    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I don't watch it that often, but I'm a big fan of Carpenter's The Thing. Just watched the Criterion collection dvd of Spartacus. Very nice print. Such a pleasure to watch Olivier in action.

    Best WWII museums

    Once the mainstay of the Battle of the Atlantic, now unique: HMCS Sackville, the last corvette. Located in Halifax, Nova Scotia. While I'm at it...the last Tribal Class destroyer, HMCS Haida is on permanent display in Hamilton, Ontario. The Canadian War Museum in Ottawa is excellent, as is...

    Dinner Party Etiquette

    This fellow sounds obnoxious and rude, to say the least. As I've aged I have found that I suffer fools less gladly...to the point that I simply don't suffer them at all any more. If he turns your attendance at the dinner party into a thoroughly unpleasant experience, why do it? I don't know...

    Adjusting to small town life.

    Ugly probably doesn't go far enough. Very creepy. I think I'll just stay in my city for now.

    Adjusting to small town life.

    My wife and I were in Dover in 1980. We took a trip to London for a couple of weeks and made a number of day trips out...one was to Dover. Two years later, we spent two weeks driving around the southern counties in a rental car. We took our time, ate in pubs, stayed in small B & Bs ...best...

    Show us your most precious vintage item .

    I had to mull this one over for a while...I have a lot of "old stuff". Right now, I think it's this one. This is the last White Ensign to fly from the mast of the corvette H.M.C.S. Chambly in W.W.2. Chambly sank 2 U-Boats in the course of the Battle of the Atlantic and quite distinguished...

    Drowning Mona. Had a heck of a time finding a DVD of this film but it was worth it. Hilarious...and quite the Yugo-fest.

    Adjusting to small town life.

    Been to Dover. Loved the castle and the Roman lighthouse. Loved the cliffs. You live in a terrific place, Dubya.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Beneath Hill 60. An Australian film about the 1st Australian Tunnelling Company and the mines under Messines Ridge in 1917. A really excellent film...another superb product from the land down under! It's about time someone made a film about what happened underground in the First World...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Gordon and the Mahdi never met. I always found that particular distortion of history for dramatic purposes somewhat irritating. Despite the fact that I was always interested in the relief of Gordon in Khartoum and the fact that Gordon was a pretty fascinating character, I've always found that...

    Brim up or Brim Down

    That was The Big Sleep...he put glasses on as well. As soon as he finished the questioning he left the store and the brim came right back down.

    Adjusting to small town life.

    They're popping up everywhere...small towns like Stouffville, Port Perry and Uxbridge now feature a Walmart in some sort of large box store development on the edge of town. I try not to be too dogmatic in most things but I just can't bring myself to enter a Walmart...I did once, bought nothing...

    Today's thrift store find...Crown Ducal trio (plus additional cups and saucers), late '20's to late '30's. We're going to return tomorrow to see if the plates emerge from the back room!
