    What was the last TV show you watched?

    The Romeo Section. Probably not on US TV. This show is a lot like reading an early Le Carre novel...you have to pay attention. Not a show for those whose attention tends to wander! I'm getting a little wary of The Walking Dead. We'll see what happens on Sunday.

    Today in History

    600 years ago, this very day...St. Crispin's Day, 1415: The Batlle of Agincourt. "And Crispin Crispian shall ne’er go by, From this day to the ending of the world, But we in it shall be remembered- We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; For he to-day that sheds his blood with me...

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    Ditto on the rotary phone. Can't beat a nice metal 302. Or an early 50s 500 with a bakelite handset. Still using both. We still have local book stores and groceries as well as barber shops. We have tons of stores in our downtown area and some local public high schools have introduced...

    Terrific! Watching an American program recorded off a Canadian station by a Norwegian while on a Portuguese ship...love it.

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Watching the first episode of a new series by Chris Haddock called The Romeo Section. He has written and produced some of the best television ever...Da Vinci's Inquest and Intelligence (the earlier one). He has also produced and written for Boardwalk Empire. This one looks excellent as well!

    What Are You Reading

    A local Value Village had a sale of 50% off their books today. I bought a pile of books, mainly by authors I've never read before. I'll dig into the pile soon. Right now I'm reading Simon Murray's account of his five years in the French Foreign Legion in the early '60s, called, simply...

    What Are You Reading

    Thirty years ago, I was hanging around a friend's shop when this well-dressed lady walked in holding a shopping bag. "I'd like to sell this helmet. It was my father's and he used to tell us that he wore it at Passchendaele." Every time I see something like this I shudder. Some folks just...

    Today in History

    October 14th...quite the day! Poor Harold met his grisly end at the Battle of Hastings in 1066 and in 1947 Chuck Yeager finally managed to break the sound barrier.

    What was your first car...???

    A beautiful car. In university, when I had my Chevy 2, my friend had a mid-60s Triumph Spitfire. When we wanted to go somewhere and look cool, we always took his car...when it ran. Not an MG but still a sweet car.

    Name the Actor...

    This one is more of a challenge, I suspect.... (one of my favourites) [/URL][/IMG] Actor? Character? Film?

    What Have You Acquired From Family?

    380 years of roots in my country (thanks mom) and a decent head of hair (thanks dad)...I value them both. (I know it's not what the OP meant, but I couldn't resist. I really do value them more than the few 'things' that they left me.)

    What was your first car...???

    1963 Chevy 2...until it fell apart (loved that little car), then a 1966 Olds F-85. My first new car was a 1978 Honda Accord.

    What Are You Reading

    No, I've read it before...that and Leckie's Helmet for my Pillow. as well as Gallant's The Friendly Dead about Iwo Jima. I've been wanting to read my volume dealing with Tarawa but I can't find it! Frustrating...I have far too many books in far too many nooks and cranies. Last year I gave 75...
