“Having a ‘mental brain fade’ is fine if you are a character in an 80s stoner comedy but less so if your job involves remembering quite a lot of facts.

“Also I don’t like those balding naturist-looking ones. They seem sexually frustrated and I expect they write dreadful poetry.”

House of Lords to trial red light chamber

THE House of Lords is to introduce a decriminalised zone where peers can prostitute themselves without fear of arrest.

An anonymous hereditary peer said: “The Chinese, the arms lobby, it’s all just a whirl of faces to me. I make all the right noises but the truth is I haven’t added a clause to a bill in years.

“Most of the money goes on necessities like Louis Latour Chassagne-Montrachet champagne so I can drown my self-loathing.”
