Dim bulbs

GORDON BROWN IS TALKING TO THE QUEEN.

QUEEN
Primeminister you promised they wouldn't go dim ever.

GORDON
I'm sorry your majesty I thought they would stay bright for 10 years, I thought they'd be good for the environment. Why did I get long life bulbs for Parliament?

QUEEN
I wasn't referring to the light bulbs. I was talking about your cabinet.

GORDON
Hmm they are a bit dim but what's the alternative?

WILLIAM HAGUE WALKS ON.

WILLIAM
A nice shiny conservative bulb head.

GORDON
That didn't 6 months.

Seems to be an important word missing in your punchline there, soot.

-- but not least.
