The Phantom (1996)
and... Mulholland Falls had the Jennifer Connolly 'thing' happening in a bit more detail, as I recall, took my mind clean off the hats in that section. As for the Phantom, the comic was the best of them all in my childhood world, and I remember being disappointed that the film didn't play it...- dr greg

Goodwill Hunting
and biscuits I think the actual story was that the Salvo's had kitchens set up behind the lines and served tea and biscuits to all troops returning from the frontline, but they weren't actually involved with the wounded as such beyond that or in any medical sense. (as I understand it)...- dr greg

Goodwill Hunting
essay on the issue I reckon the op-shop as we knew it is dead, I don’t know about Sydney, but in Nth NSW and Qld they no longer seem to see themselves as providing cheap clothes and goods for the poor. I should declare an interest here, I am a “market trader’, (in the medieval sense)...- dr greg

Valkyrie
spare me What is it with Tom Cruise and history flix? He was responsible for the ridiculous and disgustingly pathetic Last Samurai, which would be one of the worst films of any genre ever made. Now he tackles this :rage: :o :mad: . he should stick to vapid comedies or better still, make...- dr greg

Smoking in England banned from July 1st...
my view The recent long-awaited ban on indoor smoking in this state is a godsend to people like me who earn our living in clubs and pubs, no longer do I have to get undressed outside when I get home from a gig so that the house doesn't end up stinking like a chimneysweeper's jockstrap. The...- dr greg

Goodwill Hunting
hit and miss Yes but it broke my heart last week, there was a blue pinstriped D/B suit on the rack for $2. looked fine until I went to try it on, and the armpits and crotch were totally eaten out by what had to be rats since I don't think moths could do that amount of damage in a century...- dr greg

The Spanish Civil War
all in the numbers? I recall reading that more people were executed in the SCW than died in combat, and a rough examination of the figures shows that Franco's forces had a workrate roughly 5 times that of their opponents, who were after all the elected government. It seems facile to reduce all... -

the big picture It's more about the family squabbles among the ruling classes that led to the Naval Race than the actual ships themselves, but is fascinating anyway.- dr greg

Hat Head
cut to fit If you go to a BARBER, as opposed to a hairdresser, to get a proper haircut, if he's any good, he will cut the sides to the appropriate hat-line on your scone, and all that appears when the hat is worn is the minimum length, so when you remove your hat....voila! no hat head. -

What Are You Reading
add to your list If that's your bag at the moment I highly recommend Dreadnought by Robert.K.Massie. I've just started Darkness at Noon by Koestler, and just finished Scoop By E.Waugh..playing catch-up I spose.- dr greg

Dog Fighting? Good God Almighty.
Bull and while we're at it, I think bullfighting is pathetic, they damn near kill the thing before the 'matador' goes anywhere near it, mind you I would pay to see it like it was in the old days when it was just one man against one beast, although the Pope banned that practise in the 17th (?)...- dr greg

Score!
for courses I prefer a slightly wider brim for general wear ( like a Sterling or Stylemaster), but this one will go well with a single breasted suit or more casual outfit. I tend to stick with stingy brims on stage as well, an Open Road or the like is just that little bit too imposing for most... -
Score!
turn of phrase Now I always interpreted that to mean that one had GOT lucky, as used here by my fellow lounger; but I find it in common use around these parts to mean the opposite, your luck has run out. I'm glad to see that my understanding of the term still has currency. Etymology anyone?
