    Tales Of The Gold Monkey - DVD

    Maybe so I must concede that point, not knowing enough about the history of the show to argue it, but I still thought it a lightweight show, and the series episodes did show a post-RLA influence, as I recall.

    Tales Of The Gold Monkey - DVD

    Some are Well I wasn't as widely known as Roger, whose work I admire, but I did work as a professional film critic on several magazines for most of the 80's, have had experience as a scriptwriter, been an actor, and studied film noir at University as part of a degree in Digital Communication I...

    Let's See Your Watches! The Vintage Watch Thread.

    watch it I don't have many but I use the analogy of cars: my 60's GP is like an old European car, looks nice and finely made, but you wouldn't take it cross-country with a load of old boxes in the back...for daily knockabout stuff I use a Singapore-made Seiko, great reliable robust watch, like...

    The Abyssinian Campaigns

    Colonial desert wars This is also a fascinating but little-known conflict (apart from some hollywood nonsense roughly based on it) around the same time and area, I'd never heard of this battle until very recently, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disaster_of_Annual

    Staggeringly insulting vendors!

    a good laugh Wasn't this the guy who had the utterly hilarious ad for Grenfell trenchcoats? I looked for it again but he must have taken it down.

    Latest Ebay leather jacket, short Hans Marseille/Luftwaffe style

    interesting Strange article isn't it, my first reaction was ..yuck, how 80's.. due to the general cut, but when you look a bit closer, it has a certain charm after all, no doubt it would be considered quite hip by the younger crowd at the moment...was it expensive?

    The Phantom Comic Strip

    one that got away I always liked the secret island where all the lions and tigers had been fed on fish their whole lives and never tasted meat, so they were all tame and cuddly, has this ever been tried in real life I wonder...any wildlife park wallahs out there?

    Bruce got the juice - Bruce Willis' Jacket

    not too distressed Can I just say that I've been wearing and collecting vintage leather jackets for 40+ years, and I've NEVER NEVER EVER seen any type shape or form of faked or pre-distressed jacket that looked remotely 'right' and I've seen such things going new for thousands at times, so I...

    Bruce got the juice - Bruce Willis' Jacket

    the look Having started this, I should weigh in again, it looks to me like A: Bruce has got an original old jacket, B: this other guy probably whipped up a few copies that would pass muster on stand-ins and stuntmen but not in CLOSE UP, so he can claim to have made 'the surrogate jacket' as...

    log cabin

    Found a copy of "The Immigrant Builder" 1872 edition, cover's a bit duff but all pages are fine and illustrations excellent, I believe this was a very popular book in the American West...swaps considered!

    Dam Busters Production stills

    application Still, I often wonder why there was more, shall we say 'unorthodox' military thinking on the allied side so how's this for an argument: the scientific advances of the Germans could be put down to rigorous application of disciplinary thinking while the often unsuccessful but still...

    Dam Busters Production stills

    the right thinking That's always interested me as well, I suppose the 'eccentricity' that the British pride themselves on meant that was a greater pool of non-conformist thinkers tolerated by the British 'establishment' than could ever exist in the tightly hierarchical society that had...
