The sentiment? Admirable.

The execution? Despicable.

I do hope Mr Joyce is ashamed of himself.

Peter,

It threatened to derail proceedings today, so I had to curb the debates. I appear to be labouring under the misapprehension that you are in possession of abilities to stop incidences similar to those last night from occurring. I sincerly hope that if it is proven that you actually do have such powers, you will see fit to use them in future.

Precisely when has that ever stopped you before?

Peter,

The point is he assaulted and intimidated fellow MPs, caused hundred of pounds worth of damage, embarrassed our entire legislature in front of overseas guests and you could have attempted to stop it but instead did nothing.

Has the kettle boiled yet?

*does not glance up from Machine schematics*

No, I would not wish to deprive you of your primary function in life.

[bamfbercow.livejournal.com]

You're too kind...

*Makes tea, avoiding that cupboard, and returns*

...what are you doing, Peter?

[therealpm.livejournal.com]

*accepts a cup of tea and tidies up the desk so that the plans are covered*

Amusing myself in the absence of MPs in need of pacification.

[bamfbercow.livejournal.com]

Hmmm... If you say so.

Nothing terminal, Machine.

HUMANS ARE SURPRISINGLY DELICATE

I SHOULD KNOW

I HAVE BEEN VERY NICE TO SOME IN THE PAST AND THEY HAVE RESPONDED BY BEING VERY FRAGILE IN RESPONSE

Given John's current condition, perhaps this is something that should be discussed at a later date.

JOHN'S HEART RATE IS INCREASING AT A DESIRABLY SATISFACTORY VELOCITY, FATHER

ALTHOUGH I SHALL PROVIDE THOROUGH PROTECTION AROUND YOUR PERSON IF REQUIRED

Sally,

far past this old man's bedtime already, but thank you for the offer. Do gloat at John for me.

*hears text alert*
*lunges for phone*
*gets beaten to it by Sally*

You could text him on your own number if you're that desperate to talk to him, you know.

Text from 078## ######

Peter,

But annoying him is more fun when there's an audience! Promise not to post pics of you in your jammies on Twitter if you turn up 0:-)

There. I do hope that's up to your standard, Peter.

[therealpm.livejournal.com]

Flashy bastard

*looks over top of glasses*

It will do.

[bamfbercow.livejournal.com]

Tea, then? Mugs or a pot thereof?

[therealpm.livejournal.com]

A pot. You will find it drying on the rack by the sink.

*makes a few more annotations to a large and complex diagram*

*Potters about in the kitchen while making tea and humming to himself*
*Finds the biscuits and brings them back from the kitchen on a tray with the tea*
*Tries to peer over Peter's shoulder to see what he's working on*

...Peter, what on earth is that?
