    When I saw this thread title I had an extremely filthy thought about what kind of film the 15 members of the cabinet could make to make money. I'm going to say 20 rosaries now for my sins.


    It was so not worth it.

    That kind of film might enlighten me as to whether there is a difference between Bankers and "bankers".

    The only film this present Government would be capable of would be a recreation of the "Titanic".

    The only way to make money from that film would be people paying not to see it

    We could threaten to use it as our "tourism" clip in the next Eurovision unless each of the 100 million viewers ponied up €50 each
