I agree, you very rarely see bishops in the House of Lords except for debates on the church. I have never seen a bishop in a televised political debate. I think the last one that I have seen on TV was at the King's opening of Parliament. Unlike politicians, they don't hanker after the limelight.

Strange that you should ask this question, because I started asking it myself a day or two ago. For many years, I have been paying $60 or thereabouts for a complete protection system, which worked fine and certainly protected me from myriad boo-boo's. It was certainly the best system in the sub-hund...

Surely, the comparative silence of EVs is one of their great plus signs, even if the cats may not agree. It would be wonderful if the village youths did not have the means of perforating our eardrums, especially on Friday and Saturday evenings.
