The Adventures of Interfero #12

This is the last one, don’t be expecting a grand finale though.  It pretty much just ends with a dog, Nazis, Bruce Willis and Roy Castle.

Would you smash it?

No sadly I won’t be wading into the sexism row, I just couldn’t think of a good title for this post.

Now I usually do a Spotify Playlist each month but frankly I’ve hardly listened to any music since my Favourite 31 of 2010 with the exception of Best Coast’s Crazy For You, which I officially adore.

Anyway, the aforementioned Best Coast have a new video out as to my long-term favourites Lucky Soul.

Best Coast’s music video for ‘Crazy for You’ features a lot of cats.  In general I hate cats and nothing has changed but I really like the video and the song anyway.

Lucky Soul’s new video is for Upon Hilly Fields and when I first pressed play I disappointedly thought “oh, animation” to myself.  However, it won me right over and fits perfectly with the song from their album ‘A Coming of Age’.  So I suggest you watch it.

I’ve got two left, so this shall be the penultimate one (if you’re still with it).  Unless I decide to make a few new ones, frankly I don’t have the time.

My 5 Point Plan to Clear The National Debt

Well I have hardly posted anything on here that isn’t something old for a while so I thought I’d get into stupid rant mode and try my hand at solving the national debt of the United Kingdom in one small post.

So here is my, as the title says, 5 point plan to clear the national debt.

1. Send the Royal Family on a global stadium tour. If Jerry Seinfeld can charge £100 per ticket then I reckon the Queen & Co can charge at least £105.

They can all pull out their party tricks, Prince Phillip can do stand-up and point out the foibles of foreigners in the front row, Charles and Camilla can do a series of duets and the Queen herself can do an on-stage demonstration of how to throttle pheasants.

2.  Everyone hates bankers right? So let’s put them in stocks, one banker, per day, outside each bank until the debt is done.  To kickstart the economy we’ll charge £2 a turn and for that £2 you get £1 of left over fruit from the shops to hurl at them.

3.  Cancel Christmas. Perhaps the most controversial one I know, perhaps.  But I can’t be the only sick of frittering their money away on gifts for people.  Instead of paying out 100′s of pounds on present, let’s all just make a contribution to paying off the debt.  It’d probably only take three years, then we can get back to putting all the pressies we buy back on a credit cards and everyone will be happy.  Perhaps Oliver Cromwell got it right.

Granted this will probably mean a load of shops shutting because of the lack of festive shopping and might hinder the economy further.  Still, I reckon I have just as valid a grounding in economics and finance as George Osborne.   We both got 2:1′s at university, we both started out doing data entry, although I’m sure his working at Selfridge’s qualifies him better for his job as Chancellor better than my 2 1/2 years in the finance department of social services.

4.  Make crack legal.  Life sucks.  People are out of work, they can’t pay their mortgage, we’re getting no interest in the banks so we need something to spend our money on.  Why not crack?  Phil Mitchell had a great time smoking crack all day and listening to The Who, so why can’t the rest of us?  Crack is everyone’s friend (@Moffaloff, 2011).  Obviously the reason for legalising crack isn’t just to make life a little more bearable for everyone but to slap a tax on it and bring in lots of money for the national coffers.  In addition to crack we could add marijuana, prostitution and polygamy to the list.  Why polygamy?  Sounds like it could be fun.

5. Pay it off in kind. Dave, George, Vince, Nick and their colleagues in the coalition seem so eager to pay off the debt why not send them all to pay it off in kind whether it is to the banks, China or any other of our creditors.

I’m sure we’d all be more than happy to see them bend over and take one for the team.  As our dear leader said himself “we are all in this together’ that is not a cry for help but a call to arms…it’s fair that those with broader shoulders should bear a greater load.” I guess that means George Osbourne gets it’s twice as much or twice as hard.  We can even flog it as Cabinet Cumfest on DVD and Bluray, probably not 3D though, no one really wants to see Dave’s perfectly formed quiff flapping around in their face whilst he’s getting rammed from behind by a sweaty old man.

Somehow I did reach double figures when I did these, but don’ get too excited it’ll be over soon.  This is probably the most dated as most of the people in it are dead, apart from Dubya and Spuggie – and I can’t be certain that Spuggie ain’t dead too.

Part nine features two members of The A-Team and a Native American ghost, who happens to be blonde.  You’ll work that out for yourself.
