Dan: You’re a freak! But, I love you for it! Too bad you’re Irish or there might’ve been some hope.
Aroused. Nice. Well, at least you didn’t say turgid.

However, it now comprises mostly appointed members who are life peers, such as Lady Margaret Thatcher, as opposed to hereditary, which include some of the old British Aristocracy names with fancy titles like Viscount. The difference is that a life peer loses their title when they die, and is not inherited by offspring. But the Lords are not completely powerless as they can and do introduce bills, though not as many as the Commons. I guess their primary role is as a debating forum, and checks and balances for legislation.
