    Do you have a nickname?

    I have had several good ones. The first one is 'spud' as my surname is Murphy, this is a name given to all Murphys rather than anything to do with me, but I do like it. I have also gotten nicknames from my first name and referances to Darren in Bewitched i.e. dagwood, derwood and others. The...

    Akubra Pronunciation

    Not to be pickie or anything but if you are going to say Akubra, then you need to almost drop the 'a' and have the 'koo' sound more through the nose and the 'bra' is rather short, almost like a little breath. Its our English so we need to preserve it.....;) :)

    What's Your Favorite Joke?

    a bit left of centre but still a good one.... 2 men are drinking in a bar, after several hours they start talking to each other, after a few more they get on to more personal details. The first man says “you know, I‘m a Sadist, I get pleasure out of inflicting pain on other people”...

    The Fedora style

    I think its wonderful the devotion we all have to our hats, the inpression from all of the feedback is that we love owning and wearing our hats and sometimes as a result of this, some people may look into a more 'vintage' look than others. I tend to wear my hat when dressed in my work suit and...

    The Fedora style

    Do we think that the wearing of hats in this day and age is a little ‘vintage’ and this is why the association with this style comes from. I agree that hats tend to suit most types of clothing, yet I can’t help but feel that we who wear hats are destined to be pigeon holed into a vintage...

    The Fedora style

    Because I generally do not….. I just love these styles of hats and enjoy wearing them. I see a lot on this web site references to ‘Vintage’ and I am wondering if these things go hand in hand.

    How popular was/is your name?

    My name appears to have had a short burst of fame in the 50's and 60's and now looks like returning back to obscurity. Its a name I have never felt comfortable with and really think that it was one of those name that was groovy for a flash in the pan and now is still stuck in that time period...

    Cricket World Cup!

    They are always good ones. It seems we have a rivalry like the one we have with NZ, although I think the lever leans more towards the 'hate' in the love hate relationship with SA. The world cup and SA hold one of my fav sledges in cricket. I think it was Herschelle Gibbs who dropped a catch...
