You'll never guess

Support independent publishing: buy this book on Lulu.another new cover.

Noticed the two strands? Easy enough to explain. Two people create them. (Three, sort of, as I handle all the text.)

This time it's a particularly abstract and obscure effort from Andrew. "If you like that sort of thing." Dolores said. Indeed.

I'm warming to the idea of a poll of whose covers are best. Divide and rule. I'm British, I should know all about that. It's in the blood.

Yes, an internecine strife-provoker should help continue my dominance. At least for a while. Andrew gave me a very scary bear hug yesterday. I'd best not upset him too much. He may rip my head off. If he's too busy fighting Lexie, he may leave me alone.

A poll on the best new cover. Good as a slap in the face with a duelling glove.

Feel free to rip apart my crummy typography. That orange. I know. And such an unimaginative typeface. The text itself isn't much better. "Pubs in western Germany". What bollocks is that? You should see the grilleaux on the back. Embarrassing.


But to read it you'll need to

Buy "Trips! (West)" now.!


Normal drill, until the end of January this code will knock 25% off the usual price:

Two V's

This ad has been appearing on my blog in Holland:




Because of the election (one of the ones I can't vote in) coming up. Annoying. I try to keep this a politics-free zone. The odd mention of Stalin excepted.

Andrew's advice: "Don't trust a party with two V's."

Lexie's: "Chips for the poor." 

Two V's. Conjours up an image in my mind.

Glasgow here we come

After a bit of fretting and fiddling with flights, we've booked a few days in Glasgow. I'd been wanting to visit the city for a while.

Given Andrew's aversion to heat, Scotland seemed a good choice. It was that or Ireland. Or Iceland. But that was no-no due to Lexie's feelings about volcanoes. Edinburgh or Glasgow - which to choose? Edinburgh has the castle, Holyrood Palace, the Scottish parliament and two crap football teams. Glasgow has Govan. And the Scottish Brewing Archive.

No contest.
