    Frustrated! Addressing people by their title, and other 'old-fashioned' sayings

    Hi all I'm an infrequent poster, more of a lurker. I felt this would be the appropriate place to share my following frustration and to seek people's thoughts on this! Before you do, you can picture me as a 25yr guy, who was born about 6 decades later than I should have, living in the same...

    Young loungers

    Hello! Been lurking for a while and haven't posted until now. I live in a reasonably small capital city of Australia now (Adelaide, about 1 million people) and the nightlife here is pretty average. I would love to even have a small intimate jazz bar like the one posted above in Fort Worth...

    Trains and travel of the Art Deco Era.

    I was too young to have experience any 'glory days' of steam railroading locally here in Australia. However, I've always been fascinated and passionate about them, that I'm privileged to be able to experience them in all their tactile glory with some tourist railways here. Although I've been...

    Good Deeds: Done Any Lately?

    My father always taught me to help everyone, friends and random people on the street, something I'll always carry through. Today though, I leant a friend $1000 to try and cover rent at their place while they were moving. I trust I'll see it back eventually with a bottle of wine!

    Styles for Asian backgrounds

    Thanks folks for some of the responses! Widebrim - Yes should have been more specific, East Asian indeed, mainly on regions with western influences like Japan, Singapore and Vietnam. I am Vietnamese by descent, family coming from Saigon. avedwards - I'd greatly suspect an area like Hong Kong...

    What are your hobbies?

    My hobbies in general 1) Photography - Main one, have a modest collection of camera bodies and lenses (I'm a Canon user), surprisingly once you purchase the equipment, being digital, photography isn't a particularly expensive hobby over a period of time. 2) Flying and Aviation - I took up...

    Styles for Asian backgrounds

    Hi all I thought I'd come out of the shell and ask this query as I'm pretty new to adopting and collecting vintage styles of clothing, but it is very appealing and something I'd like to get into! I'm a young fella, of Asian descent living in Australia. I'd like to know if the vintage...

    AMUSU Theatre and Movie Poster Museum, Manildra, Australia

    Two Types. The poster museum actually does infact sell originals (Duplicates which were in the collection) which are how you describe, small upright posters. I indulged and bought some. If you'd like, I can PM you their contact details if this interests you!

    AMUSU Theatre and Movie Poster Museum, Manildra, Australia

    Hello all This is my first substantial posting on these forums. I'm not overly sure which forum this should belong in, whether it's here, The Steamer Trunk or The Motion Picture. Please forgive me and feel free to move accordingly! I spent all of 2011 studying, with little opportunities...

    Facebook in the Golden Era...

    Facebook was essentially a glorified address book for me, and as a cheap means of keeping track of the happening's in people's lives, like engagements, birthdays, and the like, also considering I now live far away from where most of my friends and family are. However, I'm becoming more and...

    Men who can cook.

    I enjoy cooking! While at university, living with many young folks who's idea of cooking is toasters and 2 minute noodles, seemed overly impressed with what I could do in the kitchen, so much so, one of them went and told the local newspaper about it. Next thing you know, a journalist and a...

    Young loungers

    Thought I'd add to this thread. I'm 24. Feels really good to finally find a place where there are other youths who also appreciate vintage styles and antiques and the like. Living in rural Australia (Or even the capital cities for the matter), it feels quite isolating when you're the only chap...

    The Streetcar/Trolley/Tram/Electric Railway Thread

    Steven, and all the other Aussies here I hail from Australia, and also have a strong interest in old streetcars, or as we call them here, trams. I've visited many Tram museums across Australia, however, the one particular streetcar which I have the most softest spot for is the American PCCs...

    Where did your user name come from??

    I have an interest in classic aircraft, all of which are the epitome of that era. The likes of planes like the DC-3, Lockheed Constellation, Piper Cub, Tiger Moth, Cessna 195, all are Propeller Planes! :)

    Hello all I've been lurking for a while, though since I have many things I'd like to contribute, I figured I better join up and introduce myself! Call me Props' for short if you like, however, my real name is Maikha. I come from Australia (A rural town called Wagga Wagga, NSW), and I'm a...
