Alistair Darling has a reputation with sketch writers for being able to bore people's eyeballs out of their sockets.
I thought it was over-egged until I sat through his statement on the bank bail-out earlier.
His powers to make one drift from his words were almost genius in their subtlety.
Alarm bells first started ringing when I realised it suddenly felt like someone had turned the heaters up a notch.
The chamber had that warm, cosy feel of a room that has been slept in all night - I noticed hacks bending and resting their heads on the counter.
But first to go were weak opposition MPs helpless in the face of such a brutal onslaught of tedium.
Lib Dem shadow leader of the House Simon Hughes led the way, stretching his legs out from the front bench and lowering his chin.
His head began bobbing, mesmerised, as he tried and failed to wake from the Chancellor's spell.
Tory Peter Lilley was the next to succumb some moments later.
Unfortunately for him the exact moment he awoke - and clearly had no idea where the hell he was - was actually caught on TV.
I had to leave when Darling stood up for his follow up comments, afraid that I wouldn't be able to hold out.

hello
I've always struggled with managing multiple deadlines, so I eventually turned to Native Assignment Help just to survive the workload. I didn t expect it to make such a huge difference, but it honestly did. They helped me get my workload under control and, for the first time, actually understand what each assignment was asking for. Later, when my coursework started getting tougher, I tried lambe v eames summary, especially understanding how this case illustrates the three certainties in trust law intention, subject matter, and objects and how courts interpret informal trust language, and it honestly became a complete lifesaver. Instead of feeling overwhelmed by criteria, units, and endless task requirements, I finally had someone guiding me through everything in a way that actually made sense.
