A late breaking *pearl* from Hansard
The Lords, naturally:
Lord Mackenzie of Framwellgate: My Lords, is my noble friend aware that, as a person over 60, I am continually bombarded with spam emails? They are always the same and are usually about penile extensions, Viagra or inkjet cartridges. Do I look like a man who requires inkjet cartridges?
This exchange came as part of a debate on internet access for the over 60s etc, sparked by Baroness Rendell of Inspector Wexford, and is worth a skim.

This is why I love the House of Lords!
Thanks for posting this.
They are a splendid bunch, by and large.
My pleasure, it would have been selfish to have kept it to myself.
Another good reason to keep the Labour hands off the HoL!
Julia - Yup, even half-way messed up by that lot it still does a sterling job, although - full disclosure time - Mackenzie is a recent life peer
David - Cheers. If they keep coming up with good 'uns, I'll be on the look out.
