Council tax money well spent...

Well, not really.

"Hello, Swiss cottage leisure centre"

"Hi, I would like to book a badminton court for Thursday at 8"

"Certainly sir, whats you membership number"

"Oh, I'm not a member, I was hoping to pay and play"

"Sorry sir, you need to be a member to book over the phone"

"Oh, that's rather inconvenient - How much is a membership"

"£39 per month and you need to come in and see a membership advisor"

"So living in the borough of Camden and paying Camden council tax doesn't guarantee me the use of a badminton court...even if I am willing to pay £10 for the privilege

"No sir. Thank you sir".

That's shit that is.

Long live the Booze Cruise

See, normally this kind of news would annoy me, but seeing as so much fun can be had on a booze cruise (see evidence below) I think it's a shame that they would no longer have been needed!

How Romantic!

...or not...the guy isn't even a bloody sailor! He's a locksmith who dressed up as a sailor. How does that work? that's just cheesy!
