"How About Some More Beans, Mr Taggart?"

.
It it a competition between Govt departments to see how much public money they can piss up the wall before the election. First from 'Change4Life' (how very 'with it') we have £640,000 spent sponsoring The Simpsons

Now in my trawl across the interwebs, I find this.



I wonder how much the HSE (for it is them) had to shell out to Warner Bros to use that clip. I know we should have all seen enough American TV to know that the Septics use 'gas' for 'wind'. but is the link strong enough to shell out our money for the clip, I don't think so.


As an aside David Duff at Duff & Nonsense recently posited "What two films could you watch over and over again?"
Whilst I tend to like a couple of months break between favourites. I have to admit, I could quite happily sit down in front of Blazing Saddles every night.

and here's the original.

  1. Blazing saddles is the greatest film ever! Has anyone got any dimes?

    On the issue of govt spending before the election, I had an example just the other day. I visited a local leisure centre to play indoor cricket - I hadn't been there for over 6 months. Building works were going on apace. I enquired as to the use for the new buildings, and was told they were a new centre for childrens activities. I asked when it was opening and was told it had to be finished before April because they 'had to spend the money before then'.

Due to the amount of spam that happens as soon as I enable 'Anon' comments. I'm afraid you'll have to log in to comment. It's that or I turn on the 'CAPCHA' and nobody likes that
