    When I was a kid, there used to be a TV show called Roller Game, and teams of skaters would beat eachother up on a banked track..it proved very popular over here: I went and saw The LA T-Birds with Ralphie Valladares and Shirley Hardman et al, at our local indoor stadium kinda thing when they...

    Revealed: Himmler's secret quest to locate the 'Aryan Holy Grail'

    faction There was also the story that the bodies of twelve tibetan monks were found in the ruins of the bunker, or somewhere close by. It's the sort of story that ought to be true even if it isn't.

    Flyboys

    in-laws It was basically a family squabble between the incestuously intermingled royal houses of Europe, and a lot of it was down to the personality of Wilhelm11 of Germany who had deep inferiority issues about his arm, and had been snubbed by his auntie Queen Victoria as a teenager...it took...

    Winning Ugly! Go Colts!

    somebody did it Maybe it was the Steelers then, I just remember, and this was in the early 70's, that there was a full scale riot after someone won an early superbowl. It stuck in my memory at the time because it seemed so unusual due to the fact that US football fans seem very well-behaved by...

    calling all coats

    I haven't seen this as it's not out here yet, but I think we can assume some serious leather coatage will be on display http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0454824/

    Winning Ugly! Go Colts!

    coltish behaviour If my memory serves me correctly, wasn't there a full-scale riot as well as fornication in the streets the last time the Colts won? I've googled it but can't find references...saw it on the news tho even over here.

    Newbie from OZ

    R&R I remember my mother found a couple of US sailors sitting disconsolately at the back of church one Sunday morning in about 67, and brought them home for a decent home-cooked meal, they ended up sleeping in hammocks under the house for about a week, because they didnn't want to go out...

    Newbie from OZ

    the old divide I was born in Sydney, and lived there for over 20 years mostly as an adult. it's a great place to live if you are young and callow, and not shall we say concerned with anything other than the physical. I went to Melbourne recently, and was really surprised at the vibrance of the...

    out of the past

    Further to my annual viewing of this Mitchum classic, it appeared to me that all the good guys wore thin-banded hats in the Open Road style while the baddies had much thicker hatbands. Is this a signifier in the semiotic sense....observations please!

    Enough with the logos

    it's all about class I wouldn't wear ANYTHING with a logo on it, unless it was some obscure band's interesting artwork, displaying the maker's mark on the outside of a garment is the definition of crass. Surf labels are the worst, you pay them to advertise themselves, what a joke. Seriously...

    dukes

    I was watching the annual screening of 'out of the past' last night, one of the best, Jane Greer is a stunner, and the way Mitchum wears that tcoat outshines even Bogie for my money, but it got me thinkin..did John Wayne ever do a trenchcoat movie?

    The School Bully

    same old story Being redheaded, small in stature, top of the class, and regularly professionally employed in musical theatre and as a model, do I need to say how much I was bullied and called a fag at high school? I carried a knife at all times, and could usually handle one ruffian at a time...

    Was there a 1920's Revival In the 1970s?

    Man barred for showing belly

    short shrift I notice he is wearing Stubbies, the legendary australian workshorts http://www.stubbies.com.au/About-Us/default.asp and if that is the outfit he wore to the club, then it tells you all you need to know about the dress standards of the local population. I'm surprised that...

    Man barred for showing belly

    late show Just caught up with this. I know the town, if not the club, and quite frankly, any attempt to lift sartorial standards should be applauded,there's a difference between being 'relaxed' in one's attire, and being a slob. Anyone who can't make an effort to dress for dinner should stay at...

    Childhood Memories?

    recall I can vividly and accurately describe the house we lived in when I was 18mths old, never having seen it again, but couldn't tell you what I was doing on a particular day last month without a reference point.

    Cattlemans crease

    context I have a Cattleman which I wear when dropping into the rural supply store for bales of hay etc, or attending the cattle sales, or just out and about in my truck. I would never own or wear anything in the style of the Pastoralist though, that is worn by greedy stock agents, weekend...
