If this were the House of Commons, the backbenchers would be yelling, "Reading! Reading!" That's my dream job - Tory back-bencher in the House of Commons.

About 20 years ago I saw the House of Commons and House of Lords in action in a tour. Not sure if this is still possible without a security colonoscopy.
Anyway the difference was amazing. the Commons was a madhouse and the Lords were asleep (literally, half were - it looked like they were sleeping off a 5 beer lunch).
