Still need help with song quote Many thanks to Tom but I am looking for the quote in the body of a song rather than spoken beforehand Once again the quote is: "Ashes to ashes and dust to dust, if the women don't get you the liquor must" If anyone can help...

Help Please - Anyone know where this song lyric is from? I can find variations of this song lyric but not this one specifically. Can anyone help me find the song/artist it's from? Ashes to ashes and dust to dust, If the women don't get you, the liquor must. Any ideas gratefully received.

Errol Flynn because he used to hula dance naked in front of the window for the girls at the factory gates opposite. He wouldn't have dared without his pencil moustache.

Good old Yorkshire Tea on a wet day, nothing beats it. Lady Grey on a warm day, refereshing and light, just lovely.

'The Male Animal' sounds really interesting. Thanks Lizzie. Just the type of recommendation I was hoping for. I'll hunt a copy down.

I have a pair of old alligator skin boots, USA made, that look great and wear very well. Bought them second hand for about $300 a few years ago but haven't seen a new pair that I could ever afford.

I don't know how you guys using Mach 3's manage it. The head on that thing is so big I can't get round my nose. Any my nose ain't that big. This is a great thread, I'm gonna try lots of this old school advice.

I wear a CWC military watch as mentioned below and it's often admired. Looks great in all its simplicity and works like a dream.

Good idea. Thanks. Hadn't thought of that. Am looking for out of print stuff as well though but they may be able to help me out there too.

So many folk compliment my one vintage suit and want to know where I got it from. They think it's Saville Row finery rather than charity shop thrift. I got real lucky there though, a wonderful charity shop in Scotland, haven't seen another as fine that fits me since. If anyone can recommend...

I'm really interested in the stage plays of the 30's & 40's. Many of which were regularly made into movies, hence my posting this thread here. Does anyone know of any lesser known plays of this period? Or any companies that put them on? Anyone seen any productions? I'm thinking of the...

I just love the porterhouse. I am desperate to get back to New York just for the porterhouse. Oh that porterhouse! Did I mention I like the porterhouse? Oh why is the Atlantic so big?! Reminds me of the porterhouse...

I came across a pair of these on Camden Market, London. Have been looking for another pair since but no luck yet. They're a big favourite.

I have worn these in the past and found them very comfortable. They get used in a lot of period theatre shows and are a great finishing touch to a costume.
