    what CD do you have in the car?

    'Gus Viseur et Son Orchestra' - is like French western swing to me. Listening to them as I type.

    History of early MI6 published

    Cookie, Thanks for the tip. Just finished 'Most Secret War - British Scientific Intelligence 1939-1945' Not bad, but a tad dry. T

    Golden Era songs with off-color subjects.

    Leaves nothing to the imagination does it? Here's me thinking the flip side of 'Dont mess around with love' by The Blenders was risque. Same song, the mess word was replaced with the F word. T

    30's Gentlemen's Etiquette

    Shaking their hand when they haven't offered it doesn't really work. Believe me, I tried. Come to think of it, it didn't work for Larry Fine either...

    Kooper is Outraged...Journalist attacks Tiki and the Tonga Room

    I lament when I see this garbage. Is he being deliberately provocative, or just plain stupid? The 'Get F#%*ed' school of writing seems like the easy alternative to journalism these days. Put on some Frank Hunter and pass me a Mai Tai! T

    Vintage advertisements?

    Hah! I hadn't even scrolled down to your comments and was asking myself "What about the iced Vo-Vo's?" Interesting that you can still get nearly all of these today.

    Air racing in the golden era

    The Schneider entries were some of the most beautiful aircraft ever made. I have a soft spot for the privateering spirit of the US races though. I often wonder what would happen today if a private company developed an aircraft that outperformed the best the military had to offer. I think...

    Can someone please school me on the various models of Blundstone boots?

    RM's are great, wore em pretty much exclusively in my late teens. Not sure I'd wear them under my car though. What are they retailing for these days? T

    Air racing in the golden era

    Air racing was pivotal to the development of aeronautical technology in the years between the wars. I have always seen this as the pinnacle of know how and daring. Some of these people designed and built thier own planes and then had to scrounge gas money to race. After WWII it was never the...

    What is your favorite aircraft of all time?

    I like some of the early blowtorch jobs. The P80 Shooting Star would have to be my favourite. There's always the Ryan Fireball if you can't make up your mind between props and blowtorches. That is, if you're tired of looking at the B36. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryan_FR_Fireball Not...
