May 17, 201015 yr I have it on good authority that the first ten people nominated by ThaiVisa members will be appointed to the peerage by the new British government's "Nose in the Trough" policy. Nominate away people, who would you like to see? (Self nominees will be publicly flagellated). David Cameron and Nick Clegg to makes 100 peers in Lords deal BRITISH Prime Minister David Cameron and his deputy Nick Clegg will create more than 100 peers to ensure controversial legislation gets through Parliament, The Times reported today. The coalition government has agreed to reshape the House of Lords, which is currently dominated by Labour, to be “reflective of the vote” at the general election.
May 17, 201015 yr After last nights World Cup 20/20 there's a couple of South African cricketers who'll probably be nominated.
May 17, 201015 yr Author Is the qualification period for being a lord any longer than the one required to play for England? I was there for 5 weeks in 1989, would that count?
May 17, 201015 yr I thought that technically, the Queen has the last say or at least the power of veto when it comes to peerages. But if not, I nominate the Head of the Muslim Council of Britain, for services towards peace and understanding within Britain. I also nominate Cat Stevens, for his service to the nation in his influence towards peace and understanding domestically and globally.

I also nominate Cat Stevens, for his service to the nation in his influence towards peace and understanding domestically and globally. Knew Steve in the early Sixties, when he was just starting. His first earnings were spent on buying his (Greek) parents a restaurant in Holborn (London). (Parents may have been Cypriot, not sure) But he pissed everyone off when he started washing his bum instead of using toilet paper.
May 17, 201015 yr Can they also 'defrock' peers? I'm thinking of that pillock-by-Kinnock Lord Thiesman, who has probably lost England any chance of hosting the Soccer World Cup this century. (Or even participating, if certain countries get power in FIFA)
May 17, 201015 yr His Lordsheet Humph Bear 1 vote. Wunda if ya don't wear a frock, can you be defrocked?
May 17, 201015 yr His Lordsheet Humph Bear1 vote Naaaah, that'd make my wife a Lady. And that is not believable by anyone
May 18, 201015 yr His Lordsheet Humph Bear1 vote. Wunda if ya don't wear a frock, can you be defrocked? Do Klingons wear cloaks? Frank Field for the Lords. I'd also like to nominate Mandelson for the position of wool-sack. A Peers' arse on his face is a position he knows well. Regards.

Your mum must have got tired of your dad's repetition by the end of the news at six. I think Ozzy Osbourne would make a good lord and would keep the bats out of the palace of Westminster.
