I feel compelled to recommend a post by Hamer Shawcross, which asks the question What kind of bag carrier are you?
For example, your correspondent is closest to this description (though would like to think of himself as slightly better presented):
The Bar Fly
Uniform: A slightly dishevilled suit, a tie with soup stains on it, a packet of Marlboro Lights and the slightly blood-shot eyes of one suffering from a steaming hangover.
Outlook: Relatively hard working, often with an easy commitment to the Labour Party, you will prefer to spend your spare time in either the Sports and Social or the Lords rather than forming secret societies of the faithful, unlike your Portcullis Aspirant conterpart. You will have been here years but are unable to see what the future holds for you beyond the Estate and are unwilling to embrace the inevitable career in political consultancy. Nope, whilst the beer is cheap, you’re quite happy where you are thank you very much. You will irritate your more ambitious significant other by your approach to art of bag-carrying.
Fantasy boss: Steve Pound MP
Preferred Deputy Leader: Hilary Benn MP
Most likely to say: “Your round, mate.”
Least likely to say: “More casework, Boss? Crack it this way, I love drafting letters on contentious issues.”
Celebrity alter ego: Homer Simpson
Classy!
