Welcome @DevilDamo. We like voluble people and photographs.

 

I note that you are an anagram of Model Diva ???.

 

I like your avatar - well designed to draw attention on the page.

On anagrams, I just discovered the Goddard's Brewery story about their Duck's Folly beer, and Lloyds of London.

Quote

The name was originally used by an Australian who had suffered financially in a similar fashion to Anthony Goddard at the hands of Lloyd’s, and used it to name his new (much downsized) bungalow. Anthony spotted this amusing story in the press and thought it would make a cracking name for a beer. Duck’s Folly was born and has remained a favourite in our Classic Beer line-up.

On my to try list next time I'm on the IoW. 

 

(It's not the same trying it on the mainland).

 

That is an echo  of burnt toast being acceptable on a small boat.

Reminds me of a pub down south.  Sally Pussey Inn.   I think there were a few alternative names for it.

Sure I’ve had a pint in there

You've lost me. Far too a highbrow analogy.
