It's all lonely here

Nice to see you have so many ideas, but my message was really about the fact that apart from this thread, I can't see anything else.
I mean, no details on the kit, no presentation of the challenge, nothing.

And now that I have posted these two messages, I can actually see all the details that I could not see before.

I believe this comes from the fact that I am now part of the group. But coming from the front page image in the carrousel, it was a very strange behavior.

Ever seen the 1986 movie 'Malcolm' with the remote-controlled waste bins scene ?

Not seen that, but the local waste collection people gave me a little mini bin earlier this year (well, two by mistake, and I've not used either one so far..) with little wheels on them, turn them into something more useful. When I saw this challenge, it made me think maybe they needed electrical motion added to both (but lack of time.. : (

That film's definitely worth a watch. Just seeing those bins has Penguin Cafe Orchestra playing in my head.

It was released the same year as Crocodile Dundee, so it probably didn't get quite the same viewing that it deserved.

Kitchen waste recycling caddies per chance ?

On windy days here, the wheelie bins get to do their Dalek impersonations roaming the street.

I think John has a bit of a head start on this competition:

You never know.

Some ghosts are active others are just passive.

Good to know it was just a group membership display bug after clicking the carousel link! It definitely looked like a ghost town at first, but glad to see the full challenge details are visible now.
