The man who holds the world record for pronouncing the most difficult tongue twisters was arrested this morning. No doubt he’ll be given a tough sentence.
A coolish start to casual Friday, so wearing a vintage work jacket from 1947. I got this off the 'bay 3 or 4 years ago, I was keeping my eye out for one for a while in my size and this one has the action pleat and halfbelt back I was after. Excellent condition. No maker's tag but there is a tag...
The final book in the The Last Kingdom series is out, War Lord. I enjoy the show a lot but the books are brilliant! I've put it on my list for Christmas. If only the clothing in the series was a bit less "Game of Thrones' and a bit more authentic (don't get me started on the sword slung across...
Barbarians, a new Netflix entry from Germany about the lead-up to the ambush of three Roman legions in the Teutoborg Forest in 9AD by a coalition of Germanic tribes. An interesting fictional take on a very interesting part of history that shaped the Europe we have today.
Thanks HD. Now you've put those videos up, it's dawned on me that everyone else has the songs they've mentioned linked in this thread. Wakey wakey Benny Holiday . . .

So true. When I first came across the Lounge 15-16 years ago, there were two big players mentioned: Lost Worlds and Aero, with the odd reference to Eastman Leather and what were then cheaper (= less authentic) military jacket repro companies like US Wings. Now we've got a whole range of...
I was intrigued when I read 'purple' to see just what that would translate to in terms of your jacket. It has a huge amount of depth to it, hints of brown and red, maroon and purple as you said, depending on the light. The fit is spot-on in the body, sleeves only a little long and the more...
Ol' Colonel Sanders knew what to do with 'em . . . I was at the Australian Reptile Park not long ago with my son and we got a good view of the giant crocodile they have there. Seeing the hard scales (scutes I think they're called) on its back and tail made me think it was very dinosaur-like.
"Light reflecting off the crests of waves," "thermal waves", "temperature variations in the lake" . . . And let's not forget the classic, "sometimes waves are just waves. I know people get pictures of them on a calm lake and (think), ‘Oh, there’s something causing it."
I have no idea if there's...
