Thanks for the photo as I have a pair of leggings for work to keep grass seeds and sawdust out of my boots when I'm using a chainsaw. They work really well; just the info. I was looking for.

I'm interested in Mama Bear hard soaps but it seems they don't ship to Australia. Presently I'm using Trumpers cocoanut soap very good indeed. Trumpers has a great reputation. I started double edge shaving with a Merkur Futur and am now shaving with a Feather Artist Club straight razor which...

I have a pair of these boots. http://www.courteneyboot.com/ccselous.htm Very comfortable and have a strong African feel about them.

I'm surprised no one has voted for homemade chocolate fudge, I like it with walnuts. Also another great candy I like is Pecan pralines.

Have any of you seen the TV series "Bush Tucker Man" with the man who made the hat famous in Australia, Les Hiddens? A good outback show. I've never seen anyone wear one of these hats in person, but I didn't think it looked bad on Les.

It looks a bit like the "Gus" cowboy hat. It certainly attracts your attention.

I have owned a few electrics and I'd never go back to them. Irritation, soreness, I don't need.

Indy Bill wrote I did find someone selling "Derby Extra" safety blades in a lot of 100, but it's not 'buy it now'. Has anyone here ever used them? I use them and there very good. Presently I use a Merkur "Futur" with Feather DE blades, the best blade I have ever tried. I have a Vulfix...

What was it that Daniel Dravot said? "Him there with the five and a half hat size has the makings of a bloody hero." Me, I'm a 7 1/2, and the above was the first good thing I've read about having a big head.

Who could ever do it like Richard Boone performed it? One of my favourites from that era.

I guess I'm a early riser, I have my black coffee at 6:15 am. I like an Italian roast or Kenyan which I grind just before I add hot water off the boil. I make this in a small stainless steel jug and then strain it into my cup.

Re Baby Face Recently saw it on cable here, excellent film, never saw anthing like it before of this vintage. Stanwyck was great.

I remember Vera Lynn and her song stands alone as the most popular song during WW2. My mum and dad were married during WW2 and there favourite song was Harbour Lights. I believe she tours sometimes in Australia. I meant most popular in Commonwealth countries.

Bought a bottle of Ardbeg today on BT's reccomendation, superb!

Breaker Morant and White Mischief were very good.
