The existing theme wasn’t compatible with WordPress 2.8.   This one is.  It’ll do for now.

Duck’s Folly

by AndyC on May.04, 2009, under Pubs and Beer

It’s not often I find myself wanting to quote the label off a beer bottle – certainly not when it’s the first one of the evening.  But Goddard’s Duck’s Folly describes itself as “Full and round, rather like Anthony Goddard”.  Since he was a Lloyd’s insurance underwriter who was financially “stuffed” in the 1990′s … “it’s an anagram, and we’ll leave it to you to work it out….”

It also describes which food to serve it with (any robust dish goes better with beer than wine), and notes that “a high erlevel of alcohol lends a softer mouth-feel and provides that ‘iron fist in a velvet glove” robustness.

Yes, I’m messing with the theme.  It’s time for a change, but I can’t decide what I like.  Please bear with me.

by AndyC on Mar.28, 2008, under Links

I keep looking at this and trying to figure out if I want to be in that pool or not.  Perhaps I’ll let Yvonne swim whie I take pictures.

Things you don’t want to see …

by AndyC on Mar.03, 2008, under Links

… when you fly as much as I do.

I can never figure out whether I think airliners.net is a source of some great photos, or just a slightly up-market version of trainspotting.
