Has Anyone Sent Shoes Back To The Manufacturer?
They were the better quality boots. I think they just didn't account for either the size of the uptake, or how hard people would wear them when they would be replaced for free and therefore didn't need looking after....- Edward

Indiana Jones V
Generation X, I remember when I loved that the big film was on BBC, because no ads to spoil it. Then I got older, and ads were welcome because I could go for a pee at half time and miss nothing. Then streaming arrived.... best of both worlds. I don't really care about being socially disconnected...- Edward

Has Anyone Sent Shoes Back To The Manufacturer?
What killed DMs was the buyer, really. The market demanded they remain - as they did for years - at £45 a pair. The standard stuff is a bit more than that now, but the price didn't rise at all close to in line with inflation. That of course meant that over time they had to cut corners - first it...- Edward

Has Anyone Sent Shoes Back To The Manufacturer?
Those buckle boots look interesting. I had a pair of British Gulf War I (Desert Storm) era roughouts years ago that I bought from a surplus place and left in the wardrobe for a few months, waiting for Summer. Took them out and the soles had melted to a gummy, sticky mess. Never worn. No idea...- Edward

Simon James Cathcart/Cathcart London Problems
Yeah, I have mine on a paypal 3 in 1.... that's become a dangerous thing, that! The College V is totally something I would wear to the office in Winter, but I'll have to wait for the Far East version. TBH, I'd also love it to be rendered in cotton knit - I hate spending money on nice knitwear...- Edward

Indiana Jones V
You ain't seen nothing til you've encountered Doctor Who fans. The inbuilt elements of change in that show do of course mean not every fan will like every era, and some of us as well guilty of a hate watch period, though I like to think of myself as keeping watching in hope that the bad period...- Edward

Simon James Cathcart/Cathcart London Problems
The Shepperton stuff is really nice. I'm hoping they keep that jacket in their rotation long term. I love both it and the beltback jacket they do in the suiting line. Nice to have the variation. Either or both in the vaughn stripe cotton in brown and/or blue for A/W 2024 would be fantastic. I'd...- Edward

Simon James Cathcart/Cathcart London Problems
Nice. I'm on for a jazz jumper to. I adore the look of the college v neck as well, but the made in England pricetag was just too rich for my blood.- Edward

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Interesting - I've not seen the original. I did rather enjoy Living, though. Nighy was an excellent casting - and I think we can all be very glad Richard Curtis didn't get anywhere near it.- Edward

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Being brought up in a religious household, I well recall Chariots of Fire being very much celebrated. It still holds up well. Back in 2012., the film was adapted for the London West End stage as a 'play with music'. I saw it, and was pleasantly surprised at how good it was ("Musical of the...- Edward

Indiana Jones V
What I really want is a cinema all-dayer showing all five back to back (but starting with Temple, so screening in chronological order per the in-world timeline rather than release order...).- Edward

Indiana Jones V
I've bordered on fan-hate myself at times with various things, though not usually that far for that long. Years ago one of the big names in RHPS fandom wrote an essay on the Five Phases of Rocky Horror Fandom; Phase Five was very much burnout, love turns to hate. Peopel can go back and forth...- Edward

You know you are getting old when:
I never did care for the taste of coffee. Remove the caffeine, and what's the point? ;) I do like a good energy drink. Though I miss good old Jolt Cola. That disappeared from uk shelves about thirty years ago, I suspect it probably was banned!- Edward

Anyone else hating the hot weather
A couple of wet days this week and lower temperatures were very welcome. I rather foolishly went out to an all-day gig last week wearing an A3 cap instead of a full brim and no suncream. It was overcast all morning, but in the early mid afternoon the Sun came on strong.... my sunburn is just now...- Edward

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...- Edward

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...- Edward

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...
