Robotic Bins and Benches in Cambridge
OldBus writes "According to the BBC robotic bins and benches have been installed in Cambridge. According to the article, they 'move and chuckle' and 'sing when the sun comes out.'" From the article: "Mr Bogen hopes the cutting edge technology would help keep the bins and benches safe from theft. The Junction has a three year maintenance contract with Greyworld and plans to name all the bins and benches individually to make carrying out repairs easier."
Yeah, I remember when they tried out that "yellow bicycle" concept in Austin. It worked great in Europe, evidently. However, Europe doesn't have Mexicans. Within a few weeks, most of the yellow bikes were nowhere to be found.
Shutting down free speech with violence isn't fighting fascism. It IS fascism!
Well, seeing as it's England they won't be singing much anyway ;)
Well, at least you didn't miss the irony. Oh shit, there it is again. Don't take it seriously, I get pissed off at the overuse of that expression too, so I took the opportunity to deprive the people who do find it funny of the chance to do it ;)
In Soviet Russia, electronic Dalek bins rubbish you!
The only problem being in that this one was one of the actual funny ones. Well played.
