    Bad Table Manners

    Yes, after posting I wondered about that also. Cody, all is good. These Texans are fine people, and I am fortunate enough to be god parent to one of thier kids, so we get on well. I hosted some of them down under, and after the spiders, snakes, jellyfishes, and wildlife in general they...

    Bad Table Manners

    Lady J, don't worry, you'll do me for a rough old mate! Maybe its a Texas thing, they just buttered their steaks with mustard and had at it. I'm not sure about flossing in public - I'm still struggling with everyone carrying around a water bottle. Unless its Vodka or Gin. That would...

    Bad Table Manners

    I hope I didn't come off in my previous post sounding like you should only hold your knife and fork a certain way. Thats the way I was taught, but different cultures have different manners. Its kind of like hearing English people complain about Americans not speaking the Queens English. Why...

    Bad Table Manners

    Some of that depends on the country you were bought up in. As a child, Australia was very much part of the British Empire. I was taught never to choke the knife or fork, ie fingers never touch the tynes of the fork or the knife blade, and never, ever use the fork upside down, as a scoop...

    Vintage Telephone Ringtones

    Not to mention being ripped off by the ringtone club memberships. A fellow where I work joined one of these clubs for ringtone down load, and a month after he'd joined he checked his mobile account and discovered that they'd charged him for the ringtones he could've downloaded, but didn't...

    Vintage Telephone Ringtones

    I had a WWII submarine model 60 dive claxon for my ringtone. One day the phone went off in the elevator and folks got a bit worried (watching the look on peoples faces when they realised it was a phone was humorous, I'll admit). I toyed with the theme from M. Hulots Holiday, but for now have...

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

    Shangas, if I see anyone around the CBD using a pocket watch I'll know its you! Likewise if you see the blue car about town... Is there anyone you would recommend in the CBD for fountain pen work. I'd like a narrower nib for my Parker 51. The Watch Gallery has a great reputation, and while...

    Is there something you really want to wear but are chicken?

    Skeet, I picked up a recent manufacture surplus servicemens A2 at auction for very little money (change out of $65), and while its not an Eastman (its goatskin), I take comfort in knowing it was worn in the line of duty. As to physique, I'm in great shape. The shape is round. Treat...

    Shoelaces

    That sounds right. The shoelaces I have must be wax permeated. The ones that Florshiem sells as waxed don't even feel waxy, just smooth and shiny. I have never had wax permeated shoelaces before, but I can highly recommend them as superior to the ones sold as waxed today. They are easy to...
