Council Cunts
Stallion 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?

earlier this month
a big A4 envelope arrived from the local council, Do Not Redirect and all the stripes and logos on it to indicate that This Is A Big Important Piece Of Post. Inside was a single sheet of paper, telling me to complete and return the enclosed form, with all documents on the attached list, within 14 days.
There was no form. There was no list.
I wish it ended there, but when I got to their office (you don't really think they'd answer the phone, do you?) the lady on reception listened to my query, looked at the letter I showed her, signed me into the building and gave me a number.
After over an hour of waiting, I went back to reception to just, you know, check, that I hadn't got my number wrong, or fallen asleep and missed it. "Oh dear," she said, and that's never a good thing to hear from anyone official, "we [no, you dumb bitch, it was YOU, personally] forgot to allocate you to an advisor."
Two minutes later I was seen, thirty seconds after that I was leaving with a 20-odd page form to fill out and a list of documentation they needed. I do hope it was the right one. I returned it (in person, and got a receipt) next-day but I haven't heard back from them yet...
