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?

From the horses mouth
I do work for a council. Not saying which one, as there's currently a big old hoo ha going on concerning breach of electronic communications policy, or other such nonsense. Anyway, here's some arsebiscuits of joy to show you what fun it all is.
- I sent a message out telling everyone to not email a certain village library, as the laptop was broken. "It's probably down Dixons as we speak, being prodded by a man with a beard", I says, trying to show some of that dreaded personality that local government hates so much. Sure thing, 30 minutes later I get a call from Systems. "Can we just check you didn't send the laptop to Dixons, as this is breach of policy".
- Charging a visiting group of managers 5p for a mug of coffee.
- Not banning convicted paedophiles from this premises, nor for that matter raging alcoholics, ASBOS, perverts and 2 gentleman who have been caught wanking in public, because "banning people sends out a negative message".
- Despite having a no smoking policy, we have no "No Smoking" signs, as it is "negative".
- Telling cleaners to only hoover the building once a month, to save on time.
- Having one of my promotional posters taken down, because the colours I used "weren't allowed".
- Not being allowed to throw out a 3rd William Wankoff because "I didn't confront him while he was doing it, and so it would be my word against his".
Still, the pension plan ain't bad.
