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?

Sheffield RoadsFollowing up on the lower post about Sheffield City Council and the city roads...
1. If you've never been to Sheffield city centre - DON'T drive there. You will get lost. When the tram system was installed (which goes from nowhere to nowhere whilst avoiding the main population centres around the town - another great council scheme, like the World Student Games fuck up and the New Town Hall) the council had the great idea of making much of the road system one-way. So, you'll either get lost, give up and go somewhere else, or somehow find yourself on Manor Top. Which you don't want to be.
2. Some of the roads around the town are Sheffield's own version of the RAC Rally. I'm talking the whole of Rivelin Valley, much of Ecclesfield and Chapeltown and don't get me started on Hillborough. I can only talk of the north side of town but I'm sure the south side is worse.
3. The 'ring road' - it's not a ring, and it does a pretty poor job of allowing you to get anywhere. And the new inner ring road is just a wider, quicker route for pimps and punters to make their way through the red light district.
I'm not bitter about Sheffield, I love my home town and driving through it is much more tolerable than Manchester or Birmingham. But that's only after 10 years practice...
