For my next trick...

By crikey that Tim's a cunning man. Prior to the election in November a number of the candidates wanted his head on a plate and a number of those got voted in. If the pre-election chatter made him nervous then he must have been crapping himself when the results came in. Or perhaps he just coolly surveyed his opponents with a contemptuous eye in the comfort of knowing his contract of employment would be twice the shield against any puny arrows than might be shot his way.

Whatever the case, it takes a fair bit of skill to turn apparent hostility into a handshake on a two year contract extension. We might have expected him to trot off somewhere else more interesting but perhaps he rather enjoys the challenge of subtle manipulation. Having pulled off a couple of couple of pretty big stunts in the form of this extension and the previous superheads ruse, we wait with bated breath to see what's next. Of course the stunts have to get bigger and better and perhaps to get in on the fun we should set him challenges.
