After meeting the Chamber of Commerce at the offices of All State in central Belfast, the Business Secretary Lord Mandelson emerged to chat to the press. Recognising Downtown Radio's Eamonn Mallie from his time as Northern Ireland Secretary, Lord Mandelson quipped "Eamonn, have you never thought about retiring, not that I am wanting to lead you in that direction".

No, responded the veteran hack, "I have an unblemished record, and I'm still here."

And on that note, I'm bringing my blogging to an end for a few days. I'm off next week but my colleague Martina Purdy has kindly agreed to blog-sit in my absence.
