Anyone else interested in the ancient world?
Haven’t actually. Added to the list. At the moment I’m reading ‘Caravan Cities’ by Rostovtzeff. Written in 1933 but a bit of a classic on Palmyra, Dura, Petra, etc. While also reading ‘Murder isn’t Easy, The Forensics of Agatha Christie’…. The joys of eclectic interests. Rostovtzeff actually...- Godfrey

Anyone else interested in the ancient world?
I’ve been down a bit of a rabbit hole of organised crime in the classical world. There was an interesting conference on the topic a few years ago so I’ve been chasing down references and trying to work out what I can make of it that is new. I also attended a Roman Law symposium a little while...- Godfrey

Anyone else interested in the ancient world?
I just read Tiki Tom’s intro post to this thread to my wife. She said, “you wrote that well.” I said, “It’s not mine” She said, “but that’s you” Currently completing my Masters in Ancient History… fedora in hand. It’s a great thing to study. Looking forward to subjects on near eastern trade...- Godfrey

Berets, Anyone?
Here is a nice little warning on being gentle when stretching a beret. I've stretched many a beret in my time (using the Ron Greer method) so I think this was probably a lack of attention to the thickness of the felt in comparison to the force applied! There may have also been a bit of a... -
The 20’s again...
I’ve been thinking of a 1920’s news feed. My great grandfather collected a Melbourne Magazine called Punch (based on the UK version) and had it bound each year. I ended up with the 1912-1914 collections and spent 2012-2014 reading the appropriate magazine for the year and month. Was a really...- Godfrey

The 20’s again...
@LizzieMaine coming from the other side of the planet I hand the read about Peaches and Daddy. Wow! Crazy. We had Squizzy Tailor and Snub Pollard to both frighten and entertain.- Godfrey

The 20’s again...
Hello! I realised it’s less than 60 days before the 20’s begin. I was wondering if anyone was planning anything? We are thinking of a bit of a 20’s garden party (Southern Hemisphere summer helps) but looking for inspiration!- Godfrey

Gangsters wearing New Era caps indoors. Are you offended?
I'm really glad to say I don't know what a New Era hat is. Please don't enlighten me. I feel fine! ;) -

Berets, Anyone?
I agree with the 'pulled forward' method. But if in doubt (or small diameter beret) go some sunglasses - they also look good with a beret. -
Sellers in Australia
My best finds have been in the country. I found a really fantastic overcoat in Warrnambool for $40 which is now my winter regular. I've also bought some excellent English handmade shoes in a tiny town south of Horsham - new in a box and great fit for $5. Get off the beaten track and fossick if...- Godfrey

Frustrated! Addressing people by their title, and other 'old-fashioned' sayings
I think failing to show respect is always an error. My father was making a complaint with an airline and getting a slightly raw reception. The consultant called him 'Andrew' which got his gander. His response - with icy voice - was that he should be addressed as Professor and that while they...- Godfrey

Harrison Ford in 42 The Gray Hat
Hopefully makes it to Australia. It's odd what makes it here and what doesn't. Great hat - Indyish without looking Indy. What it's probably missing is a nice bit of Vogon poetry! -
