Flippin' heck, how did that happen?

I've just been offered, and accepted, the post of vice-captain of Harptree Villages CC 1st XI. I wasn't angling for the job but events have moved pretty quickly in the last week and now I can't wait to get on with doing my bit to try to improve the fortunes of the club.

I was never going to turn it down - as befits a political animal, once we get our fingers anywhere near the levers of power, it's the devil's own job to prise them away!

Better get in touch with my personal trainer now though - whoever heard of a vice-captain with love handles??!
