Pushing our luck? We certainly amused the Daily Telegraph...

Love or loathe him (and i'm sure it's the latter) you have to admit that Tony Blair has his media 'handling' down to a fine art. Ok, so with the ever-present cup of tea for that 'common touch' he's probably gone into overkill to be fair (but more on that in a separate blog...), but with expert techniques like that how could we resist offering him a job as a Bluewood Trainer?!

And so, standing by our 'Our delegates want to become experts so we use experts' belief, we thought we'd let a few people know that we're hoping there'll be another expert trainer on the Bluewood block come the end of June.

The result? Well it seems we managed to amuse the Telegraph's Simon Goodley enough to get a piece in his City Diary; Hate the spin but love the spinner? I'm glad to see our efforts haven't gone to waste, even if we still haven't heard anything back from Tonio...

Give Tony time. He’s busy packing his belongings into old cardboard boxes for the big move. He’s labelled them, CD’s, Photo albums, Souvenirs, Cherie’s old shoes, Stuff for the Sally army, Stuff for the Red Cross, Passed editions of FHM’s ‘Best Bar Room jokes’ issues from 1997 to 2006, Beano annuals, Bible stories and a small box which has his DVDs in; including the box set of ‘Darling Buds of May’ and ‘Rumpole of the Old Bailey’.

Oh and a little box marked, ‘Evidence of WMDs’ with a post it note stuck on there with the words ‘Lent to George, yet to get back’, in purple biro.

Once he has stored his packing he’ll give Bluewood a bell.

Blair certainly has plenty of experience with tricky media questions but I think his problem is that all his tactics are a bit too obvious now. It doesn't help that many people think he comes across as dishonest but then again his political competition doesn't do much better!
