    Wax Seals

    Unfortunately this is because of modern automatic sortation. Seals look good, but they may not survive the rigours of being sorted and stacked against other envelopes at 30,000+ items per hour. Its impressive to watch, but I would never put a letter with a wax seal in the post due to the...

    Bolo Ties-- Acceptable Alternative or Novelty Oddity?

    When I travel to TX, I see them often amongst older folks. I like them, but they are definately a regional thing. Talbot

    Horizontal buttonholes on mens shirts

    All, Probably a whimsical question, but here goes. I was at my tailor the other day having some vintage casual shirts copied. The buttonholes on these shirts are all in the horizontal. All the modern shirts I see have vertical buttonholes (with the exception of the bottom buttonhole on...

    Passe' words and phrases

    ^^^^^ Hmmm, if you read Runyon (always recomended), he writes about 'certain individuals being a drug on the community'. Talbot

    What is the story on the shirt? It takes a toe hold and cuts from the heel. Two thumbs up!

    So through with COOL!

    Now that my daughter is in college... I'm getting a lot of 'epic' Did you enjoy the meal? 'It was epic'. How's things? 'epic' They are deliberately playing with the language. Maybe that's not a bad thing... Talbot

    So through with COOL!

    This is probably an Aussie thing.... When I was a lot younger, before cool we had 'grouse'. 'Those shoes look grouse!' 'We're having a grouse time!' I have no idea where it came from. Its probably a pretty bogan thing to say these days, but its ok if you are drinking woodstock bourbon...

    Lizzie, mine don't fit me either. I don't mean to be fresh, but going by your avatar, you still scrub up a treat for my sore eyes!

    Why do I hate the 1970s so much?

    Don't even get me started on the stuff at the army disposal - incredible. The days you could walk into a store and there would be no blister packs... You could still find a good 1940's style cafe... You could still see Comando Cody, Hop Harrigan and Sky King on TV. Working black...

    Why do I hate the 1970s so much?

    ^^^^^ absolutely.:eusa_clap Looking back, one of the bad things about the 70's for me was all the regrets I have about the stuff I didn't pick up that is now rare and completely astronomical, sigh....

    Why do I hate the 1970s so much?

    What do I hate about the 70's? A lot of material stuff I like was being discarded by folks as being out of style and passe'. Things I really like were affordable and could be appreciated by those that loved them. You could buy a running registered 49 Ford for $500 You could score great...

    Car Buff/Look What I Found.

    Good idea - that's a book I'd buy and enjoy. Perhaps you should get a trailer to match and relive 'The Long Long Trailer'. Talbot

    Blundstone Boots

    I'm pretty sure they are manufactured in Tasmania, but it wouldn't surprise if if they outsourced to Asia.
