Let's play a game:
We write a story together.
Just copy what the post above has entered and write the next part. As long or as short as you like. No changes to the text some one else has posted or yours once it's on line.
I'll start...
Everything in the room had stopped until the story ended. For a half minute all was quiet and then the normal buzz of a bar restarted. Colomba brought a plate of grana cheese to the table and sat down.
“My mother told me a story once. An evening very much like this one in the osteria.

Her mistress was addicted to reading American magazines and in particular to the local paper from a small town. Sometimes she would take cuttings from this paper and paste them in a book that she kept in the safe with her jewellery. The mistress was often depressed after this ritual and would...
Without wishing to offend anyone who wears one or even likes them - I think it's the most ridiculous style of moustache ever developed. Making it unwearable was a gift from Hitler to the world. Flame on
This is the first draft of a novel I wrote. I'm finalising it over the next few weeks.

I'm currently on my 7th and hopefully final revision. Grammer, spelling and basics HAVE been sorted but any thoughts or comments most welcome.
In the naval battle of Port Ocai the ship called the Saracen was sunk. One of the sailors, I’ll call him Pecard, even if I’m not sure of his name, saved himself by hanging on to a piece of wreckage. As the battle went on like a game of chess for many days, both fleets circling and trying to gain...
It probably was 40 years ago. I think a N° 2 buzz migh be the most popular now.
I always thought the short back and sides was a silly, old fashioned haircut (whoops,my age is showing again), until I saw a couple done properly a couple of years ago. I'm guessing it may be one of the hardest...
Is that like the trick Greek and Turkish barbers use to deal with ear hair? (alternative to burning paper and blowing flames in your ear?) I've only heard of these, never seen them done. Any details would be much appreciated.
This site has a lot of information on the history and such.

The tabarro is a cloak common in northern Italy until about the 1940s, worn in the country by peasant farmers and shepherds. I was always fascinated by them since seeing a photo of my father as a student in the 1930s wearing one. The were also (perhaps still are) outerwear with some military...

My post is not a complaint about stiffness or my expectations. it is a question on when others consider a jacket broken in. Exactly which thread below this one should I be studying, their order in the forum may have changed since you posted.
When do you consider a new horsehide jacket broken in?
My idea is that it's broken in when I can easily put it on, take it off and wear it comfortably.
My experience of horsehide is limited to two jackets with a third on the way. The first was worn fairly often for a couple of years but...
I placed my order with Amanda at Aero 11 Dec, confirmed ready 30 Mar. A little longer than expected and quoted but I should get a couple of months break in before it gets hot.
