A skip!
A skip
Ask him.
Put a skip under the window and chuck the plaster (and yourself) out of it into the skip.
Feck off if I'm getting a skip, the moment I go upstairs to get the first load every other cnut from the surrounding area will fill it with their shite..
There must be another way

I did that at a mates house once, we fecked up about 4 cars outside due to falling bricks and stuff, including his.
Get a mini skip and a plastic shute, piece of piss, even for a Welsh tart.
Look you daft cnut, I just need some sort of feckin strong box or bag so I can cart the pile of shit from A to B..
With A being my spare room
and B being someone elses skip

Best to employ no-brains like yourself Davo for such mundane tasks.

Typical attitude of a poncey office sort..
or in your case, a housewife
Put the plaster in tough plastic bags - not bin bags by the way - and tie the bags up securely with a rope and then lower them out of the bedroom window.
Stack neatly and ask council to remove.

Plastic bags??? There's feckin loads of it..I need big feck off bags..
And I don't need to lower it from the bleedin window, I'll just take it down the stairs when I find sonething to carry it in.
Sod off Marching, you're too old to understand the complex world of the general handyman like myself...they don't have rag and bone men anymore...

Why not buy a pair of those special World War 2 POW trousers and scatter the rubbish all over your neighbours gardens?
If you do it subtley they'll never notice and you'll have the added bonus of experiencing exactly what it must have been like to live as an allied captive at Colditz castle......

Put it in sacks.
Try plastic storage boxes, the sort used as toyboxes, you can get 'em from toys'r'us easy enough.

I take it the rest of the house/flat/hole in the ground is a wreck too or you would nt be thinking of carting a load of rubbish through it.
Trust me it is easier to take it out of the window.
That is unless you are on the 21st floor of a tower block.
Is that the problem mate?
Davo, just admit you're out of your depth and should try something a little less challenging.

You won't catch me giving up so easily and turning to housework JSV..
I'd expect nothing less of a grade A ponce like yourself

Bear in mind that I, unlike you, am not 67 years of age and extremely frail....and therefore am unlikely to drop it..</strong><hr></blockquote>
But you have the mental age of a 6/7 yr old...do you not see that it is easier to take it out of the window instead of carrying bags downstairs?
You are in a towerblock aren't you?

Davo, if it weren't for people like me, members of the lower class such as yourself would have no purpose in life. You were born to shift rubble.
Go to the builders yard and ask for one of them 2 meter wide canvas containers that they sometimes fill up with sand
Take that home, fill it with your shit and then come on here and we'll give you advice on how you can get it down the stairs

And give up? I haven't started.
Your brain is obviously working overtime to solve this tricky conundrum.
I better get back to it in a minute..
I'll just have a quick can of lager first, I deserve a break....

Just to clarify folks,
Can of lager = smirnoff ice

when my brother was working on his house he had a skip outside it. One day there was a wee fella of about 8 years old playing in the skip..my brother opened the door and shouted out to him "get out of it thats not a toy"..the wee lad replied "nawwww, i thought it was a mighty morphing power ranger"
sarcasm from an 8 year old! fecking class.
