Council CuntsStallion Explosion writes "I was in a record shop in Melbourne, flicking through the vinyl, when I found a record entitled 'Hackney Council Are A Bunch Of Cunts'"
We agree.
Have you been trapped in the relentless petty minded bureaucracy of your local council?
Why does it require 3 forms of ID to get a parking permit when the car in question is busy receiving a parking ticket right outside the parking office?
Or do you work for Hackney Council?

German bureaucracyLiving in Munich I have come across some fantastic efforts. Many Germans (most in fact) defy the stereotypes and are easy-going, willing to bend the rules etc. etc. for minor things, but naturally the government and council employees are a whole nother story.
The best moment for me was on my arrival. Job will not let me sign the contract until I have a bank account to put the money into. The bank won't let me open an account unless I have a residency permit. You can see this coming, can't you. Council won't give me a residency permit whitout proof of a job.
You would think that with about 10 000 working foreigners here in Munich alone they would have sussed this one out long ago, but, no apparently not.
Frankly, that was the least of some of what I have to put up with. Ironically I am actually one of them as technically here I am a civil servant.
