So the good thing about my job is I get to organise an event and put a steam train in the middle of it.... the bad part? Well that's the "I have to fill in a Development Application" bit.

Yup these days you can't just put a whole heap of cool stuff in a public space and say 'Hey everyone come and have some fun!' Nope! First you've got to let all the unfun people have a chance to complain AND then you've got to have an outside consultant look at it to decide if it's legitimate fun AND then council has to vote on it!

Thank God I live in a democracy. I feel so safe.
