I'd like to give a shoutout to Helen Hayes , the first lady of the American theater, who made her Broadway debut 100 years ago today. At age 9, Hayes played the Little Mime in Old Dutch , a two-act musical farce from Victor Herbert set in the Hotel Schoenwald in the Tyrol. It opened at the Herald Square Theatre, at Broadway and 35th Street, and ran for a total of 89 performances, closing on Feb. 5,...

Mr Elton neither knows nor cares about any of this. He is just a creature of fashion who has made a lot of money by telling modish jokes to people like him, who think their opinions are terrifically advanced, nonconformist and clever. In fact these opinions are as nonconformist as jeans and trainers. They have got them off the television, from their teachers and their rock-star heroes. They have never...

This post is from something I wrote several years ago after a particularly amusing teatime at our house. It would have been, probably, some time in the fall or winter of 1998 (going by the age and gender of the baby in this story). I wrote it to encourage a group of friends, because I thought our foibles might help them relax a little. I thought it deserved a repeat. Enjoy. Dear ladies, I want to share...

What makes outwardly successful people resort to flogging gas and electric I wonder? This was dropped off again this week, the 3rd such time I have been offered a quote, and the 3rd time I had to say that I am already getting cheaper gas and electric off one of the big boys. Some years ago there were Tupperware parties, Avon girls, ding dong Avon calling comes to mind! These days there seems to be...

I did a little more work on the EV project today, and can confirm that the controller seems to be the source of the short. The motor works fine, tested by the inadvisable method of connecting jump leads to the battery and straight to the motor by passing the control circuit. Don't try this at home - fried motor is a distinct possibility , as are broken legs if the car is in gear. But hey, if you're...

Do you know what's in your freezer and store cupboards? Could you dine in style for a week without shopping? A month? Egullet is challenging its readers to spend a week without shopping , but could you live on the contents of your freezer and store cupboards? As I tuck into another mystery curry hauled from the icy depths, I don't know whether I am up to this challenge. Like an ungracious teenager,...

A dining room chair has been pulled up to the worktop to allow little arms to reach cupboards that would be otherwise be impossibly high. Most poignantly,...
