    come fly with me

    I just scored an old flying suit, age unknown, for $2. It needs a bit of patching but will be fine for long nights driving the truck in winter, but what are the two belts inside for?

    Ireland during the war

    History repeats Having just finally got to see 'The Wind That Shakes The Barley" a long over due look at the subject, it's not surprising the Irish stayed out of WW2. I grew up on tales of the Black and Tans, so there wasn't much sympathy for England's problems from some of my relatives. How...

    Bomber Jackets???

    bombed I seem to recall that in the 80's, a 'bomber' jacket was any black waistlength jacket with pockets, usually made out of drill, it was de rigeur with the funny haircut set who didn't want to go as far as the Issey Miyake look, which for my money most resembled a bundle of used spudbags.

    Your favorite Scotch? Your Favorite liquor in general?

    The worst :) And without doubt you Kiwi's are responsible for the most brutally foul drink ever made:!! KIROV, which was, as I recall, a mixture of Kiwifruit Liquer and white wine, that came in CASKS, it was much favoured by barmaids of my acquaintance many years ago, and not approved of by the...

    Your favorite Scotch? Your Favorite liquor in general?

    VERY NASTY My mum always told me never mix your drinks, but when I was a young unsophisticated lad we used to drink "gunfighters" which was Jack Daniels, tequila (any old) and Coke, and let me tell you: 4 of those will get you in lots of trouble; as we say here, you go madder than a cut snake...

    The true story of the Bridge over the River Kwai

    When I'm a big fan of Apocalypse Now, and don't recall that scene. It was filmed in the Phillipines, and I'm right on the facts as location scouts came to Brisbane in the 70's to see if it was possible to make the movie in the mangrove swamps of Moreton Bay, so a lot of us local hooligans...

    Trailer Parks?

    ratios In this country the average house price is 7 times average earnings, and in the west where the mining boom is on, prices are ridiculous, there are places where they've risen 1000% in a year.

    The movies are dead - long live the movies

    caged I feel I have to defend Nic Cage, purely because he is a noted collector of vintage hawaiian shirts :) but seriously he wasn't too bad in Lord Of War, and c'mon guys, Wild At Heart was a classic part. I just think he takes too many roles...maybe his agent is greedy. Whether or not he...

    Why Dont People Wear Coats Anymore?

    who to blame What about that bloody Penguin, which raises the issue: Himmler apparently once said that the world is divided between those who tuck their shirts into their pants and those who don't, I think it's between those who wear t-shirts with collars and those who don't.

    Nutty Neighbors

    good fences make good neighbours The degenerate hillbilly on the next hill over from me owns a bull, the nice retired schoolteacher on the other side of me has a few cows. I have only steers on my place. So naturally, when the bull breaks down the fences to get across my place to the cows, and...

    Working with Vintage

    the hard road I sell vintage clothing at markets, and have done for many years, so not having overheads like power and constant rent helps, but the big thing is : sourcing your stock, it gets harder and harder to find the stuff, I often travel hundreds of miles through the backblocks hunting up...
