I'm not a great fan of the Shark Super Stainless blades but you may find they work for you just fine. I do like the Shark Super Chrome blades however. Your best bet is ordering double edge blades online, especially from ebay. I'd particularly recommend the USA-made Personna blades that come in...

Dinu Lipatti playing Edvard Grieg's Piano Concerto No.1. The tragically short life of Romanian Lipatti nevertheless gave us perhaps the very finest pianist that ever walked God's Earth, though undoubtedly many will disagree. His playing, at the very least, is utterly magnificent...

Aye, very nice boots! You can't beat a pair of brogues - every fella and indeed, lady, should have at least one pair be they boots or shoes.

Last of the Summer Wine. Curlers, garters, wrinkly stockings and crafty old men!

The Ghost Train. And we come back round in a circle: it having been a play written by Arnold Ridley as you will know. I can only take so much of Arthur Askey and yes, the, "I thank you", is very funny when properly done in his manner. Another particular favourite of mine is Will Hay whom I...

Why thank you, kind sir! I am afraid I cannot help with dating yours though.....:(

Terry Thomas, that loveable rogue! Hope you get there and enjoy it, sir. My other favourite Formby sayings from the films and music are, "Haha, never touched me!" and, "Get away, get away!" There is, what is described on YouTube, a skit with George hamming it up as a tenor vs Giuseppe...

Currently roaming the high seas in Patrick O'Brian's The Reverse of the Medal. A truly fabulous series of books are his Aubrey/Maturin historical naval tales.

Haha, alas I am musically inept when comes to playing any instrument and singing. George may not have been the best of singers but I used to get told to stop singing at football matches, my voice being so bad! George couldn't half play that Uke, though - fastest right hand in the business, if...

Yes, I ogled both your pairs (of boots, boots man!) at great length. I especially enjoyed your Aero jacket and burgundy grain boot colour match combo. I've had several Aero's over the years and fantastic jackets they were. Don't know what it is but I no longer feel comfortable (mentally) in a...

And yesterday, it was more often than not like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCPst8ggKZU Good old George!

Change of tack, chaps. Sorry about that but this is a sample of what has been revolving around my turntable this morning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJRlqWMTl5o Incidentally, the photographs shown throughout the video are of the English Peak District. The same area of England where...

Here is a picture of the black Scotch grain Lennon's will be using to make the upper parts of my custom boots: Just dandy as far as I am concerned! Big smiles.

Many thanks, Tomasso. Pray tell, of whom is the photograph that is your avatar, kind sir. I should not like to meet him in any dark alley never mind the ring but perhaps the other Charles Bronson in his prime wouldn't have have much minded.

As soon as I saw that a member by the name of Mr. Godfrey had replied to this thread, my thoughts immediately went all Dad's Army. I thought it was just coincidence and would be most likely rather ill-advised of me to make comic comment so when I saw your location, I nearly spat out my tea! If...
