About

I'm Lyall, a generation Y health professional who enjoys using apparatus for capturing moving images from time to time.

Conversations, wine, coffee and socks are nice too.

For the most part this tumblelog isn't a beacon of erudition however occasionally I post serious entries about healthcare and the image of nursing.

I have a surprising number of fashion and chaps related posts.

I run Space Rules, contribute to We Come From A Sunburnt Country a tumblr about Australia and a tumblr dedicated to gastronomic atrocities of the past called Aspic And Other Delights .

Currently living in Port Hedland and working in South Hedland, Western Australia at the regional hospital.

Ask a question.

my-ear-trumpet: The Chap: Am I A Chap? by Gustav Temple is published by Beautiful Books. This comprehensive tome seeks to classify every species and sub-species of the English gentleman that one may observe throughout the seasons, from the flamboyant young fop the crusty old duffer. Looking at the origins of the “Chap” genus, in figures such as Edward VII and Ian Carmichael, and their caddish counterparts such as Terry-Thomas and Bunny Roger, the book takes us up to the present day with comtemporary types such as the Bohemian Chap and the Hip Chap. I asked my parents for this as my birthday present.

Mr B - The Gentleman Ryhmer answers Need 4 Tweed's - Five of the Best.

  • Mr B. took some time out from his busy schedule of musical doings, to drop some chappy street knowledge to the Need 4 Tweed followers.
  • Mr B. these are your '' Five of the Best'',
  • Need 4 Tweed: Best choice of Gentlemen's Head-wear?
  • Mr B : I myself rather enjoy a good Homburg. That said, horses for courses and all that, if I'm in the country or at the coast I may go for a felt or wool ascot cap.
  • Need 4 Tweed: Best variety of Tea?
  • Mr B: I do like a lapsang suchong or the occasional russian caravan. Most refreshing.
  • Need 4 Tweed: Best celluloid film for an aspiring chap to watch?
  • Mr B: Hancock's The Rebel is rather a wonderful talkie. All human life is therein. I am just about to sit down to Attenborough's 'Oh, What A Lovely War' though. Another fine example of how Britih cinema used to be. That and 'Pimp' with Daniel Dyer.
  • (That is a joke).
  • Need 4 Tweed: Best daily/weekly/monthly publication to digest?
  • The Chap of course...the New Sheridan Club newsletter. That's alla chap needs to digest really.
  • Need 4 Tweed: Best West-Coast gangster rap artist from the period of 1990-95?
  • Mr. B: More of an east coast chap myself. I enjoy the work of my old chum Cube, but I have to say there is no gangsta quite as amusing as Tim Dog. We used to smoke the odd hookah and chuckle heartily to 'The Dog's Gonna Gethca' and, of course 'ecret Fantasies'. The funniest ever hip-hop ballad. Even More anusing than Cool J's 'I Need Love'.

[They went to some trouble—this is a good set of examples.]

I carry a notepad with me when I work as an agency Registered Nurse. I work on a different ward or hospital everyday so I write the names of new specialist medications or unfamiliar procedures I encounter in my notepad.
