    20 Obsolete English Words that Should Make a Comeback

    I think poodlefaker ("A young man too much given to tea parties and ladies' society generally (often for social advancement)", not the illicit and highly rephrensible act of counterfeiting small and annoying dogs) could do with revival.

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Pie in the Sky, the British television show, not the film.

    Just finished the latest Phryne Fisher novel, Dead Man's Chest, and started re-reading Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.

    What old fashioned traditions do you have for Christmas???

    Supper, as I have been brought up with it, is a meal that follows the evening meal, perhaps two or three hours after. Breakfast, Luncheon, Dinner, Supper.

    Gents: Do you feel comfortable with a woman who is taller than you?

    Quite, but the point isn't that other forms of discrimination are not present, rather that height is the only one that remains acceptable to admit to in polite society. I find that intriguing. It is even considered poor taste at best to say that you want your partner to be aesthetically pleasing.

    What old fashioned traditions do you have for Christmas???

    On Christmas Eve my mothers family have a supper and present giving session at my grandmothers house. Then we have the full blown English Christmas Day luncheon. Roast turkey, stuffing, ham, roast vegetables, peas etc. Followed by Christmas pudding, the apotheosis of pudding, with brandy...

    Gents: Do you feel comfortable with a woman who is taller than you?

    I've nothing against tall people, but I wouldn't want my daughter to marry one. I find it odd that height seems to be one area where its still socially acceptable to discriminate in such a manner, as opposed to, say, skin colour which is another quirk of genetics the individual has no control...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Harry Potter 7, which I enjoyed rather more than I thought I would.

    The Antipodean thread

    I don't suppose anyone here knows of an Australian vintage appliace restoration service? Preferably in Victoria. I was given what I believe to be a 1960s (the model number is worn away and the serial number partly gone so its hard to be sure) Kelvinator refrigerator but it is in rather dire straits.

    A Royal Engagement

    Ditto, though I must admit to finding most presidential inaugurations incredibly dull in comparison to the Royal equivalent. Compared to the British Royal equivalent rather, none of the other Monarchies have the full medieval coronation anymore. Not even the Papacy. The weddings aren't in this...

    What are you wearing today??

    Not me, obviously, but my little sister in her first attempt at a vintage look, with Dior's New Look in mind.

    Trashy Diva

    My sister just received a coat-dress from Trashy Diva, pictures below. She is thrilled with it, fits like it was made for her and is extremely well constructed. The pictures were taken almost immediately after it arrived, so forgive the creases and whatnot. It was her first attempt at...

    The Cheese thread

    I do know there have only been a handful of deaths linked to unpasteurised cheese in France since 1996 or so, how this affects pregnant women I wouldn't venture to say. If you speak French you could always see if the French government/medical establishment offer similar advice, that would give...

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    I tried my first bourbon, Wild Turkey 101. Very smooth and rather tasty

    Your Favorite Sandwiches?

    Can't go wrong with ham, cheese and(or?) mustard sandwiches, so long as the ham is good and the cheese a fine cheddar (or gruyere, I suppose). Plain, fried or toasted.

    do you ever go to restaurants by yourself?

    I generally dine at a good restaurant on the way home from University, by necessity on my own. It is rather nice to be able to just sit and think while enjoying the meal.

    Grey flannels

    My pleasure, do post a review when you receive them, I'm dying to know what they are like. I've been wanting a pair myself but need to wait until I've stopped shrinking.

    The Antipodean thread

    I just had my first vintage sighting today. A young woman in Smith street at around four this afternoon wearing a white dress with some kind of red print, seamed stockings and I'm fairly certain her hair was done in a vintage style. Sadly I only spotted her as she was decanting from the tram so...
