Shotgunnova 05/27/20 3:17:08 PM #280:	Hacker: Darling, being an MP is a vast, subsidized ego trip. It's a job for which you need no qualifications, there are no compulsory hours of work, no performance standards. You get a warm room and subsidized meals for a bunch of self-opinionated windbags and busybodies, and suddenly you find people taking them seriously because they've got the letters 'MP' after their name. How can they be underpaid when there are about 200 applicants for every vacancy? You could fill every seat twenty times over, even if they had to pay to do the job. Annie: But you were a back-bench MP only five years ago. Hacker: I was the exception. Humphrey: You're speaking in riddles, Bernard. Bernard: Oh, thank you. Humphrey: THAT WAS NOT A COMPLIMENT, BERNARD! I also like how they keep alluding to Humphrey's stall tactics speech from the first season ("In the fullness of time...") even now. Humpy's strategies are already known by now. --- Take me down from the ridge where the summer ends And watch the city spread out just like a jet's flame <cite>Shotgunnova posted [p:939789574] in ITT: I wat...
