    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    My mate loaned me 'Werewolf. The Beast Within'. He loved it. I though it was one of the top 5 worst films I have ever seen.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    As it was midsummer over here recently we introduced out 14 year old son to The Wicker Man. After he spent the first 5 minutes annoyingly asking 'So, is there actually a wicker man then?' over and over I think he found it interesting. I don't think it had the profound effect on him it had on me...

    Anyone else interested in trying out ration dieting?

    I'm a miserable failure already - I doubt a large curry and lager last night and chips (french fries) for lunch today would count as part of my ration! I shall start tomorrow!

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    'The Returned'. Like a Gallic Twin Peaks but super creepy! Anyone else watching? Who do you think The boy 'Victor' really is? I have a theory...

    Anyone else interested in trying out ration dieting?

    I had to go out and buy a new swimsuit last week and I practically wept looking in the mirror. I'm in! I'm going to go down the route of limiting protien, eating more veg and having much smaller portions. I'm not eating Snoek for anyone though!

    Vintage Vogue 7464 !!

    Oh, I wanted something that looked new and well made, it's just had a lot of wear and tear since! The combination of cheap stiffened felt and hat pins have given it a slightly swiss-cheese look!

    Vintage Vogue 7464 !!

    That's the only felt I could get, hence the spray! And the spray makes it go all crispy! Proper felt is extremely expensive unfortunately, and not that easy to source. That said, my hat looks ace - from a distance, it just feels like cardboard. The only consolation is that if it was a make do...

    Vintage Vogue 7464 !!

    Nettie, it was Isis who made the same hat as me. If I can work out how to post pics and have some time I'll post some of mine. The instructions are pretty poor and without a picture it's very hard to figure out how it goes together - it's like origami! I made it out of the only felt I could...

    Vintage Vogue 7464 !!

    I made that a while ago and it's near impossible to work it out from the pics or the diagrams. There was a thread a while ago where a few of us discussed this pattern and someone, I can't remember who, posted pics of it which helped a lot. I'll try to remember.

    1930s house interior

    Harry and Edna - at my dad's house, which is a late 20's/early 30's semi, he still had the original vathroom. It looked remarlably like the one in your picture with a mixture of tiles around faux vittrous glass panels. The panels were a swirly pale green and the tiles where black and white. It...

    Ahh, I'm a Woman of Mystery, I've always wanted to be one of those GHT! We live in Chester and so don't get to many of those events at that end of the country (and certainly not in 'Bette' the Big Seven). We do go to lots of events this end though, as, as a family we re-enact, on out own, as...

    dress clips

    I have tried earrings but sometimes the grip isn's as good and they can fall off, so beware!

    Doctor.... Who? Spoilers! Really, don't read if ur not up to date.

    GENE HUNT FOR THE NEW DOCTOR! Now, I'd pay good money to see that! I too would like the death of the overly complicated, vaguely ridiculous, eeeelonnggated story arcs. Let the stories run for 2 or 3 episodes, like they used to in the 70's, or keep 'em short and snappy.

    Doctor.... Who? Spoilers! Really, don't read if ur not up to date.

    Well, I know this is a perennial question, but Who would you have as Doctor Who? I too, would like to see an older Doctor. And much, much scarier stories, I repeat, the best Who episode ever (for me at least) has to be The Empty Child. Scary as hell. If you can get through the odd episode on...

    That's lovely GHT, and I'm assuming she got that gorgeous fabric to match that rather nice straw bag on the right?! Off topic, but is the car in your picture yours? And what is it? We've got an Austin Big Seven.

    Need help identifying a couple of jewlery items.

    I'm afraid I have no definitive answer, but they definitely look 40's. What a marvelous set!

    Doctor.... Who? Spoilers! Really, don't read if ur not up to date.

    I think the Doctor you think is the arcitypal one is the one you remember from being a kid, so for me it's Tom Baker too - what a nutter! Tom was a bit loopy in real life too and was a big drinking partner of Francis Bacon the painter, with lots of infamous drinking sessions in the Coach and...

    I've just had a look online and it seems that Hurt is only on board for the 50th annaversary special. What a dissapointment!

    Ohhh, I really don't know if I should..... Oh go on then, I'm terrible at keeping a secret! IT'S JOHN HURT!!!!!!

    Doctor.... Who? Spoilers! Really, don't read if ur not up to date.

    I didn't even know Matt Smith was leaving, although I can't say I'm sorry. Of all the recent Doctors I preferred Christopher Ecclestone. But I really hope it's not some cruel trick ot I'll be terribly upset! What a coup!
