Sidney the Bin and Nancy la Poubelle are
two radio-controlled wheely bins. After their first appearance
at the Chelmsford V festival radio Xfm repeatedly broadcast,
"The best thing I saw at Chelmsford V festival was James
Brown being chased by Sidney the blue wheely bin".
After the millennium dome opened people interviewed on BBC
Radio 4 said ".. I especially liked being chased by
the robotic bins".
|
Unless you have first hand experience of this surreal phenomenon
it is hard to explain the power and the impact the performing
bins have. They are frequently asked to return and perform
again having travelled the world.

If people ever work out the how and the where they can
find the Boffins two slimy disgusting looking engineers
from the bowels of an electronics shop that have created
these bionic bins and take them out to terrorise and amaze
the local populace. Maybe this is the way to attract girls? |
