    The wrist watch.

    I think that a 28mm diameter watch would be too small for me, personally. However, I agree that the trend for large watches is becoming a joke. Now even cheap watches are being produced in oversized cases and this trend / fad seems to be, in part, to the watches worn by these so called...

    The wrist watch.

    Have to agree, I laughed out load at the idea of a Casio F91 being the watch of the century. It looks much like the Seiko LCD I had in the very early 1980s and, sure, they're cool......in a school playground! ;) But it also made me think about what would be the contender for that title, and I...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    That has happened to me so often now that I always carry emergency money to cover the cost of my shopping should the Gremlins come calling again next time I use cashless payments.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Just watched one of my old time favorites, namely Panic in the Streets (1950). Yeah, yeah, Richard Widmark and Paul Douglas are a good 'buddy - buddy team and Barbara Bel Geddes is swell as Widmark's wife but for me it is the bad guys which make the film such a great movie watching experience...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Watched Deadpool (2016), a really funny movie. I'm not a big fan of the X-Men, or Marvel characters (always been a DC kinda guy), but I find Deadpool's lack of seriousness rather charming, in a cartoon character kind of way. And his feelings towards the X-Men reflect my sentiments as well, so...

    The wrist watch.

    Too true.... My late 1980s Seiko still works fine and has never given me any trouble whatsoever. On the other hand, my Omega needed to be fixed after the winding mechanism failed (though only after ten whole years of wearing it). It cost me over £300 to get it fixed by Omega (sent back to...

    The GREAT BRITISH DUFFEL COAT thread

    Hmmm...... I've lived in the UK since the '80s and, frankly, I've never seen that many people wearing duffel coats. I do recall that dark woollen coats called Donkey Jackets were popular when I first arrived here. They had plastic or leather shoulder pads to protect the material from wear and...

    eBay global shipping program?

    The few times that I used this system there weren't any problems for me. From the US to UK items took about two and a half to three weeks (for some reason there were usually lengthy delays in London). Before that I'd usually get a card from my mail man saying that my international package was...

    Sears might be going belly up

    If you were from an military family, like mine, far from home then Sears meant looking forwards to getting their catalog twice a year. So, sad to hear this news (but not surprised).

    Pets in Golden Era movies

    One of my favourite Bogie films is High Sierra and it has Roy (Bogart) being adopted by a dog which is, in turn, the cause of Roy getting shot dead at the end of the film.

    I guess you had an active imagination much like mine. I recently came across this 'spook' in the middle of the day on a hike through the woods. Just glad I didn't bump into 'it' at night or the twilight! :)

    The wrist watch.

    I never thought of Seiko watches exactly as 'crap' but rather as a cheaper mainstream watch maker. I recall that they always had ads in our family National Geographic Magazine that we got in the 1970s and 80s. In fact, my first 'adult' watch was this Seiko Sport 150 which I bought in the late...

    The wrist watch.

    Interesting watch, looks like 1960s / 70s in style. Have to say, you just gotta love those big blobs of radioactive luminescent paint!

    I bought these two vintage booklets at the thrift store I volunteer at. One is a 1930s Colman's mustard cookbook where most of the recipes contain, yeah you guessed it, Colman's mustard! It is full of the most splendid 30s era drawings of nice middle class English folk, some in a colonial...
