    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    local? Never heard of it to be honest, and most likely not available this side of the pond...I did however try the Hendrick's with a slice of cucumber, which is nice at first but somewhat cloying after a couple have gone down.....

    SLOE GIN

    Acquired taste I tried a Plymouth Sloe and tonic recently, it was neither exciting nor repellent, but reasonably refreshing....

    Russian Films

    sci fi It's a long time since I saw it, but the STALKER was pretty impressive, although as far as classic cinema goes Alexander Nevsky still stands tall. Modern ones?...THE RETURN was great...if bleak.

    Pretty Blue made in 42

    Nice The word classic comes to mind, any chance of reversing the ribbon, I've done that a couple of times as the colour is usually still OK on the inside.

    The Great MacArthur Debate/Discussion

    Asia handy I read also that he chose Inchon for the landings because he knew the area intimately, and that means the tides, weather etc for the time of year, because he had sailed all round that area in a yacht as a young man, so the idea that the Phillipines was all he knew about doesn't quite...

    RAF Reenactors

    young gun Can I just comment that you, sir, seem a fairly young chap, and that's great, because as a casual observer I note that most pics of re-enactors feature fellows of shall we say, more mature years, is this due to economic factors or the fact that it's generally people over 40 at...

    Filson "orginal hunting vest"

    butt of the joke Guys: :eek: nothing worse than misquoted Aussie slang, and none of you can do the accent either, even Meryl Streep...the correct way to say it would be : can I bum a fag OFF you.....? As one might BUM some MONEY....:D Oldskool slang is dying in this country thanks to US...

    30 Ways to Die of Electrocution in 1931

    DIM DARK PAST A local from around here told me they only got electricity to the outlying farms in the early 60's, his place is 200 yds from Highway 1, and 100 miles from a major city, so it's all relative I think.

    UK Law and Replica Guns

    sillier still I might have said this before, but in this country, to get an armourer to provide weapons for a film shoot, it's cheaper to use real guns than replicas due to the fact that more permits and licenses are needed for the fakes.......and if you can figure out the reasoning behind that...

    I say chaps

    Just picked up this HARRODS Italian Silk number, and what I'd like to know is...is it actually a regimental tie, or just a faux old school knockoff for posers like me to wear? Any ex-army chaps of the officer class should be able to assist, what?

    Hitler remains not Hitler.

    Traditional methods Putting Adolf and co aside for the moment, I remember the nuns would flog all and sundry at our school on the principle that: "the innocent MUST suffer with the guilty" so it's obviously an ancient and worthy principle, along with the idea that to not do something is just as...
