    Passe' words and phrases

    When people ask me how I am... ...I tell them I'm just Tickety-Boo (they look at me strangely). I use 'in spades', 'no little' and 'more than somewhat' - you can tell a Runyon fan. I don't have a fridge, I have a Coolerator. When I'm riding with friends and we need to accellerate, I...

    For Austrailians ~ Opinion Req'd

    Ditto ^^^^^ Ahh, Melbourne! If you don't like the weather, just wait a few minutes. People joke you can get all four seasons in one day. I haven't been to BC, so I can't compare, but Melbourne is a pretty good place to live. A lot of anywhere you live depends on what you do for a living...

    If Indiana Jones wears a watch.. what would it be?

    Maybe Smiths... Smiths were renowned for thier ruggedness. Rolex made a big deal about Hillary wearing a Rolex up Everest,which they asked him to do. While he carried a rolex, Hillary chose Smiths to wear for himself. Talbot

    Look at my new old watch ...

    If the crown is plated its usually the first to show signs of rub through. Can be changed fairly easily. I have a bag of crowns, and I'd offer to send you one, but they all have different threads. You really need to have a watch guy do it, especially getting the stem out if you have never...

    Accent, you ain't the positive

    I dare you to watch the John Ford/John Wayne film 'Donovans Reef' and not lament at the Aussie accents. Actually, I love this film. The film makers and film going public in the US had no idea what an Aussie accent sounded like back in '63. We were still in the depths of cultural...

    I'm going to have to catch me one of them critters! Ged, get the truck! :eusa_doh: If its available in Australia I have a friend who may have it, although they probably use other material as fillers here to meet local content requirements. I'm sure he would have told me if they...

    Jacques Tati - Vacances De M Hulot - Cut?

    I know there is another thread on this, but my question was a little different and I didn't want it lost. I am a big fan of Tati, and have seen all (I think) his films, Jour De Fete, M Hulots Holidays, Mon Oncle, Playtime, Traffic and Parade. I remember seeing Mr Hulot's Holidays at the...

    This is Cinerama

    TCM? I feel like Jethro in the episode of the Beverly Hillbillies, when he decides to become a playboy... Jethro: And, Uncle Jed, I'm gonna have me a buch of martini's! Jed: Whats a martini boy? Jethro: Dunno, first I gotta figure out how to catch 'em critters! Sooo, whats a...

    Long Way from 1957 Chevy

    I had a 52 styline years back. There is something about sitting behind a split windscreen isn't there?

    Look at my new old watch ...

    Leather would be nice... and sometimes I have fitted Khaki straps to watches like this. Khaki would look good, but it also depends on what you will be wearing it for.

    This is Cinerama

    Can anyone tell me if the 1952 film 'This is Cinerama' has been released on DVD? And if so, where is it available? The film is a showpiece for the cinerama technique and shows everyday life from around the world in 1952. The film includes scenes of the roller coaster from Rockaways'...

    Look at my new old watch ...

    I like it And Rotary is a pretty good brand of manufacture as well. Rotary made a Reverso similar to the LeCoultre. I've never seen a mechanical one, but they have reissued it in Quartz. I have a thing for subdial watches. What kind of strap are you going to use? Talbot

    O/T? Linen shirts

    Well, spring is progressing down under and the time for summer clothing approaches. I have a couple of linen shirts that I can never, ever get soft and wrinkle free. They are rinsed well and free from detergent/powder etc, but they dry stiff and will not iron out properly. I know it...
