War Of The Worlds Hoax
Wow, Some form of synchronicity at work! Another list I contribute to is talking about this at the moment as well. And it was there, that I learned for the first time, that Americans did not take to the hills in their thousands! Always took it as read that there was true mass panic.- Dragon Soldier

The general decline in standards today
In the UK, possibly one of the biggest "breakthrough" shows of the past few years has been "Miranda", featuring Miranda Hart. Cariad Lloyd, although she hasn't a show of her own yet seems to be on just about every comedy themed panel show. "Elder stateswomen" of comedy like Jo Brand &...- Dragon Soldier

What's something modern you won't miss when it becomes obsolete?
I constantly get accused of being "tight" because we don't eat out often, people do not seem to be able to take on board that I enjoy cooking and would put put myself on near par with most of the places we could ordinarily afford to eat out in. Not helped by the fact that the one place I do...- Dragon Soldier

What's something modern you won't miss when it becomes obsolete?
Where are you dining? :D Said behaviour is a requirement of staff in some franchises, the one which springs immediately to mind is the one you have in the States which is named after owls or something... Although there are other, less obvious, establishments where it is also the case. There...- Dragon Soldier

"Too good to use..."
If you have half an eye on investment, or are particularly concerned about whether or not there are remaining examples of a particular item for future generations to see and admire then things can be too good to use. Although too valuable to use would probably be a better description in those...- Dragon Soldier

For the UK types (I'm not sure about elsewhere) using these systems, or anything else where a key is left in/on the vehicle can render your insurance invalid.- Dragon Soldier

No good to them whatsoever except filling the "Insert valid land line telephone" box on the phone-drone's screen.... Without which they genuinely can't complete your booking. Most of them have a phone script and a check based system to go through on their computers, the computer won't allow...- Dragon Soldier

General Vo Nguyen Giap dies.
Announced on various agencies in the past hour or so. Certainly a 'colourful' figure of the Golden Era. It will be interesting to see how, if at all, some nations react.- Dragon Soldier

When did the smiles begin?
Of course. There were many wonderful things about the past, I wouldn't be here if I didn't think so. There were also some decidedly nasty things. But when you consider the era that those here debate most is still within living memory and historically no more than a blink of an eye away, it...- Dragon Soldier

Show us your radios!
Very nice, love the dial and great condition for original finish. I'd like more radios but they're becoming increasingly difficult to source at my preferred venues as vendors become more suspicious of liability issues.- Dragon Soldier

Photo of 747 cabin ca. 1969-70. Look at the people!

When did the smiles begin?
I have no idea when, or how it happened... But I'm very glad it did. Can you imagine living in a world where every photo looks like the "before" image in a haemorrhoid advertisement? No thanks!- Dragon Soldier
