Here at FT Towers we enjoy a tipple or two – inevitably this often turns into One Too Many and fate finds your hapless correspondents firmly planted within the bin.

Ah, the bin of ruin! Some of us have visited the bin so many times we could get our own Bin Passport and live there for ever.

BUT! If you’re permanently in the bin, what do you do when you sober up?

There are currently two exciting things occurring in Adelaide, South Australia: 1) the Australian Olympic Swimming Trials 2) Beer In A Bin, a company that will deliver a wheelie bin full of beer or other alcoholic beverage to your door!

This looks lethal amazing – all that remains is to combine it with the self-propelling Pedibus pub (which is lots of fun, especially if you put 80s pop-rock on the ipod).

So if Ian Thorpe (miraculously) manages to squeeze in for that 6th spot on the 4x200m free relay squad he can celebrate with 50 litres of Coopers Sparkling Ale! Or if he (more likely) fails to squeeze in for that 6th spot on the 4x200m free relay squad he can drown his sorrows with 50 litres of Coopers Sparkling Ale!
