That seems a rather sweeping statement!

Bruce Springsteen remarked some years ago about television is "57 channels and nothing on". It hasn't changed one lick since Newton Minow's time (a "vast wasteland"). If anything, it's gotten worse. At the risk of going off at a tangent, I'd say that's because you haven't got a ...

... I accept they are a small company and I wish them success, but you pay for the "Unisex" label which is not very visible to the man in the street, but can be everything inside your brain and the story you tell close family and friends. I go along with much of what you say, Mouse (and I...

Well, I have several Skirtcraft skirts and have been wearing them almost every day throughout this summer. They are well made and comfortable.

Blow me -- while I was typing the foregoing on my phone, an invitation to get the latest edition of the Covid and 'flu vaccines popped up on the screen. So now I'm booked in. I hope it will at least stop the tinnitus getting worse.

I've had high-frequency tinnitus for a few years -- it's like old- fashioned television line-whistle (625-line variety). I suspect it may be another consequence of Covid, which I've had twice despite having received every edition of the vaccine. My audiologist says I should wear my hearing aids more...

If this is a kilt, I salute the wearer for his boldness

Good gracious! Are British Thermal Units still in circulation in Murica?? In their homeland, you have to be very ancient (like me) even to have heard of them.

So there I was, just shutting the front door before wandering down to the shop to pick up our morning paper, when I noticed a youngish man striding along the pavement outside and looking at me. No doubt he'd spotted my skirt (one of Skirtcraft's finest)... but before I'd had time to collect my thoug...

Please elaborate for the uninitiated, the process involved in actually sacrificing a Virgin Haggis ? I assume you'll have to go a good way North of Aberdeen to secure the raw material for this, I take it you're alluding to the epitaph which runs thus: Here lie the bones of Elizabeth Charlotte, Born...

What's the skirt, Victor? It looks rather stylish

I first noticed it from a train between Cologne and Hanover, many years ago -- it's very striking. But I've never had an opportunity to go there for a ride on it

For anyone who may be interested -- skirtcraft.com is running a 15%-off promotion on all its skirts until the end of May. My first skirt was one of theirs -- it was originatly a crowd- funding project -- and I have bought others since. The quality and fit are really good and Joe's service is excelle...

The seamstress for the group even started making him something called a "drindel" ("drindle"?) which is what girls wore in that era, apparently. And in the present era too, at least in the mountain villages. It's a Dirndl , traditional costume for the fair sex in Austria. But yo...
