Just a sample for your listening pleasure

Spanish City rides that maybe didn't make it

From The Times, Saturday July 26th, 1913 (click the image to enlarge)....The Rainbow Wheel sounds like fun, wonder whether it ever made it through the courts?

Following the success of Ma's birthday present....

The Sheik seemed to go down well, so here are the dulcet tones of Rudolf Valentino crooning "Kashmiri Song" (with a rousing introduction).....maybe he should have stayed mysteriously silent!

Retro (patented!) eyecandy


A wonderful selection of "didn't quite cut the mustard" US patent illustrations from the 20's, 30's, 40's and 50's can be viewed at The Patent Room. The categories are Architecture, Cars, Toys, Trains and Uncut, so something for everybody really. Actually, I was looking for this link a few nights ago when I posted on roadside architecture.....but it's taken until now to find it!

An answer to the smoking ban?























Put the two together, add a woolly jumper/some stout thermal knickers (double gusset preferred), possibly a pair of wellies.....and it might just work!!!
