The House of Lords is the upper house of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. Like the House of Commons, it meets in the Palace of Westminster.
Unlike the elected House of Commons, most members of the House of Lords are appointed. The membership of the House of Lords is made up of Lords Spiritual and Lords Temporal. The Lords Spiritual are 26 bishops in the established Church of England. Of the Lords Temporal, the majority are life peers who are appointed by the monarch on the advice of the Prime Minister, or on the advice of the House of Lords Appointments Commission. However, they also include some hereditary peers including four dukes. Membership was once an entitlement of all hereditary peers, other than those in the peerage of Ireland, but under the House of Lords Act 1999, the right to membership was restricted to 92 hereditary peers. Very few of these are female since most hereditary peerages can only be inherited by men.
While the House of Commons has a defined 650-seat membership, the number of members in the House of Lords is not fixed. There are currently 816 sitting Lords. The House of Lords is the only upper house of any bicameral parliament to be larger than its respective lower house.

The Noble Lord, the Chairman of Committees has to give guidance from the Woolsack. This is not normal. The hereditary peers are in their dying days as they discuss Commons' amendments to the bill in 1999

Born to Rule (May 1999): Are the Lords of England quickly becoming irrelevant now that their lineages are being stripped of their right to rule?

But not all the Lords feel so blessed. Lord Bath spends his time painting erotic pictures of his 68 mistresses. This ageing hippie will happily vote away the burden of his ‘right to rule’.

CLICK HERE- http://www.astrologykrs.com Book link- http://www.astrologykrs.com/Shop.html What are lords through houses in astrology, lords through houses simply means when a planet that controls a certain zodiac sign is sitting in a different house and zodiac sign of a horoscope chart. In astrology there are 12 houses and 12 signs, each sing and house is govern by a certain planet, but since planets are always moving in the sky they are never in their own house or house for most of the time, rather, they are sitting in different zodiac sign and house. This means the lord (planet) is away certain houses from the house it rules. This is why for example 3rd lord if in 6th house means if Aries is in the 3rd house and lord of that sign is Mars who is sitting in the 6th house, we say 3rd lord...

House of Lords Debate on the role of religion in an increasingly secular, multi-faith Britain. Recorded from BBC Parliament, 27 November 2014.
I don't know just where I'm going
I don't know its been so long
Inside my room I feel like cryin'
I wish I knew where I belong
I'm talkin' about love
I'm talkin' about love
This world is cold, and I'm so lonely
Inside my heart, I can't go on
Without you love I feel like dyin'
Without your love I turn to stone
I'm talkin' about love
I'm talkin' about love
I'm talkin' about love
I'm talkin' about love
If time is a healer, then tell why do I still bleed for
I still remember and the nights I can't forget
The memories burned inside my heart
And in our hearts we're all just beggars
Lonely players in a play
And in a world that's spinning madly
Every soul must find its way
I'm talkin' about love
I'm talkin' about love
I'm talkin' about love
