Wehrmacht Collection
Repros There is another aspect to creating really good uniform copies: You can hire them out! My Napoleon's Garde Chasseurs Colonel uniform appeared in a History Channel production and the Andrew Jackson uniform can be seen in the Natilonal Park Service film at the Battle of New Orleans... -

Anyone play Bridge?
A Bridge Too Far... Last year two other couples, my wife and I made an earnest attempt to learn it, over several months, with the help of one of our group's parents who were kind and very encouraging. Alas, their daughter was the one who enjoyed it least and we stopped. It seems like...- filfoster

New sherlock holmes movie
No uh, crap, Sherlock For this viewer, Jeremy Brett IS (sadly, 'was' but lives on in film) Sherlock Holmes. That said, I enjoyed the Robert Downey Jr./Jude Law Adventures very much and hope they will continue to churn these out. Many of us have enough love for the subject to embrace many...- filfoster

World War I ended . . . last Sunday!
Richard J. Evans' book, 'The Coming of the Third Reich' and Charles Bracelen Flood's "Hitler: The Path to Power" both essay how these reparations caused the German economy to tank, justified the French occupation of the Ruhr and therefore helped strangle the Weimar Republic in its cradle. These... -
Cologne and perfume
A rose is a rose NO ONE in our headquarters office wears cologne and survives the water cooler assassination. There are only a few brave enough to and they are ridiculed. I honestly don't know why-it's not overpowering but just not accepted. Wearing cologne was a perfectly normal thing to...- filfoster

Real 'James Bond' revealed in MI6 archives
Shaken, not stirred Re Biffy Dunderdale.... I dunno. Sounds like a P G Wodehouse name-one of Bertie Wooster's friends at the Drones? He would certainly have a chip on his shoulder, disliking the parents who gave him the last name and the childhood bullies who gave him the first. The... -

Unpopular movie opinions...
DANGER! Here's a real friendship killer. When my friends wax on and on about Animal House and how great John Belushi was, I just have to bite my tongue. He died way too young (as did Phil Hartman) but come on, he wiggled his eyebrows. That's about it. This opinion has cast permanent palls on...- filfoster
