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?

Swan District Council, WA, Australia
After leaving the joys of Croyden and Surrey Council jobsworths, let me regale you with life on the Swan..
Keep ringing the central number, with being new to the country and not always knowing who to speak to. If they can help first, they do, if not, you get put straight though to who you need.
If they're out, just leave a message, and they call you back.
When I asked for some planning docs - the response "No problem, a flat fee admin charge is required, so why don't we send you everything we have on your house so you won't need to pay for it if you need anything else." Done the same day - Oh and they sent it to me in A3 paper form, and emailed as a PDF so that I could pass a copy on to the builder without any hassle.
Two free "Green Waste" collections from your kerb per year, and one "Household Waste", in addition to the weekly rubbish collection, and two weekly Recycling collection.
Fantastic council website, full of info, and good search facility.
Sorry, not so much bragging as trying to cheer this slightly dismal QOTW up.
PS Much as I admire Rachelswipe, I'm not voting for anyone who wants to control how much sex I have!
