I think that I'm going to write to the OED and ask them to replace the official definition of "irony" with this passage:

"In 2005, the Conservative shadow chancellor claimed £47 for two copies of a DVD of his own speech on 'Value for Taxpayers Money'."

What's made you facepalm today?

[EDIT] Apart from the VC thread earlier

It's coming for me,

Yes, the irony. But also the questions: why make a DVD of that speech? Why make two copies? Why have two copies for yourself?

And why the fuck are they £23.50 each?

Admit it,
If you could claim taxpayers money for stupid shit you would.
