Welcome to the applecrumble.net<\/a><\/del>\u00a0andrewdoran.uk<\/a> blog! At the time of writing, this site is only accessible at its IP address as its name hasn’t found its way around the internet DNS servers; if you’re reading this today then welcome – but how did you find it?!<\/p>\n

I’m starting this blog as I feel that I need somewhere to speak my mind, somewhere to comment constructively on things that are going on instead of ranting at people on a television screen, somewhere to post the odd photo or two and somewhere to link to all of the wonderful websites that seem to come my way.<\/p>\n

My friend Mat is also starting a blog<\/a> so it’ll be interesting to hear his take on things, especially after a fun night out with our friends.<\/p>\n

Looking forward to updating the blog!<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
