    Great cats Melissa! I finally managed to get a couple of shots of my beast showing off his truly prodigious tail: Given his tendency to wag that monster around, it gets him into trouble on a regular basis!

    "Sherlock" BBC series.

    Thanks for the explanation Edward and Anton. I should've thought of the Blackadder example...I'm a huge fan (I have a cunning plan). Looking forward to their take on the Hound of the Baskervilles this Sunday.

    "Sherlock" BBC series.

    I watched episode 1 of series two on Sunday (Scandal in Belgravia). Frankly I'd forgotten how good this show was! Excellent. Holmes and Watson are terrific. Irene Adler was impressive as well. I was checking out the rest of this thread but I started to run into the discussion of series 2...

    Customer Service in the old days versus now.

    We used to have one of those classic hardware stores in my neighbourhood...old wood floors and all. You'd go into the store and the very pleasant fellow at the cash would ask what you're looking for and then disappear into the store. A short time later he would be back with exactly the thing...

    Church rummage sale find today: Edwardian copper quart measure from 1902 made in Waterloo, Ontario. I just wish the previous owner had been a little less enthusiastic with the metal polish...it's a bit tarted up!

    Item(s) You Regret Having Gotten Rid Of?

    Over the years I've collected all sorts of stuff. When my interest would shift to a new area, I'd divest myself of one collection and start another but there are some things that I really wish I had kept. Among them: an 1809 French Cuirassier sword; a US Civil War Starr cavalry carbine; a...

    More luck today. A nice yellowish Tootal, 60's vintage I suspect. The scarf has much more yellow in it than the photos would indicate. And an unlabelled silk number. I suspect it, too, is the same vintage.

    It's amazing that you're thrift-shopping in a smaller community and come up with these terrific finds, Tom. Those clocks are great!

    I do indeed TT! I suspect that is where these beauties originated anyway.

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Finished it last night. It's well worth the hunt. I had never heard of it until I stumbled on the discs at a thrift store...a very lucky find!

    Thanks, Shangas. It looks larger in the photo than it really is...it's about 4" high and 8" long. It would look sharp cradling a bunch of grapes, I would think.

    Movies you're stunned that people haven't seen....

    Before I retired I was Head of Arts at a local high school. I was sitting in the staffroom one day having lunch and noticed two teachers...one a math teacher, the other an English teacher...standing in front of a poster that listed the winners of the Oscar for best picture, right back to Wings...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Halfway through the Shackleton mini-series. Now I know why all those people have been telling me that Kenneth Branagh is a superb actor...'cause he is! Excellent mini-series.

    I was rooting around in the local Goodwill today...50% off sale today...and made a lucky find. Hanging in the women's scarf area (as usual) was this striking vintage green and maroon beauty. No labels, unfortunately. I brought it home and when I compared it with another scarf that I...
