    You know you are getting old when:

    After a very heavy marking season and, unfortunately, having to deal with a couple of students who gave in to the temptation to cheat on assessments, I'm feeling a bit worn out. Last Saturday, I went to Dog Day Afternoon, a nine hour punk fest featuring a lot of old favourites (Buzzcocks, Stiff...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Flicked through the streamers last night looking to rewatch the Jones pictures ahead of seeing Dial next week, but it turns out they're all charging more than I could buy them for on disk to hire [I already own the disks, but they're in storage still], or it's a 'sign up to Disney Plus' deal...

    Bring me baggy trousers!

    I've noticed both ASOS and Zara doing wider leg, higher waist trousers this season. Manmade fabrics (though cheap) so I don't know if they'd hang right. (Years ago, I had a pair of bags from HeyDay. Nicely made in the UK, but the fabric was a poly blend that was really too light and they never...

    Review: The Ultimate Performance Suit from Charles Tyrwhitt

    I used to buy a lot from CT. The significant majority of my shirts are still from their 'non iron' range - wonderful things. Stopped buying the trousers years ago out of frustration in the cut. Their 'classic fit' was lovely in the leg width, very mid-century, but alas for my just 2" shy of my...

    Simon James Cathcart/Cathcart London Problems

    Same experiences here. I'm wearing the light green 'Artisan' jacket today. Picked up a Shepperton suit as well, got to have the trousers hemmed yet. Some lovely stuff. I badly want the college jumper in the Winter collection, but it's out of my current budget. Maybe if I'm lucky with a sale...

    Most overrated movies?

    I adored ET back in 1982 - but then I was seven! Not sure what I'd make of it now. I instinctively want to say I'd hate it because it'll be full of Spielberg's trademark saccharine schmaltz, but I suspect it'd probably be a touch darker than I'd remember (as were a fair few things from back then...

    Indiana Jones V

    That would be my feeling. If it earns a reputation as the Logan of the franchise (let's not forget there were a couple of Wolverine solo outings before that which were..... of variable quality....), it could do very well indeed in the longer term. Fox have raked in a fortune - and will doubtless...

    Indiana Jones V

    I had much the same feeling coming out of The Dark Knight - great film (though I don't personally rate it being as much all that as it became fashionable to. Call me cynical, but I do think Ledger's untimely death did rather boots its favourable reviews somewhat), but it was a painful 20 minutes...

    Indiana Jones V

    That's interesting it worked for them from the pov of coming fresh to the series. I'm going to see it myself next Thursday - going with a friend - day off, matinee screening, early afternoon start (just after noon) - hopefully means a quiet cinema. Learned the hard way years ago not to go to...

    Schott sale Ssense

    Would be best reposted in the outerwear 'finds and deals' thread, I think - Classifieds is exclusively for TFL members to post their own used items for sale.

    What Cap Are You Wearing Today?

    Yes, hard to take in he's 76! Mind you, it was also Debbie Harry's 78th Birthday on Saturday, and that's even harder to believe!

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I love the franchise. I enjoyed the first 'new' one - for me, it felt in keeping with the originals, more of a 'different group of kids get taken in by the cabin' than a remake as such. The TV series was the last thing i saw - lovely continuation of Ash's story. This new film I want to see. Will...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Rewatching the first season of Good Omens ahead of the new one dropping on Mrs Marlowe's birthday later this month.

    Guitars

    That's the truth. I have a very Gretsch-shaped hole in my collection. Unfortunately, they don't do much for left handers in the 5xxx series. I do have my eye on either a black 5420 or one of the Tim Armstrong models, with the aim of having it pinstriped in red and white down the line. I'd have...

    Star Trek

    They've all aged well.... Dr Crusher still has those delectable cheekbones! Ha, yes.... There's a lot to be said for having your primary fame in a mask of some sort. It's notionally consistent with him wiping out the federation by saving a life in City on the Edge of Forever! Of course he...

    What Cap Are You Wearing Today?

    Saturday 1 July, 2023. Bronson A3 cap in pre-war spec blue denim. Wore this out to Dog Day Afternoon at Crystal Palace - Iggy Pop headlining with Blondie, Generation Sex, Stiff Little Fingers, Buzzcocks, and Lambrini Girls in support). Cracking gig. Overcast morning - if I'd realised how hot it...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Yes, it's an excellent example. Had it been a 46 or a 48 I'd have jumped on it for a Doctor Frank'n'Furter jacket.

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    I've already got a Schott 618, but all the same I keep toying with the idea of getting one of these from Aero if they could do me the stars and the extra-long sleeve zips as per the Durable.
