On occasion, Andy likes to use the Whynatte preparation time to give a short speech. His speeches sometimes take the form of a firm lecture, while at others they are more like a free flowing poem. Andy’s speeches span a diverse range of disciplines, from the shortcomings of postcolonial politics, to more lighthearted subjects such as top quiche recipes, or men’s fashion.

Here is a photo of Andy in mid speech, surrounded by a captivated audience, doing what he does best. If I recall correctly, Andy titled this speech, “Best Mural Techniques”

Andy once confided to me that, “If the latte was a church, the espresso machine would be my pulpit”.
