Nice one, m'lud

23 July 2008

Top regulator Lord John Mogg has been busy in the Upper Chamber having his half-
penny's worth in a number of recent debates.


When he made his maiden speech last month, he was the first to acknowledge that the date was not necessarily propitious.
Said the newly ennobled
parliamentarian: "The omens for today are not so good, and Friday the thirteenth is not an auspicious day on which to start."
He added: "An earlier request that I made to a cab driver to deliver me from Victoria to the Lords resulted in my belated realisation, halfway up Park Lane, that cricket rather than politics was uppermost in his mind."
He went on to reconfigure a Woody Allenism. "Woody declared himself unafraid to die - in my case to speak - noting that the point was that he just did not want to be there when it happened. But I am here, and I should therefore turn to the Bill under discussion."
Arf, arf.
