I know it's hardly unprecedented, but is it really appropriate for elected officials to be using tax money to make themselves look better?

Better than wasting money on dental work.

To the rescue.

Yes but why are drunk girls wandering around leaving dog poop all over the place?

Solve THAT, council.

Notice she hasn't dropped her beer.

A girl like that could probably pull a plow in a storm. Get your rings ready, gentlemen.

Anybody remember women with dignity? I do.

I agree with dichotomy. Women with dignity complain when you cum up their ass.

Not in public, no.

What's to remember is the other 97% of the time when you have to talk to / live with / be seen in public with them and enjoy their company.

We all make choices. Sunk costs.

My dog cleans up his own barf, thank you very much.

I don't know whether it's the benadryl or what but I cannot, for the life of me, figure out what idiom you are referring to or how Churchill is being parochial. Care to explain?

Don;t mind her, she's busy being sick in the street. Didn't you see her pic in the article?

It's called rain.

In Pittsburgh, drunk girl puke and furry scat are cleaned by the pigeons.

Man, did not need to see that this early in the morning.

My first reaction to this was: "Even with my perpetual pessimism of all things governmental, I feel they deserve this for the jobs they actually have to do."

Then I remembered: "Oh yeah, the guys making these posters, and the people who will benefit from them, probably aren't the people doing these jobs."

I can't imagine any state-employed custodial personnel running for election. This is supposed to... what? Make people remember people do the jobs?
I get the sneaking suspicion that there's votes involved in all this...

/someone get me Sherlock Holmes!

LordHector: In Pittsburgh, drunk girl puke and furry scat are cleaned by the pigeons.

In s0vet russia, drunk girl scat vomits you!

"And yet people are resoundingly negative about the organisation that provides these services."

You should be resoundingly negative.

I worked in a council for about 4 months. In that time, I had about 3 weeks of what I'd call hard work. The rest of the time, I worked at about 50% of capacity, spending about half my time reading manuals and playing minesweeper (I was asking for more work all the time). There was a guy there who was sick about 2 days a month, and the response from co-workers suggested that this was quite a normal pattern.

One thing I guarantee you'll never see cut from a council budget is "twinning committee" trips where councillors get to go on a jolly every year, to little benefit to the town.

her Boobiess are ugly. Are all UK women so... Drunk and ugly?

mig15fagot: her Boobiess are ugly. Are all UK women so... Drunk and ugly?

No.

Some are worse.

/Still no cure for Dundee girls.

So, apparently, the UK is for ugly Boobies and drunkeness?

I hate people who vomit on sidewalks. It almost seems to be a sport in some sections of my neighborhood. Christ, and the sounds! The young, cocky Irish boys sound like little girls crying, and the cocky girls sound like they are being drilled by the guys who aren't vomiting.

I wish we had some sort of council that cleaned up piles of sick, especially when it contains pizza, hogies, cheese steaks etc. The vomit stays there, stains the sidewalks and becomes nostalgic reminders of good times. "Hey, Kevin! Remember when you puked here last month? Man, that was an awesome night!"

Stay classy, limeys.

BAAAAAAAARF!

re: Barfchick

Awesome!

The puking girl shouldn't be so proud of her vomit-mopping council.

She should instead refrain from such activities in the first place.

The dog owner should pick up after his own damn dog.

Is the UK turning into such a pile of infants that those previous two points are not immediately obvious to everyone?

No wonder she's throwing up, it's Bud.

Churchill2004: I know it's hardly unprecedented, but is it really appropriate for elected officials to be using tax money to make themselves look better?

Yes, otherwise incorrect public opinion will eventually lead to tax cuts and less services provided. The town will become a worse place to live (poo- and vomit-covered) and everyone will move away, leaving only those who don't mind poo and vomit free to poo and vomit as they see fit. Eventually, Trot's Pond will be overflowing down the Hershey turnpike and, winds willing, the stench will be observable from France.

Sometimes, you've just got to save people from themselves, you know.

Espertron: Awesome!

Hmm, in the first instance, not so much. If the council wants to spend my money, I'd rather it spent it enforcing licensing conditions so there weren't public drinkers puking in the street in the first place, rather than clearing up after people who are incapable of demonstrating personal responsibility.

The latter, though, is an excellent point. A lot of council services are 'invisible', it's pretty easy to remember that some workers are workshy jobsworths and forget that trading standards, for example, do a pretty important job.

Yes, but you're an adult. Clearly there are few such left in Great Britain.

No. You can't get drunk and puke in the streets. Not Yours.

Agreed.

That's a man, baby!!!

RaceDTruck:

yeah, I'm sure we are all glad that they didn't show what can come out of the basement after drinking Bud (bud mud)

Translation: "Give us more money, or else all your hair will fall out, your dog will die, your girlfriend will dump you, and you'll die painfully of flesh-eating bacteria over several weeks. Honest! We're actually doing something!"

So, basically, these councils clean up after the women they excuse in the first place. Buy any votes, letely???

So, rather than doing their job and cleaning the streets to the benefit of all the public, you'd prefer that they waste your money and everyone else's on playing nanny state and telling adults how much they should drink?

This is why we're heading for a nanny police state - people like FarkinNortherner are asking for one.

Just remember you brought this on yourself whenever you are being stomped into the ground by the jackboots.

DarkVader:So, rather than doing their job and cleaning the streets to the benefit of all the public, you'd prefer that they waste your money and everyone else's on playing nanny state and telling adults how much they should drink?

Your implication is that the sole difficulty caused by excessive drinking is a cleaning bill. Were that the case, individual rights would clearly be being oppressed for nothing more than a little money saving. However, the effects of such drinking are far from limited to the individual and, as a result, there are long standing laws concerning licensed premises.

I do indeed think that it would be more appropriate to emphasise this, rather than cleaning up after purported adults who have abdicated all personal responsibility to the severe detriment of the rest of the population.

This is why we're heading for a nanny police state - people like FarkinNortherner are asking for one.

Not so. Curtailing massively excessive drinking consumption in crowds is not analogous to telling you not to go too ride a motorbike because it's dangerous. It's far closer to telling you not to drive at 90mph past a kindergarten. Any adult with even a modicum of awareness is already aware that this is abjectly stupid, yet there are those outliers for whom the concept of self control is an unknown concept.

Just remember you brought this on yourself whenever you are being stomped into the ground by the jackboots.

I appreciate that your ability to determine nuance may be limited, but it is not necessary, or desirable, to pursue unlimited permissiveness, to the detriment of all, in the avoidance of totalitarianism.
