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?

BT... Wankers... part twelve billion
i worked for the bloody company in a call centre and lets just say i had an inkling that all they gave a monkeys about was sales and kissing the arses of their business customers. then just over a month ago i had to set up a line as the polish housemates had left taking the router with them
set up the line no probs, date was set for the installation only to be told that as the line was with another provider (probably owned by bt openreach their "non competition" company) I'd have to pay the full installation charge of £124.99 along with the good old line rental... and of course the line was only for broadband.
so line gets set up, engineer turns up late and its all fine and dandy, i try to set up broadband (i get it with my colourful phone contract free or stupidly cheap) and get told bt havent' finished working on the line and closing the order, cue a phonecall to bt including 20 mins on hold then being hung up on several times and trying to steer the stress busting automated service to something other than a sales channel who say it'll be done tonight, more work is getting sorted it'll be done by monday. Two days later the whole thing is deader than a dead thing. Cue another call to BT, this time i get told firstly to remove the front of the phone line box and plug a phone in there, then told to use another phone... as the house is toolkit free, i use a knife to check, absolutely dead line. I get frustrated at the line test twat on the line who gets more condescending by the min. I hang up, call again in 5 mins, get told that yes there is an apparent fault, but if there isnt really they'll charge 99.99 for each subsequent visit. I get annoyed, tell them the line is only for my free broadband package and would have stayed with other provider if it wasnt a requirement to have a bt line. two days pass, engineer comes round at dawns crack and he jocularly says actually he's just done a full installation and the line hadnt been there in the first place. am awaiting the quarterly bill now... going to go postal if it has any additional charges on it.
And as for canterbuggery city council... gah. fortnightly rubbish collections and woe betide anyone who actually leaves the bin lid slightly ajar...
