    What was the last TV show you watched?

    If you have a chance, you should have a look at Beneath Hill 60, an Australian film produced in 2010 about tunnellers in WW1. The Trench, from 1999, with Daniel Craig is also worth a look.

    Unappreciated masterpieces?

    Very good point regarding the quality of some TV productions. I'd encourage people to view "The Wire" as well...one of the best works of drama I've ever seen. Five seasons and not a single weak episode.

    Show us your Thrift and/or yard sale finds

    Nice finds Shangas. Those dental tools come in handy. I found this at a thrift store today. Not my usual art book but I can't resist any author or artist signed book...in this case artist signed. It also had a print inside, signed by the artist as well. In addition, in the...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Breathing Fire: The Battle of the Somme. Lots of WW1 specials on, thanks to the upcoming 100th anniversary. I've long had a strong interest in this particular bout of insanity.

    This is the last residence of Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna, sister of Tsar Nicholas II. She passed away in Toronto (in the apartment over the travel agency) in 1960. A long, long way from St. Petersburg.

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    At one time, 'Mutt and Jeff' was used by British/Commonwealth veterans of the First World War to refer to a pair of campaign medals: the British War Medal and the Allied Victory Medal. They were the two most commonly awarded medals in the British/Commonwealth services. When one added a...

    CNN article: Some buyers want time capsule homes

    My house was built in 1927 and has a full porch on the front. About 10 years ago we decided that it had about reached its end, so we hired a couple of true craftsmen to tear down the porch and replace it with exactly the same thing. It took them a while and they had to mill their own hand...

    Unappreciated masterpieces?

    Seeing the war in Vietnam mentioned reminded me of a truly unappreciated masterpiece. No jingoism and a very creative approach to the subject: 84 Charlie Mopic (1989). Low budget...unknown actors...excellent film.

    The Railway Man (2013). Best modern movie I've seen for years. Vastly superior to most modern products.

    Unappreciated masterpieces?

    Comedies rarely make it onto any 'masterpiece' list. One hugely unappreciated film in this genre is "We're No Angels" (1955). Directed by Michael Curtis, it starred the terrific trio of Humphrey Bogart, Aldo Ray and Peter Ustinov. An absolutely delightful film, it's become my favourite...

    Good choice. I always thought Shaw and Matthau were particularly good in this one.
