Open to offers.

Carnegie sees that there is speculation that following his departure as Leader of the Liberal Democrats, Fife MP Sir Menzies Campbell, may be open to serving in a Ministerial position, probably in Foreign Affairs, in PM Gordon Brown's Government of "all the talents."

It looks as though all of those shared shuttle trips on BA flights to London with "old friend" GB could pay off for another of Fife's finest. However, Carnegie suspects the idea may not go down too well with any Liberal Democrats, especially those in Ming's Fife patch.

Tele-marketing agents wanted.

Carnegie has noted the speculation in recent days about whether there will be a UK General Election in the next few weeks. But he noticed an advert last week in the Dunfermline Press seeking "Tele-marketing agents ... Dunfermline based ... no experience necessary" ... for the Scottish Liberal Democrats.

They obviously know something that everybody else may find out next week.
