My wife often listens to an oldie radio station and whenever I hear the Bee Gees come on singing, "More Than a Woman," I can't help but laugh at the modern connotations you can embellish that title with. The Mrs, of course, thinks I'm childish but at least fun.

Aussies have been there for some time. With the AUD at 63 US cents, plus 10% Goods and Services Tax (like VAT in the UK), to buy a stock Aero or Thedi (or anything from overseas, of course) already costs us nearly 50% more. They're simply out of my reach now. An Aero Dustbowl, for instance, at...

I guess it must be 3 years ago I purchased a pair of their 1966 low quarters boots. I'm very pleased with them, they're sturdy and comfortable and are worn weekly.

Apparently Master Supply Co are doing a collaboration with Bates especially aimed at the market of people who like to go to established clothing forums and behave like complete wankers. It's called the MasterBates model.

Good to see you back Frank. I miss the days of Baron Kurtz, Forgotten Man, Resortes805 and Marc Chevalier and their exceptional contributions, but there are still a few of us long-standing members still about.

A while back Ali Express had some two-tone brown and black aviator jackets (I think they were Tailor Brando) that I wished I'd jumped on at the time. I haven't seen them for ages. I hope they put those out again.

He's not the first, sadly won't be the last. A modicum of respect wouldn't have hurt him. I've been here since 2004 and been a member since 2006, and I still learn something every time I check out this forum, which is sadly not as often as I used to have time to. Bottom line, some people are...

What is the general cost of his suits?

Back in May 2004, in New Scientist Edition 182, science writer and plasma researcher Eric Lerner wrote an article about 33 leading scientists who had written what they termed an 'open letter to the scientific community.' The letter included the following statements from those scientists: "The...

No you look like the actual real deal to me. No rhinestones on you El Marro!

Nah Aussies can beat you guys with hot cross buns out for Easter December 27. I'll see your Valentine's Day and raise you an Easter! Crazy, just crazy.

Lots to remember. Gowings menswear in the city, sadly missed. Knock and Kirby's hardware are long gone. Waltons department stores, Keith Lord furniture and also Joyce Mayne furniture. There were grocery stores like Safeway (Red S) that might still be around in other states but gone from NSW. And...
