This Looks Like Lots Of Fun!

as sharks take to the water,

in Regent's Canal in east London, the four sharks are part of a installation of five fibreglass sharks by architect Jaimie Shorten for the Architecture Foundation's Antepavilion project in east London, 

but what were they thinking? had they forgotten that this area is in the killjoy Hackney Council's remit? obviously they had, swing into top gear the council’s planning department, which issued a court injunction against the Architecture Foundation, the built-environment charity that organises the annual Antepavilion project, Antepavilion jury member Russell Gray, whose property company Shiva owns the Hoxton Docks venue for the installation, described the council's move as "pathetic" and claimed planning officers were "driven by their own egos",

 four of the sharks were already in the canal when the injunction was served, unfortunately this one the fifth was left high and dry, "It was just so pathetic, it was too late to affect what we've done so far. Hackney Council must have been scrambling once they became aware that some sharks were going to go onto the canal." Gray believes the council acted after reading an article about the project by Guardian architecture critic Oliver Wainwright, "It was provoked by some daft article in The Guardian by a guy who presented himself as interested in writing a serious story and then actually wrote a load of childish nonsense that was man-eaters released into the canal," said Gray, "What a f*cking asshole." note to self, never ever think of moving to Hackney, can you imagine what the councils official Christmas party would be like? grey.......and dull! you would have thought as a charity is involved, just a little leeway could have been found for this temporary installation, but never in Hackney! what a pathetic steaming pile of jobsworths.
