    "Sherlock" BBC series.

    Could turn out funnier than the novels (all right, I only read the second one), which tried to parody the genre, but were simply ridiculous.

    Shirt collars over lapels?

    Considered to be a bit prole by some. Not by the Duke of Windsor probably.
  3. Shaul-Ike Cohen

    "Sherlock" BBC series.

    Good news, and not unexpected. What did I want to add the other day? ***minor spoilers*** Moriarty: the idea of a baby face is acceptable, but the actor just doesn't convince me. Also, that something was wrong with him when he turned up first was a bit too obvious. Mycroft: fine with...

    "Sherlock" BBC series.

    You didn't miss anything.

    "Sherlock" BBC series.

    We two felt the same. Well, maybe without the asterisk. (I'm still not really here.)
  6. Shaul-Ike Cohen

    "Sherlock" BBC series.

    Liked it quite a lot, and I hope they'll do more. Some things were just too much, but I expected that when I saw "Mark Gatiss" in the opening titles. Good thing. Interestingly, the music was more early 1970s than either 1895 or 2010. I'd rather not take part in the discussion about who's...

    Fabrics

    You haven't (yet) revealed what kind of fabric you're looking for, but fabrics are at least as much a problem as are tailors. The usual fabric store where one lives won't do even distantly.

    How to pronounce "Django" Reinhardt's moniker?

    Yes. There's some considerable space for variation, but this is about how the most typical French pronunciation can be transcribed to an American. Step by step: Dj - this can be anything from DZH and DY to ZH or Y. All would be authentic. (This is because French doesn't have all of these...

    One espresso, please, and a cup of tea for my wife!

    The Miracle of Absinthe

    Pastis has - in fact French laws ask for a minimum of glycyrrhizin, which gives the liquorice flavour. Not sure about the other ersatz absinthes such as anisette or ouzo.

    Ascots

    Is he still living on pocket money? He might want to replace the button that fell off.

    Military Hair Brushes

    Google archives of www.kentbrushes.com/advice_faq.asp: How do I clean my brush/comb? Regularly remove loose hair from the tufts by inserting a Kent hair brush cleaner (LPC2) or a comb at the side of the brush, and lift the old hair away. Be careful not to scrape the cleaner back and forth...

    Anything you want in Italy?

    Thanks. Next time in there, I'll ask you for details.

    Outgoing Message for Voice Mail

    Long messages tend to be annoying to callers who call more often, even if the message is neutral or funny, and certainly when it just tries to be funny -think Costanza. You can spot callers to such numbers from a distance; they tend to make circular movements with their hands. (Otherwise...

    Anything you want in Italy?

    Milan isn't exactly unkown for men's clothing, of course - is it a good place for vintage clothing as well? (Where vintage = anteguerra, not 1980s.)

    Oh, reminds me: do you happen to know if the VaW films are finally available on DVD?

    Matt Deckard Apparel

    Shirt: Is the collar band so high, or is it the picture?

    Am I wearing a Nazi suit?

    This may be the third time I mention it, but really, Karl Kraus was talking about the First World War.
