So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.
I'm late to the feline discussion but I feel a bit obliged to come to the defence of these furry friends. My son named the cat who currently lives under our roof...an affectionate if somewhat wary beast...but I wanted to name him after the feline hero who served on HMS Amethyst during the 1949...- DNO

Today in History
A little outside the period of interest of most people on this board... Two quite dramatic battles were fought today, both in the Anglo-Zulu war of 1879. The Zulu army defeated a British force at Islandlwana and some of its successful elements contravened orders, crossed the Buffalo River into...- DNO

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Captains of the Clouds on TCM the other day. Always enjoy that one. Great to see the old bush planes...I spotted a Norseman and a Stinton, I believe. Good stuff. Cagney's fun, as always. It was interesting to see Air Marshall Billy Bishop. The man was a serious pilot in WW1: 72 victories...- DNO

good old whatever it is, pouch, bag, what...
The fastener doesn't look military at all. Any sign of a broad arrow stamp? If it was British military, it'd be there somewhere. First thing that occurred to me was that it was a case for one of those time clocks carried by night security guards back in the day.- DNO

What was the last TV show you watched?
I wish I had seen this program! I was recently doing research on RFC aircraft losses in WW1 and I was amazed at how many were lost or damaged by engine failure, often on take-off or landing. It seems that this evening's NOVA deals with mine warfare in WW1. Should be interesting.- DNO

What was the last TV show you watched?
Curse of Oak Island....aha! I knew it would be the Aztecs! Those pesky Central Americans...who knew? Makes you wonder why the History Channel (Canadian version) never seems to actually show much in the way of history any more (including this immense time-waster). I always enjoy the...- DNO

Hunting Hitler on the History Channel
Actually, the last I heard of Hitler was that he was living in a boarding house in Minehead...oh, sorry, that was Mr. Hilter, together with his friend Mr. Bimmler. "Not much fun in Stalingrad". -
What's Your New Year's Resolution?
I've never been a new year's resolution guy but I think I'll try to remember to 'like' more people's posts on this board. Just not used to the idea yet I guess.- DNO

How do folks react to your hat wearing?
Small world! Loved your homburg, and Oscar's bowler. I have one of each but I've never worn them. Love my Whippet, although it's a bit of a beater. Actually, I initially passed you standing alone at the entrance and commented on your hat (ie. "nice hat"). -

How do folks react to your hat wearing?
Last Sunday I was at a local antique market when I ran into two fellows standing together. One was wearing a bowler and the other a homburg. I was wearing an early '50s Stetson Whippet. We all just gave each other a slight smile and a slight nod and kept moving. -
How do folks react to your hat wearing?
The other day it was far too windy for a fedora so I left it in the car and donned a basque beret. Went into the store and I felt a light tap on my back. It was a older gentlemen who complimented me for being one of a dying breed, a man who obtains and wears a proper hat. I mentioned that I'd... -
Most Over-rated Actress of the Golden Era?
Jean Harlow. She may have been a saint...or a sinner...I don't know, but I find that when she's up on that silver screen she tends to suck the life out of the film. Just can't act. She almost ruins The Public Enemy for me...fortunately Cagney rescues the film. She does the same in Hell's...- DNO

Hunting Hitler on the History Channel
Hear, Hear! I too have history training which is why such 'could've been' tales are so distressing. It insults my discipline. And the backhanded insult...enough reason to end participation in this thread, I think. Don't need it. -
Hunting Hitler on the History Channel
Enough with the skull, already. That Guardian article that was in one of Blackjack's posts clearly states that a skull fragment, which was found a year after the discovery of Hitler's body, was found to be from a female....NOT the skull itself. "Could've been, should've been" history can be... -

Jackboots too, I would expect. Was he speaking Spanish...or Portuguese, perhaps?
