    Titanic Centennial

    Why is this still so big in people's imagination, there've been other maritime disasters, was it because all the rich people drowned for a change? That can't be it, there was a wreck off the coast around here in the 1800's where lots of the wealthy went to the bottom dragged down by their...

    Trenchcoat thug

    I did see THE TREATY, thought it an excellent film, and that period has always interested me for some reason, probably because 'The Tans' were a bit of a boogeyman on the irish side of our family...

    Trenchcoat thug

    I was just watching the excellent Ken Loach film about the Irish Civil War, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wind_That_Shakes_the_Barley_(film) and there's a scene where a landowner is made to read out a letter he sent to the British about local IRA men, in which he refers to their leader...

    Break the mold

    Thanks for the replies, but I built it, and trust me, I can't 'seal' my house, it's a classic timber design called a 'Queenslander' and the whole idea is that the wide verandahs and the 7 double door-openings keep it cool through natural air-flow, thus doing away with air-con, and saving on...

    Is 65 too late for this forum?

    Found this good as gold L-2B, dated Sept 1965 yesterday, and it's X-large, the cuffs etc are very nice, Conmar zips etc.I remember skinheads used to wear them in the 80's but they seem to have no worth these days, considering the M-65 came out at the same time, it must have been a landmark year...

    Break the mold

    We've had REALLY wet weather here for weeks, floods and all, and it has become a daily battle against mold in all my gear...hats, leather jackets, boots and shoes, just unreal, I've given boots the vinegar/clove oil treatment all over, and 48hrs later they are again covered in blue fur! It's a...

    Well no actually, this article is total bollocks, and I'm pretty disappointed to read such rubbish on what is usually a worthwhile website...http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/fashion/news/belstaff-the-stars-favourite-returns-to-rugged-british-roots-6296343.html

    Perdition

    I sat down tonight with a bottle of 12 YO Canadian Club, and watched this again for the first time since I saw it on the big screen upon release, which is the best part of 10 that's right 10, years ago. You know, I was a film critic for a few years in a past life, and bugger me, as we say here...

    WWII British submarine wreck discovered off the Malta coast

    I might have told this story before, but I did a film'media course at Uni about 10 years back, and we had to do some 'theatre" so the class was divided into 10 groups who had to devise a short film/drama about each decade of the 20th C...I chose the 40's, and one of the group I was lumped with...

    WWII British submarine wreck discovered off the Malta coast

    I hate to seem insensitive, but 'worst naval disasters'? With all due respect to the men lost, how about the sinking of the Repulse and POW off Malaya, Convoy PQ17, the Gustloff, The Montevideo Maru, The Indianapolis, PEARL HARBOUR!!....etc etc, some young sub-editor got a touch hyperbolic for...

    Why Irish soldiers who fought Hitler hide their medals

    I seem to recall a Robert Mitchum film set in WW2 Ireland where he works against the British in the North? Hazy memory can't remember the name to find it on IMDB.
