    Frustrated! Addressing people by their title, and other 'old-fashioned' sayings

    I always address the rector of my church as "Rector" as in "Hello, Rector, that was a jolly good sermon this morning....." Everyone else calls him Father Gary or worse--just plain Gary. Not me.

    Vintage cologne

    There is at least one other thread on this topic. My favorites of the old colognes still in production are Dunhill for Men (1934), Caron's Pour un Homme (also from 1934) and Knize Ten (1925)--all great, old scents and because they are still made they are as fresh as any modern scent you would...

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    A St. George's Gin Martini with Lillet rose for vermouth. Wow. As it is in the 90s here in So Cal, we had a bone dry Cotes de Provence with dinner. La Vie en Rose!

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    I had a Virgin Mary--I love Bloody Marys but didn't feel like the booze for some reason. Anyway, with or without, this is a great drink! The Grenadier in London makes the best, I think.

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Last night I watched "Too Many Christmas Trees," the Christmas episode of The Avengers from the Emma Peel period (1965). A seasonal favorite at our house. Great plot, the usual, wonderful Avengers stylishness and dialogue and an amusing reference to Pussy Galore. Christmas done right... as...

    Wow--you sure know your stuff. Thanks, will look into the DB resistor. Will have to wait until January as a small Christmas tree--with icicles and vinatge lights--is now in place for the duration!

    1929 Brunswick Radiola 17

    I just inherited my grandfather's 1929 wireless/gramaphone that is a Bruswick Radiola 17 from 1929 in a beautiful walnut cabinet. I love it--have not plugged it in yet although I am told that it is in perfect working order. Any other collectors of these out there? I must buy some new...
