    The Antipodean thread

    At least they see the merit in running the old W class wooden trams. I ride them whenever I can. Likewise I try to take a ferry ride when I'm up your way. We have just changed operators for the tram network and I hope the old trams stay.

    The Antipodean thread

    Benny, you are so right. I know some people with very very deep pockets, and they have very little sense for anything that doesn't make them a profit, or make them comfortable. They bulldozed a heritage listed home in a fashionable leafy inner melbourne suburb to build a pair of tilt slab...

    Hot Rods, Rat Rods, and Classics

    I have always been a traditionalist. I try and be a lot more open minded about these things than I was as a teenager going to rod runs some 35 years ago. Its just comes down to labels and definitions. Having said that, in the last few years there are some folks that feel the need to push the...

    The Antipodean thread

    Thanks Godfrey... I have signed as well. I read about the sale of laneways in the newspaper, but it did not burden us with the details of the loss of Lonsdale House.

    French Cuff Puzzle

    The shirts are sized by neck circumference. I take a 43, which is a think about a 17 1/2 in US sizing. I have no problem with 43 shirts with conventional cuff, but somehow my arms need to be longer for french cuffs:rolleyes:

    French Cuff Puzzle

    Not to hijack the thread... but I didn't see the point of starting a new one when this was close to what I was going to ask. I have several shirts with french cuffs as well as conventional cuffs. Sleeve length for the french cuff shirts I have is always longer than the sleeve length for...

    Golden era door to door solicitors

    I tell them that I'm a Jehova's Bystander. I believe in a supreme entity, but I don't want to get involved. (With thanks to Kinky Friedman) T

    Prince Charles Out and About at Lobbs

    :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap Not to hijack the thread but there used to be a time when if you were wearing a logo you were advertising it. These days the wearer is being validated by it.

    The Art of being happy.

    I used to think it was all my worries and stress that obscured happiness. I thought that if all these things went away, the end result would be I was happy - by default. Not So. I have discovered that for me, happiness takes committment and real mental effort. Its not hard to do, but I have...

    Who Does Without TV?

    Mad Men third series goes to air in the US on Aug 16. Thats about all I'd want TV for, although I do enjoy the aerial scenery on the Tour de France.

    Men/Would you wear these pants?

    At least we can console ourselves with the fact that they will burn well. I have a few go-to-hell shirts, but these trou are in a different universe. I bet even the person making them was saying "What the heck?"

    Zootshooting

    I'm not sure. Knowing him, I think he'll go from scratch. His reasoning? You never know when you migh need to hit something far away:rolleyes: . Probably more to do with anticipated weapons restrictions.

    Zootshooting

    I have a mate in TX who has a licence to manufacture firearms for the Armed Forces. Gatling guns last time I visited. Compulsive collector with more items than he can keep track of. Nice guy though, he gave me a new Ruger 380 when I was there, but I had to decline - couldn't get it home. He's...
