Heino !!! The "Lawrence Welk of Germany"!
He's lame, shlocky and ridiculous. My mum and dad were from that generation, and they loathed him. Mainly because they had good taste in music. He is to swing what Dick Clark is to RnR. Pure poison. He's like blackface in reverse. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0TSDcPW2Kk Thank the gods... -

Being the Lawrence Welk of Germany is almost as bad as being the Lawrence Welk of America. -
WWII British submarine wreck discovered off the Malta coast
Indicative of the decline in standards in journalism. I've read and listened to what passes for journalism in the US, Canada and Australia. I've got to tell you- the old warriors are spinning in their graves. Western democracy is well and truly up poop creek because the fifth estate has left... -

Music suggestions 20's 30's big band & jazz?
Fats is not only lively and fun-loving, he's virtuosic and mercurial in his depth. Anybody who has an appreciation for jazz and who loves swing loves either Fats Waller or some other artist or style that he helped create. He really was a mentor and behind-the-scenes presence who influenced... -

Chas Needs Furniture!!
Thanks. I'm aware of the Op-shops; they are what they are- pretty hit and miss, and I have had some success with them, but for the real stuff I need to find it on ebay and actually win the thing. Unfortunately being a health care shift worker it means I have few days off and very seldom do...- Chas

Chas Needs Furniture!!
Hello, all. Or should I say G'day? I'm now established in Edithvale, and while the house is a bit drafty (which will be fixed), I really need to make it into a home. In (almost) desperate need of decent furnishings - priority being kitchen and lounge. Something fedora-lounge-ish in...- Chas

Route 66 (2012 Trip) - any one live along the route?
I've driven the California/Arizona portions of it myself - IIRC there's a good chunks of it left there; Kingman and Barstow retain some of that Route 66 feel, to be sure. I remember one deserted gas station/truck stop somewhere SE of Barstow- very cool. Dixie Lee once had the Burlesque Hall of...- Chas

Clean Jokes
A Canadian, an American and a Scotsman go on vacation together. They rent a car and go for a drive- the driver loses control of the car and they slam into a huge tree. There is a brilliant white flash of light and they see the pearly gates with an old man sitting in front of the gates...- Chas

The Great War
the Somme was far worse for the Australians than Gallipoli was, that's for certain. My dad's dad was at the Somme as well, he was wounded at Courcellette, where the tanks were first used. -
Art Deco Remodelin' Help! Please :)
You are most welcome! Looking forward to seeing the pics posted when you two are done doing the work. I'm moving to Melbourne this month and once I get settled where I expect to be long-term I think I'm going to go with a heavily Hawaiian-influenced motif.- Chas

Art Deco Remodelin' Help! Please :)
Quite a few of the pics look quite "over the top". I suggest you find as many films as you can of the 1930's that have scenes shot in the bathroom. It might give you some ideas; however, this site will probably lead you to some helpful links and ideas and this site has vintage Lino &...- Chas
