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?

Paper, paper everywhere...The place where I work generates ALOT of extra paper, some of which we rip up and use for notepads and the like. But there is too much of it for it all to be used (even more so now everything is computerised of course.) We also generate a great deal of waste cardboard which is collected once a week by a company employed by the council to do just that. A colleague rang the council to ask if they could provide a large bin for the paper similar to the one we put our cardboard in. They're thinking about it. She explained that in the meantime a couple of us are taking their wastepaper home and putting in their own recycling bins. 'I'll have to pretend I didn't hear that,' the woman at the council said, 'because it counts as industrial waste and shouldn't be handled by individuals.'
So it's all right for 'industrial waste' to get chucked into the rubbish that goes into landfill, then?
Plus, it's fucking PAPER.
Every so often I get lift home with several carrier bags of paper. I empty them into the recyclying bin and the next day I take the carrier bags back to work (I work behind the scenes in a shop) ready to use them again. It makes fuck all difference to the planet but it gives me satisfaction.
