    A night at the Astor

    Melbourne's Astor theatre is an art deco gem struggling to survive, but so far managing. http://media.theage.com.au/entertainment/inside-entertainment/a-night-at-the-astor-3360005.html Apols if this has been posted before.

    Warner Brothers : "Tales from the Gangster Squad"

    Cartoon? The last few seconds of the trailer seem like a high watermark of cliche' and overkill to me. The Rap music helped me make up my mind...

    Stainless Steel Watches

    Start with a very fiine grade of wet and dry sandpaper, say 1200 and carefully go over the crystal, not pushing in too hard (dont ask!). Work up to finer grades, then cutting compound, then Brasso. Best remove the movement before hand.

    Stainless Steel Watches

    Discussion on the different grades of stainless, 316, 904 being the more common grades, but no comments on metal hardening treatments. I always assumed this was standard practice on higher end watches. Can anyone comment on metal hardening processes used by 'premium' watch companies.

    Variety shows and Britain's Got Talent

    I can't say I'm a fan of these shows, but I have noticed a trend from watching the adverts (when I do watch telly that is). The shows focus (foci?) seem to have moved from humiliation of the wanna be through to a celebration of talent. Possibly the Paul Potts/Susan Boyle effect? It's...

    Pocketwatches

    I can't speak for pocketwatches but have replated a few watch cases. Done properly with multiple platings, chrome holds up very nicely and is durable if cared for. It is an expensive task, the primary cost driver being case stripping and preparation. The material you plate with is not a...

    head-on collision: old car vs new

    In my modern car, I can't feel a thing as I go down the road. There are no squeaks, rattles and gear whine like my old car to let me know how well things are working.

    Let's See Your Watches! The Vintage Watch Thread.

    Very nice unit. Understated quality and precision. Whoever snaps it up should be pleased. I once owned a 1967 Brietling AOPA Navitimer. That was a big watch! I'd like to bid, but as it is, at the end of the money there is still some of the month left.

    What Truck to Buy?

    I'm not sure that's a problem for earlier engines. I have been told not to worry about unleaded gasoline in my '54 chevy stovebolt. I confess to using additive anyway.....

    "Mad Men" on AMC (US) - (Spoilers Within)

    Enjoyed the show immensely. The credits show it as produced by Jon Hamm. I don't follow (or get) the back stories on the show. What was behind the change?

    Serious Dumb Crook News Candidates

    Great outcome. Is it possible to take stupidity into account when sentencing? People that stupid with weapons are disasters waiting to happen. They should get longer....
