I am not certain that Adonis is entirely right in the head. Moving an elected House of Lords away from Britain's legal, financial and cultural capital will simply serve to nullify any influence it may gain by being democratically elected and will only serve to contribute to the elected dictatorship of the commons.

If you continue to be that smug I will have to drink your glass of port for you.

You have already lost your bottle, I would hate to see you lose your glass as well.

That I would very much doubt.

*raises eyebrow*

Should I reopen the bottle, or is that a signal you intend to head off?

If you will drink so slowly then I shall have to have another glass - to keep you company, you understand. Drinking alone is a terrible habit.

*reaches around the side of the sofa*

You really are terribly unobservant, you know.

*shuffles over a bit to get John's glass, pours the port, then calls up a function from The Machine to translocate the bottle out of John's ken.*

I have been told so, yes.

*Sips drink*

You know, this stuff really is rather good...

*slouches down into the sofa cushions and takes another sip*

Yes, it is rather.

*appears mildly bemused as phone buzzes*

It's... a text.

From Sally.

She says not to let you get up to anything she wouldn't do.

*sips drink*

I leave it entirely up to you to determine the extent of behaviour covered by that description.

No worries... I have no intentions of creating an exercise DVD for couples in the near future.

Peter? Are you ok?

*Pats Peter on the back in a tipsy attempt to be helpful*

See? It's a very good thing I stuck around.

*coughs a few more times*

Fine

*ahem*

*takes another sip of port to sooth throat*

John, as you may be aware, there have been some rather tense negotiations over Britain's loan to the IMF recently, and as such I am afraid I may have taken my eye off the tabloid ball. Sally's doing what?

*pinches bridge of nose*

Sally and her friend... her friend... Paddy? Not Ashdown - her Paddy. Well, they shoot the second series of their TV show next month and are possibly doing a sort of spin-off work-out DVD thing. Apparently they make a good couple on television and no one's done a couple's exercise DVD so it makes sense... or so she tells me. I think.

*sinks back into sofa*

...Paddy Ashdown might be quite a good choice for an exercise video, come to think of it.

*blinks and mentally replays that last sentence*

*sips port*

I suspect he and Sally would not get on well.

No, I don't think so either. Best that my wife and Paddy Ashdown don't do an exercise DVD together then.

*stifles another yawn and slumps further down into the sofa*

Best that she not... *yawns* terribly sorry ...not do one at all.. It's exactly the sort of thing that will get shown by HIGNFY or This Week every... *yawns again* sorry ...every time she's mentioned in... the... news.

*Sees Peter slowly falling asleep*
*Drains own drink*
*Reaches across and takes Peter's glass out of his hand so he doesn't drop it*

*Gingerly gets up from the sofa*
*Tip-toes over the cabinets*
*Opens the door as quietly as possible and reaches inside for blankets*
*Tip-toes back to Peter with blankets*
*John covers Peter with the blankets*
*Peter curls up so he is more comfy under the blankets. His movements startle John who backs away quickly, causing him to knock over an empty glass.*
*John promptly tells it to "shhh!"*
*John catches himself telling an inanimate object to be quiet and realises he's probably not in a fit state to apparate home. Instead, he reaches out to try and get one of the blankets from Peter so he can sleep in the chair*
*Peter grumbles in his sleep and holds on tightly to all the blankets*
*John thinks for a moment then sneaks back onto the sofa by Peter's feet and gets under the covers too. He falls asleep*
