Japanese Suit innovation
That's not the shalwar kameez I know. The shalwar traditionally goes approximately to the knees. Also, while the trousers are at least hemmed to the proper length - trousers cut to expose the ankles is in fact a sunnah or tradition of Prophet Muhammed, peace be upon him, that enlightened Mughal...- Joe G

Actually, I did not write the quoted text. I must say, the astute observer would have realised that immediately, simply because I know how to spell "Palestine". Still, though I would not have expressed that sentiment so fumblingly, I cannot say I disagree with it one bit. The numbers...- Joe G

I do not recall ever posting at Andy's site, though perhaps I did at one point and simply cannot recall it. At any rate, the search function there seems defective so I cannot say if one or either of those people using my name is me. As for why I so rarely post, the truth is I've more or less...- Joe G

HELP ME!
The problem is unlearning bad habits from the kludge the typical new Mac person previously used. As Brian mentioned, burning a CD from a Mac is incredibly easy, and can be done iTunes, from iPhoto, from iMovie, or directly from the Finder. However, for everything except music CDs, I prefer...- Joe G

PDAs, again
Since then, I've ceased using a Palm, having replaced my cell and PDA with a BlackBerry 7100. Mobile e-mail became a necessity for me, and the Treo did not suit me as well. The only thing I don't like about the BlackBerry is that Pocketmac cannot upload new software onto it. Still, it keeps...- Joe G

Sound system advice
Airport Express actually doesn't "connect" to the computer at all, which is to say that uses the wireless ("Airport") network. The Airtunes component of it takes the audio signal wirelessly, presuming of course one has an airport card in his computer, and transmits it either...- Joe G

Ludwig reiter shoes - opinions?
Simply outstanding. They are as comfortable as any shoes I've ever worn, and constructed at least as well as ready-to-wear Lobbs. At least as well. from at least as high quality materials. Since I bought the Mahlers bengal-stripe mentioned several years ago, I have added a couple more pair of...- Joe G

Kiton cashmere durability???
Kiton cashmere is extremely durable. I have a jacket that is 95% cashmere and 5% silk that looks perfect now that it's been worn extensively for three years or so. Another Kiton cashmere suit sees extensive wear in the winter, and after maybe 15 or 20 wearings it has yet to acquire any...- Joe G

Cars!
Nope. I'll not be in the market for such a car, now or ever, so driving one seems rather besides the point. For the quarter-million dollars a new Aston costs, one could build a mosque and a school in many countries, as well as paying the salaries of an imam and small staff of teachers for a...- Joe G

Tennis shoes
I have worn out my tennis shoes recently, and apparently Reebok no longer makes that particular model. I'm not going to have time to go shoe-shopping until midweek, so I was wondering if any of you gentlemen had recommendations for tennis shoes with great ankle support, good traction on clay...- Joe G

What's the fastest you have ever driven a car?
OK. I'm perfectly willing to buy into your self-identification as a reckless, dangerous punk. But that changes neither that you have some trouble with facts, nor that the skill of reading comprehension has proven somewhat elusive to you. However, the skill of backpedalling seems to be decently...- Joe G

What's the fastest you have ever driven a car?
Riiight. I've never ever seen traffic move at 40mph in the City, or even close to that velocity. And a driver who drives as you describe in the UK would be summarily imprisoned, no matter how much money he made. Especially were he not lily white..... And if you'd ever been to Bangladesh, you...- Joe G

Cars!
Oh, and my top five lists: Today 1) Lotus Elise: the only proper sports car sold today, excepting some British specials (Atom, et. al.) that are only borderline as cars but packed with sport. 2) Audi TT VR6: that body, that interior, and finally a V6 to motivate it. Who cares if it's a Golf...- Joe G

Cars!
Indeed. On that note, see how the headlight bezel of the Series 1 E-Type (if it's got covered headlamps, it's an S-1) picture you posted is bevelled, just as the bezel featured on the album cover is. While I could not quickly Google a picture providing conclusive proof or disproof, from memory I...- Joe G

My ugly mug
I've worn glasses for most of my life, and by far the most comfortable frames I've yet found are the hingeless Silhouettes, even if their cases set new standards for cheapness and nastiness of materials. (That said, their basic case design is quite good...) While they started out just making...- Joe G

Cars!
Seeing the two album covers convinces me that is a Mk. I E-type. An XKSS (i.e., a roadgoing D-Type racecar) had a shorter, steeper front fascia, like so: It is definitely not a Porsche; follow the lines shown to their logical conclusion and you will note an impossibly long bonnet, such as one...- Joe G

Black t-shirts
Count me as another who really likes the Gap's t-shirts, though I can't say I've ever bought a black cotton T from anyone. (Outside of formalwear I have very little black at all in my wardrobe.) I don't know if they're available in your area, but a month or so ago I found an outlet that was...- Joe G

Sneakers
Has anyone else tried the John Varvatos Converse trainers? In real life the burgundy is a good 30% darker than in this picture, and of course with moisture they darken further. My wife bought me a pair of these, and I've worn them more than I thought I would. Admittedly, much of that use comes...- Joe G

Shoe refurbishing
The last Jaguar I would ever consider owning, is the 1987 XJ-6. My father for the longest time ran only Jaguars, and Land Rovers or Land Crusiers on the land. When the XJ40 came out, he had to reconsider, because the car was truly a disgrace. He had it sent back and replaced with a Daimler...- Joe G

Cars!
I've never sat in a BMW 8-series or known anyone who spoke of one, but it's on my list of the most attractive cars of its day, along with the Mercedes 500SL that was released at about the same time. Long, sleek, elegant, echoing the M1 in the nose, they still turn my head. I do know from a...- Joe G
