Steady as she goes, Mr. Lightoller.

I am heartily glad men's fashions change so slowly. It allows us to wear vintage fashion without looking like we're on the way to a theatrical production. When I was a smaller lad (we are all just larger lads/kids are we not?), I imagined we would all be wearing silvered jumpsuits zooming about wearing rocket or jet packs on our backs in 2010. Didn't happen. OK by me. Can no longer afford the jet fuel now that the RECESSION has blossomed, anyway.
