    The morning after...Ow... my eyes...Hangover help.

    Hi Ms. McGraw I was told about a similar cure some 20 years ago by Canadian ice hockey players who came over to Belgium for a season. The did add a raw egg to it, though... I only tried it once and became so sick of feeling the raw egg slide through that I forgot all about my headache :D...

    1930's vintage Ad - backlit wooden boxframe

    Some extra pictures By popular request* Two extra pictures, still taken with my cheap digital camera and not under ideal lighting... Frontal view. Opened box. Note the blemishes in the red rectangle... As you can see the image is a bit blistered from ageing. I'm in two...

    What do the Men of the Lounge want for Valentine's Day?

    Well, a voucher "For turning a blind eye when the next Ebay item(s) pour in" would be nice lol On a more serious note; the feeling that you share mutual love and respect are very hard to express in gifts I think. So I believe more in the small token variety of gifts, rather than expensive...

    1930's vintage Ad - backlit wooden boxframe

    I'm glad you ladies like the item too. I will post bigger and better pictures on saturday. Vintage Betty: the set was broken in the shop, before I bought mine (still, such a shame really). I bought it off ebay but went and met the sellers, an older couple. The wife's mother passed away...

    1930's vintage Ad - backlit wooden boxframe

    Hello all, I'd like to share my most recent acquisition with you. It is an advertissement display that was one of a set of four in a shop in Antwerp, Belgium back in the 1930's. It is in fact a kind of wooden box (think of a cross between a small stereo speaker and a cigar humidor) with...

    Live Theatre - Lounger's Appearances and Stories

    I always thought Noise Off would be nearly impossible to stage in a theatre, especially the part in the movie where they are behind the scene and have the chases. I would love to see it performed live though. On the fairy guy's pain, I had the opposite playing Tournel. The suggestions between...

    Is out-of-lip-sync driving you MAD?

    Well; it isn't here in Belgium. We always get the original soundtrack with subtitles. Twenty years ago even subtitles in French and Flemish. In the Netherlands they use subtitles as well, though the French and the Germans have most films dubbed. Cheers, Peter Edit: Ahem, just saw your...

    Live Theatre - Lounger's Appearances and Stories

    You just have to love the elderly folks... The group I belong to have opened their productions in the last 25 years with a free matinee for the elderly people in homes nearby. This is actually a very good extra dress rehearsal for the actors. And the old folks got a nice day out with free...

    Dating etiquette

    Number one dating etiquette mistake of mine: There was this girl I really liked, and after getting to see more of her really got a crush on. We went out for a drink together quite regularly, always had great conversations about anything from style to philosophy etc. Anyway, somewhere along...

    Is out-of-lip-sync driving you MAD?

    Not really related to HDTV, but I thought I'd share this one. Two years ago I was in Wrocław, Poland to assist with the start-up of new production plant for my company. Anyway, at night in my hotel room, I checked the TV to see if I couldn't catch a movie. There was a movie on; about three...

    The Great Beer Thread

    Watch out with them though; you don't want to end up having to write letters like this one: Dear Abbey, My wife threatened to leave me if I keep ordering Trappist beers over the Internet. So I'm in two minds now... Should I order Westmalle or Leffe next? ;) Cheers, Peter

    My lucky day...

    Forgot about that one, Lee... [huh] However, I did meet up with two lady friends at the local House of Negotiable Affection. I had lost contact with them for over three years and they were extremely happy to see me (so was I, but I told them it was a gun in my pocket lol ). I used to work...

    My lucky day...

    They're in excellent condition, wouldn't be able to tell they were ever worn... The black one did gather some dust on the top though, I'm going to take both of them to a good old-fashioned hat shop close to home for professional cleaning (I also need the size adjusted from 56 to 57 cm). I've...

    My lucky day...

    Posted I have tried to make pictures, but I'll have to use a better camera I'm afraid. The ones of the hats are completely rubbish, but I have posted the less horrible ones of the cameras: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?t=21225 I'll try to get decent pictures as soon as...
