My XLink arrived on Friday, a short shopping trip later to buy some phone lines and a new DC Adapter that fits Australian power points and it is up and running. I have my Motorola Milestone paired to my with my North Electric Model 7H6 “Galion” and couldn't be happier. Currently its all in the...

I recently got myself a Classic Briefcase from Mitchell Leather. http://www.mitchell-leather.com/ They have pictures of my case in the examples section of their website. The interior which I really should take a photo of is black calfskin.

Since I don't have a landline I have never seen the need to own one of these magnificent vintage phones, whilst I love the style I am something of a minimalist I like to have things I actually use. The X-Link changes that since now I can use one. I found a site that had it listed for $68.32 and...

http://www.braithwaitewallets.com/wallets/7-raptured I've been carrying a 'Raptured' from Braithewaite wallets for nearly 2 years on a daily basis in my breast pocket mostly but also occasionally in the front pocket of my jeans. It still looks great and has held up very well to usage...

Unfortunately not, I went to the Hatters Cafe which is attached to the Hattery, you can buy your hat, walk through the archway and have lunch. However I do from time to time enjoy the Niagra Cafe in Gundagai which is still very much as it was when first built in the 1930's heres a shamelessly...

I'm really not a photo kind of guy, I tend to borrow cameras as needed I'll see what I can do. And the car whilst not a classic piece of vintage was my much loved and much missed 1993 Daihatsu Applause that was so fuel efficient I began to think that the fuel tank was some kind of bottomless...

I decided to drive up to Katoomba for a day trip and check out The Hattery while I was there (the shop front for hatsdirect) And about 5min after entering the town had another car run into me and write off my vehicle. But we are both insured and are now sorting it out, no point moping over it...

http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/opinion/wink-and-how-we-missed-it/story-e6frg71o-1225818175744 A fun little article from a few days ago. It did make me realise that I can't think of the last time I saw someone wink.

Television here is currently going through a switch over to an all digital signal with analogue based transmissions planned to end by 2013. Recently I was considering whether I really wanted to buy a new digital TV or a set top box to enable my old TV to keep going but in the end I went out and...

The little place I'm in now is fairly modern, the family homestead is 78 years old.

Does anyone know of the quality of Ascot Top Hats? They offer a Cambridge Bowler as a special order. https://ascot-tophats.secure-connect.com/catalog/traditional.php

Given that their website seems pretty much orientented towards wholesale and they direct you to another store for online sales I don't hold out any great hope that Christy's will make a single special order hat. However I think I'll send an email off to all three companies and see if anyone...

I think these are a really nice looking style of hats, but given that bowlers themselves are hard enough to find these days are there any manufacturers making new Cambridge Bowlers for sale today? Or is vintage my best shot? My size is 7 1/2 which I have learnt in the short time I've been...

Am I the only one who thinks calling the year 'Twenty Ten' sounds wrong? After ten years of saying the entire numeral I've goten used to it and have been calling it 'Two Thousand and Ten' and am now already frustrated by the number of people who try and correct me about it and say its to long to...

I grew up on a farm in the Southern Tablelands (so not exactly the back of beyond I guess), my Grandfather on Mum's side and my Dad are both lifelong sheep and cattle farmers who wear Snowy River's and so do a lot of other people in my home district. Dad's Father didn't he was more of a straw...
