    Vintage kit anyone?

    Hello KL15, Nothing surprises me anymore, so I suspect this is probably true. Unloading asbestos, whilst employed as a docker at the SF or LA port, when relatively young, probably contributed to his death too. Generally, my preference is to wear the right style of clothes with my car...

    Vintage kit anyone?

    So you own a period car and you are looking to buy vintage race clothing like 40 or 50s style racing trousers, a boating jacket or even a period suit to get that, just right look. Two alternatives present themselves: 1. You hunt around for new “old style” items from companies like Chapal...

    The comfort of a fireplace

    Winter is almost upon us here in England and the weather is definitely getting worse. Time to light the fire, sit close by with a stiff drink and listen to the the sounds of snap, crackle and pop. Apologies for the quality of the image. Taken with my phone camera as the ixus is being tres...

    How to Ruin a Perfectly Good Suit

    Chavs and Irony Oh the delicious irony. Fat, chain smoking, drunken, horrible little oiks wearing tracksuits and other sports wear.

    The miracle of champagne.

    Is there any other drink that provides such instant pleasure which stays in one's memory for so long? Perfect as an aperitif before dinner or just as a "pick me up" when one feels miserable. This also encompasses good quality bubbly from America, South Africa and Australia. Perfect for...

    Hello...

    A warm welcome from a relative newcomer. Like the avatar. Shame about Tim's early journey to that great racing circut in the sky.

    Those heavy duty bullet stopping woolley overcoats of yesteryear!! (pics)

    Not too dissimilar to some of the Barbour catalogues I have seen. Always useful for that old favourite: spot the mistake. So far I have managed to find guns carried in slips stock down, models with fingers on triggers or ambiguous handling images. The problem I think is that the world of...

    What Is A "Dinner Jacket?"

    Evening JiC, BOHO = Bohemian. Plimsolls = Training shoes. Think Dunlop Green Flash style before PIKE et al laid their corporate hands on them. Chav/Chavette = People of all ages who feel it necessary to dress appallingly in fake designer gear, wear cheap fake gold jewellery and behave in...

    Pedantry Dear Micawber, Hope you are enjoying the season. Soon it will be February and it will be back to pidgeon shooting again. This may be very pedantic but: Originally Posted by FreddieVonRost From a my cultural perspective I would reply that walking people into guns almost...

    I suppose: "walked up" or "shooting over pointers" does not quite have the same ring to it as: stalking.

    What Is A "Dinner Jacket?"

    Hello HP, Typical seller tactics really. There is a great demand - usually phrased as BOHO fashion - for these jackets/coats/gowns. A lot of idiots will buy these as they think it makes an amusing and witty addition to their wardrobe. Any desperate measure to tart up their torn jeans or their...

    What Is A "Dinner Jacket?"

    At the risk of pedantry I think you will find that George III was actually on the throne during the American War of Independence. 1775 to 1783. George V was born in 1865, ascended to the throne in 1910 and died in 1936. The reason the USA is not a part of the Commonwealth is that the...

    Spitfire there are a number of anomilies in your post. 1. The second shot was accurate otherwise the dragoon would have lived to tell the tale. 2. The first shot would most probably lopped off the Austrian officer's horse's ear as it would have been at a fast canter or gallop. Depending on...

    Dear carebear, Spaniels or pointers are only used for walked up. Driven shoots rely on beaters. In England these are formal shoots, hunts refer to the glory that is fox hunting. Glad it went off reasonably well. Quite like my body in a healthy state. These matters are always a...
