I see that Iain Dale is mischievously touting me as a contender for the job of Press Secretary to Sir Menzies Campbell as advertised in this week's Press Gazette.
I'm sorry to have disappoint him. Even if I had the slightest inclination to return to London from glorious Derbyshire, going back to the Parliamentary Press Gallery as a spin doctor would be a bit poacher-turned-gamekeeperish for my liking.
But even if I was interested, I think this column published a week or so ago would probably rule me out!
I will however be sure to recommend Iain Dale for the post of Number 10 Press Secretary if and when David Cameron becomes Prime Minister.
March 20 update: Forget No 10 Press Sec - I hereby nominate Iain for the forthcoming vacancy at Folkestone which was announced on Friday night. And unlike me becoming Ming's press spokesman, I reckon he'd be in with a serious chance!

Press Secretary?
I think you can put him down as food taster.
charming!
But weren't you cheerleading one of his opponents Paul?
Very naughty of Iain - but I would suggest the job could probably be done on a Monday morning before breakfast, and from Derbyshire.
Well, I reckon you should apply for it.
Tailor your CV to the purpose, write a blinding covering letter, and then sit back and see whether you get an interview.
Then we can read all about it here.
Gran, Dave - the answer is no. And that's a final answer.
Skip - yes, I supported Huhne in the leadership contest, which is one more reason why me and Ming would not exactly be a match made in heaven.
That's a shame. Your presumably doomed application would have been a right caper, and I was already looking forward to a blow-by-blow account.
Any other interesting jobs in the Press Gazette?
Folkestone to go Lib Dem next election I think.
Especially if Iain Dale stands (if North Norfolk is anything to go by....)
