a bit council

Anything James Bond. Council. Ironically.

Other than the martial arts in some of them (which IMO is particularly council), I'm not sure I get this one.

Cheap laminate flooring in the kitchen that doesn't extend under the washing machine, thus leaving the original scuzzy floorboards exposed.

Learning martial arts isn't Council as such, it's just weird.

If I ever meet anyone who's keen to impress their martial arts expertise onto anyone who'll listen, I always try to ask - in earnest - if that they could be 'considered a lethal weapon?'.

There was a great quote I read about that stuff ages ago... "There's three type of people who can get away with learning martial arts; 1, the Japanese, 2, kids, and 3, bully victims"

(I didn't think that was intended as being disrespectful to the Japanese, however. It's a huge and interesting part of their culture that is absolutely worth respecting)

Having any sort of sports TV subscription is council.

On the plus side it immediately lets you know if a pub is rough or not. 'Sky Sports Shown Her'e banner outside = council.

An immediate invitation to keep walking to the next establishment.

This could be refined to "Kitchens without built-in appliances".

A bit of a BOGOF here.

Not only discarding your empty fast-food boxes on the pavement, but leaving a soiled nappy on the seat at a bus-shelter has to be off the scale.

[austinsmirk]

went in a council flat a few weeks ago which had been extensively fit with laminate.

Not a single piece was laid in a stretcher bond- i.e like brick work is.

so no over lapping joints.

added to the fact the place was filthy, it was an amazing installation. wobbly as anything and very weak.

mind you Ive seen people hang wallpaper laterally and also hang it with drawing pins so they can take it with them.

You've just made me realise I've referenced arson twice in this thread... pyromania = council!!! Oh no!

Actually, mental illness in general; COUNCIL!!! Get the Tories in on this thread. It's their spiritual home!

For extra council points burn down the house of the local "Peedo" who is actually just a guy who lives on his own.

Set fire to a neighbour's flat over some argument forgetting they live below you, thus killing them, a neighbouring OAP/War veteran, plus your partner/kids/parents (In some estates that's just one person) in the process.

Burn something that's actually useful to you like the local corner shop. Only when it's gone do you realise it was the only place in walking distance that you could buy your cheap strong booze, energy drinks, rolling tobacco and scratch cards from.

For council gold. Bragging about undertaking the above acts on Facebook.

Sharing pictures of recently ex'd cons years after their original (and well publicised) trial and incarceration... you probably know who I'm referring to (and have very little sympathy for) but the poor souls who look just like the pictures being banded around Facebook... I dread to think what happens to them should some fool 'recognise' them.

I'm not on Dramabook, what's the story there?

How about doing something like this ?

+ white cable not hidden
+ white / plastic wall socket
+ Torus skirting board (forgive me if its ogee, i'm not certain from the picture)

Either way, pretty much as caancil as it gets

In my defence, the cable was hidden very shortly after that pic was taken (we'd just moved in), and the sockets and skirting boards were not our choice (though I do actually like the skirting boards!)

In his defence those are Ogee skirtings.

Get in. Think I'll celebrate with an oversized can of energy drink.

White plastic wall socket ?

Would you prefer brushed "aluminium " which definitely = council

I've learnt something new today.

'Stretcher Bond' Like bricks are laid. So nothing to do with an over reaching spy.

Also a good band name. Indie Rock? New Country?

Don't remind me...

An attack of this nature took place several years ago (no fire, lots of paint) about 300 yards from my house.
On what used to be the largest council estate in Europe

Someone's posted a picture of who they claim is Jon Venables, raging how he's walking free and deserves X, Y and Z. Of course, the bloke in the picture could be anybody. He doesnt look anything like he did back in 1993. The bloke in the picture could be Venables, or it could be someone else entirely (he looks like any fat goth you could could pluck out of a Games Workshop).

It's been shared a million times and everyone's raging about the man they see in the picture.

This isn't uncommon. There's loads of that stuff.

I read this on the BBC site, probably not in keeping with the thread but although it made me smile I actually felt a bit sorry for them.
