Former MHK appointed commissioners' clerk
It's often said that as one door shuts, another one opens.
At last September's general election, the door to Tynwald, and his ministerial office at the Department of Infrastructure, shut firmly on Phil Gawne.
The former MHK for Rushen saw his 13 year career as a member of the House of Keys come to an end, when he stood in the neighbouring constituency of Arbory, Castletown and Malew - and lost.
It was a bitterly disappointing - and painful - blow.
But now, another opening - at Rushen Parish Commissioners, where he's been appointed part-time clerk.
Down, but not out, Mr Gawne is preparing to make a contribution to public life from the other side of the fence.
And he reckons his experience will stand him in good stead:
