    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Used the can in Dover Castle about 40 years ago. The toilet paper wasn't in a roll and was dispensed sheet by sheet. Every single sheet was stamped: "Property of H.M. Government"!

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    I was a fan of Longmire as well although I found that the Denver investigation storyline was slowing things up a bit. Craig Johnson's books are even better than the TV series.

    What is it part 2

    They look like bon-bon dishes...for candy/chocolates.

    Signed Books

    Thanks. I've made some amazing finds in thrift stores. Last year I found a book on the history of Toronto, signed by the author and, amazingly enough, inscribed as a gift from my aunt to my favourite uncle (both deceased for years now)...now that was bizarre. All my finds have been made at...

    Death of a Newspaper

    I hope you're right...and it was an exciting place to work. I loved the proofroom...what a collection of amazing, intelligent and definitely quirky people. There were some truly fascinating eccentrics in there.

    Signed Books

    They're all interesting newsman! It's the histories and the biographies that I find most interesting myself, although the most common finds are fiction/literature. Some of my favourites: Autobiographies or political works by 7 different Canadian Prime Ministers; Shake Hands with the Devil, by...

    Signed Books

    Haven't read it yet...my queue is pretty long right now! It was really the Pavarotti autobiography that got me excited, I have to admit.

    Hunting Hitler on the History Channel

    It's a TV drama...not a documentary. Relax.

    What will come next to our society?

    Hate to say it but my son encountered one at the airport in Tokyo last year. He was so amazed he sent me a photo...now if I could just find it!

    Hunting Hitler on the History Channel

    Many UFO experts agree...that Hitler is alive and well and living in Atlantis, listening to live Elvis Presley concerts and having afternoon tea with Jimmy Hoffa. I was hoping it was just the Canadian History channel that had degraded to such a dismal degree. Too bad the US version is the...

    Help with {date or identify} a hat please.....!

    I think he's expressing a certain incredulity that one could pay $10 for a decent fedora. I'd hate to tell him what I pay for them. And if the sweat band was dry and cracking, it can't be a new stock hat...at least I hope not.

    Death of a Newspaper

    The demise of the print edition of most newspapers may be inevitable. I hope it isn't, but I have a bad feeling about this. I've been a newspaper reader my whole life. My father worked for a major Canadian newspaper. My first summer job was as an office boy at the Toronto Star and my summer...

    Signed Books

    Those are some terrific signed books, Newsman! To have a book that has been handled by the actual author or subject is very special indeed.

    Help with {date or identify} a hat please.....!

    That seems like quite a bit for a hat that size...where in Canada are you?

    Name your favorite films based on true stories.

    Beneath Hill 60 (2010). The Australians make some excellent films.

    Name your favorite films based on true stories.

    The film, 'The Railway Man', deals with the true story of a former POW confronting his Japanese torturer many years after the war. A powerful film and well worth watching.

    Show us your scarves ...

    I found an opulent-looking burgundy silk scarf today at the antique market. The photo doesn't do justice to the colour. The detailed photo of the label is more accurate. I have lots of Currie scarves but I've never seen this label. It may be '30s or '40s. It's not printed. The blue stripes...

    Things That Never Seem to Change

    There's another kind? Gotta have Lea and Perrins.

    Signed Books

    This week I came across two interesting signed books: Luciano Pavarotti's My World and Tom Wolfe's I Am Charlotte Simmons. Love those thrift stores! Haven't got the patience right now to post photos. Photobucket loads unbelievably slow for me.
