    hand made Yes I'm impressed with them despite the damage, but at that price, what can I say, as to the tailoring, this bit caught my eye[/URL][/IMG]

    first date

    nope not a thing anywhere, but the town I got it in, and the general style, plus the fact that there's no zip makes me think it's fairly old, I was offered something nearly identical but in worse condition for 250 bucks recently at a retro shop in sydney, so I reckon it's worth spending a bit...

    inside out a lot more moth-holes inside but we can live with that I think, trust me this isn't made in the 80's ;the lining is a thick cotton weave and the fly is buttoned [/URL][/IMG]

    first date

    I found a D/B suit out in the country for 5 bux, one 1/4" moth hole on the front near the lapel, three on rear of sleeve, and two on the back leg of the trousers. worth persevering with I think (if I can find a decent invisible mender within an hour's drive), but can anybody date the outfit, the...

    legends According to all the old testimonials, the Burberry was supposed to keep out the cold and rain in the worst weather, as does my Aquascutum, which is cotton also I believe, albeit treated with whatever their secret formula is.

    I wore my recently aquired Burberry classic trenchcoat in a heavy downpour yesterday, and it didn't take too long for the water to seep through on the sleeves, I was shocked because I've also got an Aquascutum, and that will keep you dry in the heaviest precipitation. Am I expecting too much, or...

    Should the Government Bring You High-Speed Internet?

    TV? It's not about cable TV. it's about a perceived attitude to those older or less fortunate, and it strikes me as having fairly ruthless undertones, which obviously suits some.

    Should the Government Bring You High-Speed Internet?

    google it I'm not surprised that social capital is an unknown concept to you, sir, going by the spiritual bankruptcy of your comments so far, but I have better things to do than connect the dots for you: one thing I have learnt in my long life is that a closed mind can only be opened by itself.

    Free ride The image is from the magazine SIGNAL which was published by the Wehrmacht. I can get a t-shirt done at my local printer's easily, I just think it says a lot more than first appears, Doesn't Hunter S Thompson refuse to take a Merc from the rental guy in F&L in Las Vegas because he's...

    down with the old So let me get this right, people who have fought for their country and/or worked all their lives have no rights at all in the society they built, let alone the chance of maybe getting a little bit back for all the social capital they invested. It's dog eat dog, and the devil...

    true pulp

    Look what I found at a market for 2 bux, this is a 1945 issue Pulp, (and I use the word advisedly, it's all paper) Novel, about a PI, written and printed in Australia, but as was the custom here in those days, set in Chicago. They never set them here, believing apparently that no-one would read...

    Devil In A Blue Dress

    rerun I just took it off the shelf and watched it again, I like it a lot, and Tom Sizemore's wardrobe is great. Easy's 'work' clothes were finely tuned as well.

    Should the Government Bring You High-Speed Internet?

    the pendulum It's going the other way in this country, our government is still enamoured of the Thatcherite model, and is selling off the infrastructure, so I think it's an important difference to make between content and the carrying of. Sure there's more deals, but try and get service calls...
