    What are some of your favorite "electronics" of the golden era?

    I always wanted the radio set used by the Crimson Ghost to take control of the hero's car. I would however, settle for Commando Cody's rocket pack with the cool dials on the front.

    You Had It, But Sold It (and now You're Sorry)

    I'm faced with a dilemna at present. I have had a room flooded recently and the clean up has triggered a clean out. I collected a lot of mid century American magazines during the 80's (Sat Evening Post, Colliers, Esquire, Seventeen, Life, Nat Geo. etc) and herself is pushing me to sell them...

    Bad Table Manners

    Uh Oh... We're for it now Shangas;) While not advocating mustard with steak, if you want to try something spicy, a Sri Lankan mate put me on to a mustard called Daffy's. I think he imported it himself, but if you see it, get it. Waaaaay hotter than anything I had experienced before...

    Driving golden era cars in the modern era

    Hang with the 70's wagons Tom. Your A would have been the equivalent of the Caprice once - just an old car that only people with vision could see the beauty within. Talbot

    Chaplis (or chapplies: Indian sandal thingies)

    Cookie, they are still available and worn by school kids as we speak. My daughter had a pair. I don't usually get caught up in those things, but I can find details if you like. I love the scene where Larry sings 'Greensleaves' - family favourite.

    Goodwill buys

    I was recently holidaying in TX and passed a goodwill in Houston. I hadn't planned to stop, but sometimes these things just seem to beckon. Waiting for me inside were two charcoal grey Jos A Bank suits, one single breasted and one double. Also found a light grey single breasted Ralph Lauren...

    USPS Rates Go Up in January

    One of the problems facing the postal services is that bulk mail volumes are not expected to recover when the financial crisis is over. Tough times are forcing many mail generators to email. They are not all expected to return to paper. Expect further price rises...

    USPS Rates Go Up in January

    While oil prices are a significant cost driver, postal services around the world are trying to respond (in various ways) to significant declines in volume bought about through a poor economic climate. While politicians 'talk up' the economy, low shipping volumes continue to be a usefull...

    Joan Collins says British women have given up trying to look good.

    Never ceases to amaze me... A minor celebrity says something controversial and everyone gets all het up. Works every time, sigh. Foofoogal, can you post a pic of your bowl?
