From left of field

On the other hand, not quite sure what does it mean "I've come as it were,...

Thank You :-D:up:

Hi Bush,

Wait for confirmation on this.

The Americanism "to come from left field (or leftfield)" (not «left of field») means to come from somewhere remote or unexpected.

As for "as it were", see: "as it were" definition - Google Search
