    Yes, most Scottish men tend to wear them mostly for special occasions nowadays, like weddings. The Scottish regiments in the British army still wear them as their number 1 uniform. However, there are some men who do wear them on a day to day basis but that isn't as common as it once was. Kilts...

    The wrist watch.

    Went thru some boxes in the attic and found my old British army G10 Swiss made watch. It is a quartz and I bought it back in the late 1980s and wore it for a long time afterwards (as its banged up condition so clearly shows!). The oval CWC logo was introduced in 1982, so it was made between then...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    When I was a kid there was a TV show on NBC called Julia. It starred a young black single mother who worked as a nurse, and her son (who was roughly my age at the time I watched the show). I fondly remember watching it as a child in the very early 1970s though I don't know whether it ever aired...

    I Wear A Hat Because... Rx

    Very sensible advice about wearing a hat in the sun, preferably one with a brim. I have worn wide brimmed hats when in the sun, mostly during the summer months when the sun is strongest, for some years. I also cover up when I'm out in the sun and wear long sleeved shirts (some with UV...

    Autumnal Thoughts........

    Autumn has always been a magical time and my favorite season. Slowly, up here in the north, Nature is preparing for autumn and, here and there, the colors are slowly changing. The recent oppressive high temperatures of summer are gone and there is a coolness in the air in the mornings and...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    There was a Poirot episode (The Third Girl) on TV again so I watched that. Besides Hercule Poirot (David Suchet) it also featured another of my favorite Poirot characters, namely Adriadne Oliver (Zoe Wanamaker). Though this episode was set in the 1930s, the story when it first came out was set...

    Show us your Thrift and/or yard sale finds

    I was checking out my local thrift store again yesterday when I came across this little fella, an Italian resin Aquila, or State Eagle of the Roman Empire (yeah, I'm an amateur student of the Classics). He is about 8 inches tall and such a mean looking critter that I just had to buy him. He now...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Same here, the first few seasons of TBBT were funny and the characters were endearing and fresh. However, it lost its appeal for me a long time ago when the show began to fall into a cycle of the same lame old jokes being retold and rehashed in nearly every episode. What kept me going, really...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Hmmm, I guess that I'm not an adult with much self-awareness in that case because I had a blast as a thirteen year old and Junior High was a great time for me. Still, I'll look out for this film.

    Star Trek

    There have, of course, been many guest stars on the show but probably one of the best performances was by George Takai giving advice to Howard. Compared to George Takai and Wil Wheeton, I thought that the other Star Trek guest stars were a tad, well, wooden in that show. Talking about Ahmed...

    Star Trek

    Funny enough, there has been some debate on the Wesley and Jake Sisko characters within the Army Brat community and some wondering whether the writers had a similar background growing up within a military culture.

    Star Trek

    I guess he was for the young kids to identify with. Funny enough, I hated the Wesley character too but love the way Wil Wheaton plays up on his TNG character on TBBT.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Can't beat The Bad News Bears (1976) starring Walter Matthau and Tatum O'Neal. Now, that is the kinda Baseball I understand.......! :)

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    After having read, amongst others, the book Berlin 1961, by Frederick Kempe, I was keen to watch the Spielberg / Tom Hanks film Bridge of Spies (2015). In the film Tom Hanks plays a lawyer (James B. Donovan) defending a Soviet spy (Rudolf Abel). Later, when a spy plane flown by Francis Gary...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    As a long time Superman fan I have just watched the first episode of Krypton. The plot revolves around events about 200 years before the appearance of Kal - El (Superman) and is set in the city of Kandor. Another childhood favorite comic figure is present in this series, Adam Strange, though not...
