    Default Actual British Gov Commercial on How to Eat Leftovers

    Ok I thought this was a joke, but it actually has a message from the Brit government on how to properly eat reheated food (they need tax money for that, bunch of wussies).
    Diarrhoea video.

    What the heck is the extemporaneous "o" in there for, just for kicks and to make it even more difficult to spell?

    I'm used to extra "a"s, and their love affair with the letter "u", but "o"?
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

    Yorkshire pudding is the shit! Other than that and English breakfast food there isn't a lot that is any good.

    I don't think you could pay me to eat haggis.

    The only problem IMHO is that they didn't spend more money.

    United States

    In the United States, there are approximately 76 million foodborne illnesses (26,000 cases for 100,000 inhabitants):[36]

    * 325,000 were hospitalized (111 per 100,000 inhabitants);
    * 5,000 people died (1.7 per 100,000 inhabitants.).
    * Major pathogens from food borne illness in the United States cost upwards of US $35 billion dollars in medical costs and lost productivity (1997)





    Such common sense! If only conservatards would run everything. Oh wait, they do. It's been a massive failure.

    Yeah people get sick from eating every now and then, happens to us all. But people know how to reheat food, you see they know that when it comes out of the microwave and is hot, it means you can eat it AND gee golly it tastes better then too!

    Someday, maybe you will realize that when people depend on the state to tell them how to act, they no longer use their own thoughts which are always the better choice as situations always differ.
    For example, the gov commercial just says to reheat food, does it say what kind of food or how to reheat it (over or microwave). Depends on the food, people will ALWAYS have to use their own brain. I know that saddens you but that's just the way it is, no escape from having to think for youself Waterbaby.

    Fuck man, you are the wussiest guy in America, I'm surprised you don't propose a government program to get social workers to come over and hold you by the hand in your daily routine.

    Again. How many "o"s are in diarrhea? I can't quite get over that one. What the heck would anybody need to add an "o" to that word for?

    I've never seen that one before.

    Anyway, the government have a long history of commissioning these films to point out things that people shouldn't do, things people should do and things people should be careful doing if they must do them at all.

    This was a favourite when i was a kid.

    Remember kids, don't throw frisbees into pylons or it may make your unfashionable trousers emit an awful lot of smoke. Apparently an everyday occurrence in 1970's Britain.
