When we have a majority we will do it. I think the days of the Lords are quite genuinely numbered.

As quoted in The Times (13 November 1976)Tony Benn
The days of the 'intuitive' manager are numbered.
Peter F. Drucker
It is quite clear from what has been said and written that, time after time after time, there has been a conspiracy between the Conservative Front Bench in this House and the inbuilt Conservative majority in the House of Lords to defeat legislation that has passed through the House of Commons...I warn the House of Lords of the consequences...it is our strong view that the House of Lords should recall that its role is not that of a wrecking chamber, but of a revising chamber. In recent weeks, it has been wrecking legislation passed by this House.
James Callaghan
The days of the digitals are numbered. The metaphor is built into them like a self-destruct mechanism.
Tom Stoppard
And he that gives us in these days
New Lords may give us new laws.George Wither
Here is a list of fearful things:
The jaws of sharks, a vulture's wings,
The rabid bite of the dog's of war,
The voice of one who went before.
But most of all the mirror's gaze,
which counts us out our numbered days.Clive Barker
