Then of course we have the Right Honourable Members who get to sit on the Privy.
Sit. Are you sure? ;)
Well it's all to do with this business of standing for something, and then when you get it you can sit on it. Much like queuing for a bus really, when you think about it. "Plenty of room upstairs!"*
*Oooh Chris, was that a side swipe at their Lordships? Well very nearly ....

So, do you get paid any munney of yoo are a Lord ? What ? Or is it juzt wun of those sinful manicures .... errr ... sinecures I meen. I fawt that they just talked all day and then later went down the pub for afters .... pukes ... perks .... perkwesits and stuff.

Well Guv, it all depended of course upon whether you read it as spare seats in the Upper House *not called the dress circle for nuffin* or room for more brainy cells in the bendy bone, if you catch my drift*.
Members of the Lords do not receive a salary but are eligible for allowances and may claim a flat rate attendance allowance of up to £300 for each sitting day they attend the House. Any overnight and other costs are contained within that figure. MEP's are paid £224 (€306) per day attendance allowance. But yes you just sign in and slurp off, ooops I means slope off.
Oh I finks that manicure was very apt, don't they look cuticle in their ermine robes, although sum mite finks there woz a letter left orf at the front.

OK. Let met throw in a Generally Relativitistitic adjustment :
The 'M' and the other 'R' are in the middle together
I will attempt to put that to use when I get back to my own desk.

Hey, didn't I get any points for my previous attempts?
Of course you do ! Spins Wheel Of Fortune ... spin .... spin .... spin .... I did give it quite a heave ..... spin .... spin .... bear with me ..... spin ... spin ..... slowing down now .... spin ..... clickety clacker .... whack ... spin whack, whack ..... whack. Whack. Ooooops. You win a roast pig. That's because your first name is David. You have nothing to blame but the British electorate.
But I'm not British. My direct male line has not been British since Steven and Ursula left Goudherst* in 1642. Well, okay, I suppose they still regarded themselves as British then, but we certainly haven't been since 1776.

I can offer you one of two alternates though. Either 10 points here ( basically for piping up that you didn't get any points ) OR a night out with none other than David Cameron, the Prime Minister of Great Britain etc, etc for a splendid time reminiscing at a club of his choice. Your call. I may be fair but I will always be cruel. :-) :-)
Cheers, Mike.
Unless the night with the gentleman includes my passage across the pond, a few nights in at least mid-quality accomodations, and other expenses, I think I'll take the 10 points. They're probably worth more to me.

He means they get £300 compensation for having to sleep in a vaguely upright position for a few hours... which gets a lot harder after they've porked lunch and staggered by a coffee machine - or something to that effect.

Apparently we have RM in the middle. Now then *furrows brow* would we have an R at the beginning and an N at the end by any remote chance? Or is that too divergent?
p.s. The saner amongst us campaigned for reform of the House of Lords, which is long overdue, but we got thwarted. Life peerages for political favours have to go and the sooner the better. It's debasing the whole set up.

RE: monorailarsenit;
I did that for two reasons...
Firstly - *raise eyebrows to reveeeal...
...face*
and secondly:
To see if we've had a riot. And we haven't.
Yes. That came as a considerable shock to me too.
So... I will now - wrecktify it
Raenasmriotlion - (pronounced: wry nazzim wry ott lee in ; or rain izzim ree oat lee on) and means that bit what you said it should.
Roastemronilian - coined due to the additional heating up that occurs at the point the orbiting bodies don't but nearly meet.

There is an 'L' and an 'I' in the middle together.
They are not adjacent to the 'M' and 'R' pair previously mentioned, nor do they abut on either the starting 'R' or the ending 'N' .... :-)

So we have a starting R and and ending N, an MR pair in the middle plus an LI pair in there somewhere.
