? It's like ch aat show becomes that and this is all included and everyone that was on the sofa is in it. So where did you film what are you allowed to say? I think I'm allowed to say. I filmed , well, you know, for my big showbiz break , a chauff careur whisked me to Croydon. Croydon . You know how to live, Graham? Yeah . And I hung out in a disused clark, actually it's not disused. Clark's shoe shop was where we kind of hung out because it was in a shopping center in Croydia . So the escalator up and down is Croyd and stuff. And I think I think I'm not sure Taylor and her team, everybody were here for a few days. And I think they filmed most of it here and then bits of it in America. And also, you know that thing well, when you talk to pop music people or sometimes actress things and they say, Oh yeah, I directed that. Well, she did that. And you think and you think did you ? Did you really? Or were you just there? But Taylor, I cannot tell you. Taylor properly , wr sheote this, it's her script. Does she have a storyboard and everything? It's all storyboarded and she properly directs it. What's she like as a director? Marvelous . I mean, you have the name. You see the performance, she got out of me ? I mean, I didn't I didn't think I had that in me . What a camphomer spraying a bottle. Oh , and this vibe shouldn't think . I nicked my bottle of Nopolite. I have it at home. And here's the thing . We got a new cleaner, right? So I had the bottle of Nopolite in my office, and we got a hu clegeaner . And few , when I come home, I found the empty bottle of Nopelade in the bin . Because she thought, Oh, this is just empty an empty bottle of cleaner and chucked it out. That's like throwing away precious artwork. No , I was like no So were there any upsets on set? Did anyone cause a seed? No, no. Everyone was lovely . It was a really , really fun experience. And in the bit that I was doing in the shopping center, you know, there were lots of extras and things, and you just thought a word is gonna leak out that this is happening and or that people and I think there was some sort of online thing that Donal was doing something with Taylor or but no one joined all the dots and came up with It's everyone off the Graham North Show. I certainly read things that she was filming a secret video, is it open light video in somewhere? Some disused shopping centre, but that's kind of all that's gone out there. And that is, you know, in today's Modern Age, that is amazing. Yeah, because when you think about all the people involved in this, because it was like a movie shoot. I mean, it was a massive massive deal. Was Travis there? Saddin or Travis . No, Saddina. But her mom and dad, her brother, you know, it's it all you know, it's that thing. It all comes from her . So because she is lovely . And so, you know, she is directing this thing. It's a big budget, you know, that stress could get to you. Yeah, you could get a little t itchy. But because she didn't and because I don't think she does , the atmosphere all day was just how does she do it though? How does she keep that? She does wear it equilibrium. It is extraordinary. She wears it so lightly. She wears it so lightly and yet it must you nervous? Well, it comes with a little bit because, you know , you don't want to be the person to kind of mess it up. Oh, we've got to go again for him. You so yeah, but it was the whole thing was and we met Mandy Moore, you know, not that Mandy Moore. Yeah. Mandy Moore who does all her choreography. Yeah . She was there. I met the woman who you know the engagement photograph. Oh yes, yes , Travis in the garden that he had made up. Yeah, she was the photographer in the bushes. I met that photographer. She was there. So it's a really tight . So basically when somebody works for Taylor's although the photographer did that in the bushes and Taylor goes, Oh, I like you, you're good. Come to London. I'm doing a video. It seems the idea. Well, I'll now be our official chat show host. Grem, you are gonna get movie roles . And also , this is good for your wedding invite. Are we allowed to say that? Well, I mean, you know, I haven't been told I'm not invited. Maybe talking about this video and maybe I'll be off . No talking about the video is good, but also you kept this secret since November, so I hate you. But I'm so in awe of myself and I came so close You must have told somebody . I mean, my husband told your husband. No, Jonah was there. Jonah was out the shoot. Of course he was. But at New Year's Eve, I was with a gaggle of gaze and I just thought, Oh, this is so good. Like I want to tell them. Surely it'll be out in a minute. Surely I can tell them and then I don't know I mustn't, I mustn't, so I didn't. So apologies to all the people I could have given this juicy bit of gossip to and I didn't . But I am available now and will sing like a can oe . Okay, Marie, we keep promising dilemmas. No, we must carry on talking about Taylor. Taylor's wet, more Taylor's wet, more dilemmas now. We must wang on and help people. Maria, please grab an envelope and tear it asunder. I will, Gray, I will. Dear Gray, Maria, first of all, I want to say I love your podcast. This is an accident . Yes, this is really good. Thank you. It's just the best envelope we've ever had. Ever, ever, ever . Now I have a dilemma and would love to hear yours and the Wanger's two cents worth. My partner and I are getting married in the UK later this year. We're an international couple and so about half the guests will come from abroad. Oh yes. We're in our thirties, so lots of our invited friends have newborn babies . When planning our wedding, we envisaged a kid free wedding with the exception of our adorable nephews . However, our friends have voiced concerns about this. As they need to travel to the UK for a weekend , they aren't sure if they can leave their babies back home with a grandparent, for example. What do you think we should do? Should we hold ground and stick to our preferred kid free wedding or should we be accommodating to our friends with kids as they're travelling to the UK for our wedding , and that is from Mick . Now, Mick, my feeling is you made your first mistake with this by saying a kid free wedding with the exception of our adorable nephews. Yes, Mick, that is you can not have any exceptions to that. So stupid . I can't believe that no one else has said that you can't have a kid free wedding with kids at it. No. All your friends going, What the what are you? Yeah, yeah, for those small people and then Mick says, Oh yeah, but they're adorable. They're nephews. Yeah, they're not like your kids . Your horrible children. No, nephews be gone it's a kid full zone. I think that's so that's your first mistake, Mick. But the other thing you could do, it sounds like you're not short of a bubble two international couple as you are . You take a room in this venue and you bring in two Norland nannies or the like and you say, Yes, bring your babies, but they will be going in here to watch Miss Rachel or whatever it is that children watch. Miss Piggy, no, who is it? They don't know. We don't know because we don't have kids. No, no, no. I won't ever pretend. Miss Rachel sounds like a porn actress . That's why the kids love Oh yeah, it reminds me of a mommy she's very very popular. Let me tell you that. I bet she is. So you put the children in that room and everyone else gets drunk and does whatever they want to do. And also if you're one of those parents who can't bear to be separated, you can pop off to that room and see your kid every now, you know, every half an hour if you want, if that's the sort of person you are. I think that's a good idea. Because actually , because once you have a bit of space , shove all the kids in there, you only need a couple of people to look after them. So it won't cost you the earth and people will feel, oh good, you know, they're being looked after and all that . Yeah. Because I think a lot of people with children would really love a weekend off of their children, but there's an awful lot of guilt involved in this. And also grandparents and Leading , but most people want to get away from their children and have fun like they used to do before they but I think the thing is because people are coming from abroad , I think they feel weird leaving their kid back there. A weekend? I know what if anything happened , you're just very far away. I do get it. It's a plane crashes you mean? Well, I've thought more something happened to your child with a plane crashes, who cares? You're dead? Good luck, granny. Baby . Also sad. I'm an orphan now . All because of a stupid wedding . Child free. If only he'd invited me, I'd be dead too . I feel we get darker Egypt . And I'm not sure this is a good look. Mick started it . Refusing to bury families together. I don't know what it did. And look, I think your idea is the one is a big room to deny. Because you can't stop people bringing their children to Britain. You can't be at the border going, no, there's a height restriction . You can't come in. So they are going to bring their kids anyway and I think on the day provide a service . I'm just thinking of those nunnies or whoever's going what a terrible job that's going to be for them. Yes. Well, except that why maybe they charge do they charge extra or is it just like a flat rate? Once a nanny's in a room, she charges a fee no matter how many children are in there with her. You know, I've never looked into this Graham. Well, I think it's something something to to explore . I don't know why. I just think a nanny doing that has to charge quite a lot of money. But it's got me yes. I mean, the other problem is, I think as people get drunk, they'll start kind of going , Oh, I'll just bring Let me bring it in to dance to the birdie song. Yeah , we know what it is . We didn't need the reminder . And then go, look how cute she is. Yeah, all of that. Or you do a sort of twofold thing where you say, Okay, we're going to have the day where you can bring your children, but the children all have to be gone by seven o'clock. Yeah. When we all know take magic mushrooms and go crazy. Of course . Micah is an international couple. The good thing from writing to us , we may not have solved the problem, but at least we've pointed out giant problem that you cannot cannot have your adorable nephews at this wedding that's just But you see, I think the adorable nephews being there. I think they're the wife's side, by the way, as well. I think she has made that prov iso that the nephews are coming. Maybe they're going to be page boys or something . You see, you can't really have children in any capacity at all. Well, not going up chimneys to clean it Serving the table . No children means no children. No. I think you could have a child in a sport suit, you know, throwing some petals or something, but then they need to vanish. They cannot be there for the reception. They go. You're gonna witcher. They go into the room. We're going to a room with this with this nanny's charge of thousands of pounds. It's a thousand pounds a kid I finished it at midnight. Yeah, I leave them on attended at midnight . Up to you They come back covered in soot. So our solution is either have a two tier wedding where the kids are allowed for a certain amount of time to dance with the birdies on and then they must vanish into the nanny room or you put them in the nanny room from the get go. But that has to include the nephew's make s ense. Wangers, I'm sure. This is the sort of thing people love wanging on about because it's a wedding and everyone else's wedding is wrong. Yeah . It's not how I'd have done it. Yeah. No. The mistake they made was having it. Will says Nobody and I mean nobody wants babies at a wedding. You hear they'll cry at their own times, they'll puke all over the place. You'll have to pretend you're delighted to see them and then after all that they won't even bring a present. Stick to your guns, no, no , no . The other thing is you've got to feed the little gas . You know, they'll be sitting on a chair and there'll be a plate and the menu will go Oh by the way, even though they're not eating that you know twenty five quid ahead. Yeah , so you know it's madness. I think you just put them in a room with big one a of those water cool er things with loads of sugar water and they just stop going whenever start screaming and running into walls . Amanda in Acton Turville , I have no idea where that is. I don't want to. No, okay. She says, I suspect that those guests who now have kids went to plenty of weddings , including their own, where they enjoyed a stress free time without screaming babies and demanding toddlers. Why should this couple not enjoy the same freedom? If it really is impossible for your guests, how about providing a slightly offsight crash? Here's the thing though. I like that. But people do get very upset if they're not allowed to bring their children to wedding. Fine, don't you don't want them there. But I think weirdly upset about it. It's all because it's somehow negating their lifestyle choices that they've had children, but they are not welcome. Because children are meant to always be welcome. I mean, I'd like to bring my dog to a wedding, but I understand that I can't. Allie is in Ireland and has said this voice note. I think that when people have children, especially babies , they become the most important part of their lives. It's your wedding so if, you don't want children to be there, that's totally fair enough, but I think you'll have to recognise that that might mean that it's not feasible for certain people to go to your wedding. A compromise would be to allow children up to a certain point , five o'clock or whatever, and that would allow one of the parents to go home with the children or for them to get a babysitter for a few hours. All very wise and a very lovely voice from Ali. Yes. I wonder here's the other thing , what is a child? Like what's the age cut off? You know, can someone come if they're fourteen? I think anyone that can't support themselves financially Anyone who can't pay for their own meal ? Natalie says, Most of your friends with babies won't come to your wedding if they can't bring their young children, and it will likely harm your friendships as well. In ten years time, what will matter more? Remember they're doing you a huge favor by spending time and money travelling to your wedding. The least you can do is let them bring the little ones. No , what's with having the ad orable nephews there? Are you sure they're not just a cute accessory? Tread very carefully. Natalie is very much my children, my life, yeah. No, but also people must be able to like this is not, it's like Mick and his international couple wife . They are not freaks and weirdos by not wanting children at their wedding. I can remember who Water Wanger said, Nobody wants babies and weddings. No one not even the parents. No . So I think you know we understand that if you have children, you probably have to travel with them . But even actually you don't want to pay for the plane thing. You know, there's so much expense once you've had these children. Yeah, yeah. I think you should have on the invitation no children, absolutely no children, dogs welcome. Yes. That'd be lovely. Yeah . And they just have a room full of dogs going . Oh, that'd be love that'd be great, wouldn't it? Oh, there'd be nobody dancing to the birdie song. They'd all be in there. Best wedding ever. They'd all be in the room with the dogs. I think we have revealed who we are. Honey Graham . Child ish dog people . As ever we're keen to hear more hot takes on this problem.

I've been dying to open this grey. Oh, no, this one looks good, doesn't it? Does it? Yeah . You say that about all the letters Gray andman often they're very disappointing . Dear Graham and Maria , my partner and I bought our first house together a year ago here in Sydney. When we moved in our house came with the standard three upright bins with wheels . Red, general waste, yellow, recycling, and green, kitchen organics and garden waste. I hate the green bin . Riveted, keep up. We detested the site of our wall of bins, so we got the council to downsize our ones to smaller versions , still three bins, but much less dominating . Keep going, I love this problem. You love a bin? I do. Enter our new neighbors. Ah, two very nice women by all accounts, who promptly ordered themselves a whopping newbie green bin that along with its sidekicks, do you know the colours now sits pretty much in front of our house and in the middle of the footpath. So now in front of our fence stands the great wall of garbage receptacles , six bins in a row a red, green and yellow plastic eyesaw, a shrine to disposability, and it's ruining my flowering vines and white picket fence aesthetic that we spent no small fortune purchasing the council useless This situation will never change on their accounts so what do we do? How do we handle this? Short of lighting a bonfire in the yard and sending a column of noxious black smoke into the sky to burn our waste each week. Help . Yours in trash talk Bin Laden. Do you see what they did there? Oh there's a picture there's a picture. Pick attached for you to get a sense of the mess. We aren't making this up. PPS, sorry to miss you on your trip down under Graham. Please bring Maria and Raffi back and do a whanging on live. Okay . All right, this is the picture of you. So these are the small bins, which look quite big . And then these are the extremely big bins. And that bit of old tree and that tatty shrub is the thing that she's concerned about. The white pickets fence aesthetic. Now there is a white picket fence in the rear. A bit of ivy. Oh, the small things. You see, to me, Graham, because this picture just shows some bins and they don't I can't see the tiny ones. When she said we've ordered tiny ones, I thought she meant like a tall. They're not tight. They're smaller. These ones are smaller than these ones. Do you see they're very big? Yeah, those are small I have to say, Graham, I'm slightly at a loss here whether it would kill myself now or later. The fact that this person telling us about how useless the council is in Sydney . I mean I have a like if you don't want to deal with wheelie bins and things, live with the country. I say that in Ireland , I still have bins and things, you know, you've got to be like in Ireland, this is the interesting thing. I remember having a sort of Christmas is it though Chris . Is it interesting? I'm trying to join in. I'm trying to join in . You can't put your rubbish anywhere because everyone has locked bins because the bins go on way. The weight . So you think, Oh, I'll just put my rubbish in that bin and it can't open. The recycling's free. Recycling is free and the bin bin you pay for. So it encourages people to put as much they can in the recycling. But you can't put rubbish like a, you know, crisp packet in a recycling, can you? No . So what are you going to do? Put it on the floor eat it . Shred it and eat it. Yes. Put it in a cake. Often often tastier than the crisps inside . Totoes, I believe. No, that is sacrily there or potatoes. No, but all I would say is wherever you go, you're going to have this problem. There are bins. Once you buy a house , it comes with bins and that's just a part of everyday life. And you becoming obsessed by the size, the color of these bins. I mean, yes, it is a lot of bins, but that's where you live. Yeah I mean, in Bin Laden, we don't actually have a real name for this person , but I would say could you perhaps pop next door and say to your new neighbors, lovely women by all accounts , would you mind getting smaller bins? I mean, that is so petty they're just gonna shoe you away and say be gone. And also it won't improve the aesthetic of this picture. There'll still be six fucking bins outside, you know, with different colored lids on. So you just need to stop thinking about this. It's obviously and it's sometimes I feel like with neighborhood problems or neighbor problems or citrus, once you let it in, it's going to make you crazy. It's going to drive you insane. The other thing I was thinking Graham what about a bin store so you get a little carpenter person or yourself if you're that way inclined or the lady's next door. Apparently very nice . And you make a sort of wooden panel , then you could do a lovely tromplois of bins . So your height nice old fashioned bins, nice with a kind of a metal lid slightly ascued . Perhaps a cat popping out. Yes . And a small child, little urchin child . No, you get you cover them up. That's what people seem to do. Everyone knows there's bins behind them, but you cover it up with a wooden thing and then you open a little gate and there are the bins on binde, but you don't have to look at the red, green, and yellow. You can buy them online, those things. And yes, you can. And you in Sydney though? Yes, you can . Yeah, I was looking for garden trellis when I was there. Oh my goodness, what's happened to you? What have you done with Graham Norton? Bring him back immediately. No, there are companies that will sell these things and different sizes and dude daughter. Is that solution a though to Bin Laden's problem? Is that a good one? I don't cheer them up that they've now got a little, you know, a structure. They seem to like things. Yeah , and then pop the bins in. I mean, I'm not sure there will be a structure large enough to accommodate the big bins from next door, but there you go. Well, it's a sort of L shaped, so you can make a little L shaped cupboard. And then you can paint it white that goes with your picket fence. Aesthetic. Aesthetic, yes, and then everybody will be happy. But you might have to say to the paper next door, very nice by all accounts would you mind awfully if we build a little thing and maybe you could pay half. But also, I take great pleasure in the being . Oh my goodness. I do genuinely do. In what way, please talk me to it. I like putting the recycling in the recycling. I like remembering when the bins have to go out. I like then discovering they're empty like magic and, I like bringing them back in . I enjoy it all. So in your house, you're in charge of the bin. This looks like heaven to me . Apart Apart from the food slop bin. Yeah, I hate the food slot bin. Suddenly we're like medieval peasants carving slops around. Isn't that composting? Isn't that what we call compost? No, it's like it's all crap that is all food waste goes in a they call it a caddy. It's a slop spocket. Yeah, I hate it. And that gets what happens to the slops bucket? You know, it just gets put in the other all goes in the back of the one truck, I think. But anyway, along with the recycling. Yeah, but I don't care what happens after I leave my house . I enjoy the separation in my house and I enjoy the putting it out and bring it back in. Wow. I've found the front page everyone. No, but I found joy. And whereas, you know, I think Bin Laden could find joy , you know, if and obviously is as obsessed by beans as I am , but they've chosen to be annoyed by them and I've chosen to like them. I'm going to stop you there. No, I have some words to say? You bought on a coffin pit ? Have the Wangers got anything to say about no? Okay they haven't. Yes, they do. Okay , Stephen Stephen from Glasgow says Move to a deserted island and bury your rubbish or throw it in the sea. Unfortunately we all have to coexist alongside one another on this crowded planet so suck it up . ne Yighourbors could be blasting music and shagging on their trampoline, so count yourself lucky for this little problem. I'm with you, Steven Hoffman . I'm slightly annoyed. I didn't read that in a Glass Region accent. Oh, please don't no Kiara, Kiara in the lake district says what a load of rubbish . And she even says, See what I did there. No . Set up a homeowner's association with existing neighbours and become the head of said HOA . Google how to set it up. It seems like a lot of admin but you seem fond of writing things. Then send a letter to the new girls welcoming them with a set of brief guid elines for the street and ensure bin size is stipulated. This will hopefully prompt a switch back. No, that's not going to happen. I don't think. Kerry says. I mean, that's like making a problem worse. Now we're in a house owners association . Which nobody wants. Kerry says maybe mention it to the neighbors diplomatically how say what to them? They may not like the size of your bin. Yes, they may not realize the bins coming different sizes . Perhaps they could keep the bins out of sight until bin collection day where? Where are they putting them in the bedroom? In the UK , you can get the leafy wrap. Oh now you see. The leafy wrap which people put around their bins. I will try and get to know the ladies. These things are often easier to navigate once you know each other rather than starting off on the wrong foot. That is very true, but I now am Googling Leafy Wrap. How did I get to this age? And not know about leafy wrap ? And also like we live in London. Do people not bother with leafy wrap in London? Maybe they don't. Because I guess London's urban. Maybe if you live in the country, you think, oh let's, make it leafy.. I don't know Leafy wrap. Leafy can look up. Jack in Bristol says, surely you can just very politely ask them to move their bins in front of their own house. No, tell them they block your light and access and that's, why you've got smaller ones for yourselves. Now go forth and enjoy your white picket fence life with your first world problems. I mean, I do think that this is an issue that affects everyone. I just have to say one last thing. My friends have done this thing where they constructed the bin store . And then on the top of it, I'm warming to this theater after two hours . On the top of the bin store, they've got a living kind of not like a living wall , but it's like a living to a window box. No, it's the whole bit of the top of the wall like a grass roof. Yeah. Oh yeah. It's very nice . Can I just say to the anonymous in Sydney sort of your p aving as well. I know the council's useless. Something else to worry about. Look, personally in Sydney, thank you for getting in touch. And we love that you wrote all the way from Sydney about your bins. And if you are getting in touch with any advice or with a dilemma, let us know where you are because we're very nosy. We'll have more serious problems just like that one next week. But for now it's time for Am I weird. We should have a proper little sting. I was thinking this should be a jingle. Oh, weird that kind of thing. But then we've also got to have one that says wanging on. Oh no, no . Okay . Today's Am I Weird comes to us from Cynthia. Hi Graham and Maria. I've really got into family tree slash ancestry searches. Goodness. I like to find high school photos for everyone and then I judge how attractive they were. Considering these are all relatives , that probably isn't quite the norm . Am I weird? I don't think you're weird, Cynthia, but I think you need more in your life. Look, I'm very open minded, but I feel are you though? I feel I feel , Cynthia, that perving over pictures of relatives is weird . Let's call it weird because we can't call it normal. What ? Is she perving over dead relatives? Well, it doesn't matter, they're just relatives. Well, she likes to look to see how attractive they were . So in this family tree then there's a lot of dead people there. Okay. So I think so then she can say that's okay . I don't think it's any of it's okay. I'm thinking read a book . She is about ancestry . I don't think you're weird, but I do think maybe you need some other hobbies as well, Cynthia. Yes, maybe other hobbies. But I mean, and this isn't I just feel it's weird that you've admitted this that she likes to see how attractive they were . That's odd, I think. As a way to judge your family tree. What could you be looking at them for? Just to see if you've got sort of Uncle Bert's eyes that kind of thing. Do they all look alike? Yeah. Yeah . He looks like a serial killer, that sort of thing. That kind of thing. And turned out he was Yeah, which was lucky. Yeah , that was great. He was blessed . Especially he was called Stabby McSab . Nominative determinism, I believe that is called. Oh my goodness. Stabby McStab face. If you had a pen, I'd write that down . So what are we saying? Cynthia, I'm saying I'm saying actually weird. No, I'm saying get out more. Not weird, though, because you know, they're dead people. Perfect,ving pur perving over dead people isn't weird. I think it would be weird if you stuck them all on the wall in your bedroom. That would be weird. But she's just looking. Okay. Yeah, no, no. You think it's weird? I think there's something weird about kind of judging dead relatives on how hot they are. I think that's weird . And also it's just like Instagram, but in the older days, looking at old pictures and seeing, oh, I don't like that outfit she's we thataring or that is beautiful . I really don't think we should treat your family tree as tinder . I do . I say no, Cynthia. I'm saying weird. The dead cannot sue . I think that do'll for us this week. Thank goodness . I'm worried about my bins now. I'm very worried about my bins. I feel like I need to paint them all in dayglow orange. I left my recycling out this morning. Oh my goodness doesn't take it out. Oh no , what if it's still there when you get back? Is the council any good round doorway? Rubbish . Remember if you need any serious expert advice
