Can there be a better post-holiday pre-recess treat than Welsh Questions in the House of Commons?
Peter Hain and his deputy Wayne David fielded MPs' questions for the last time today before MPs disappear for their long summer recess.
Today was John Bercow's first Welsh Questions in the chair and the new Speaker wasted little time before making his mark.
He demanded shorter questions and pithy replies of MPs and Ministers.
Shadow Welsh Secretary Cheryl Gillan was a prime target, finding herself accused of "wittering".
Mr Bercow told MPs: "There is a practice growing up of the opposition front bench asking a question and then wittering away from a sedentary position - it's not acceptable and I don't want it to happen again."
It didn't, although the Speaker did have to tell MPs to tone down the noise at one point, something due rather more to anticipation of Prime Minister's Question Time than excitement at Welsh Questions.
And there was still time for Peter Hain to quip of Cheryl Gillan: "At least she wasn't twittering in the House." These silver surfers yield to no-one in their ability to get down with da kidz online.
