one of the platinum group metals

It's in the iron column: iron, ruthenium, osmium, so I'd expect it to be chemically rather like iron

The platinum column is two further along: nickel, palladium, platinum

(set myself a little exercise of learning them all, but am a little hazy about the actinides and the mysterious new ones in the very bottom row)

EDIT: it seems "platinum group" is rows 2 and 3 of the iron column to the cobalt column, thus ruthenium, rhodium, and palladium in the 2nd row then osmium, iridium and platinum itself in the 3rd row. Top row metals iron, nickel and cobalt above them don't qualify. It seems to be corrosion resistant unlike iron. My A level recollection of the behaviour down the columns was a bit too superficial

A belt made of puppies would be awesome 🤩

Drago is very much a doggy person, ......I 'll leave you to his tender mercies, as to how far his wrath will take him.

I've just ordered the elephant grey one. 🧐

It arrived yesterday. This one came in a zip up bag, unlike the black one which came in a hat box.

I didn't wear it with that shirt and in fact the suit as they don't go. Maybe the suit but definitely not the shirt. I just took the photo to show you the hat on my bonce. It fits well, but maybe just slightly bigger then the black one I bought. I'm glad I didn't buy the 61 centimeter as that would've been far too big.

It certainly has a high crown! With it being slightly loose on the head it might take off on a windy day, but like the black one it comes with a lapel button and cord to connect the hat to whichever jacket I'm wearing, so even if it blows off my head it won't embarrassingly blow down the road, with me chasing after it!! 🧐

It's a Viyella tattersall shirt, usually costing about 100 quid. A very lucky find in a charity shop, as it was unworn in it's package and cost a mere £4.50, fitting me, especially my long arms perfectly!

I think mine’s a slightly different colour. Although mine wasn’t as cheap either I did find a code that got me 3 shirts for £45.

I've just read that Lynx Africa is to be discontinued.

What gentlemanly scent could ever take its place...

Has your, 'friendly neighbour,' nudge nudge wink wink, had a look at it?

Has your, 'friendly neighbour,' nudge nudge wink wink, had a look at it?

She has. And the hat.

 

[stephec]

She has. And the hat.

I bet she's fingered his brim.

 

[Drago]

I bet she's fingered his brim.

I expect she's longingly put her hands on his crown and felt the pinch.

She might have felt his lining too, although id expect they'd need to be very good friends to be that familiar prior to afternoon tea.

I used the cord today on the hat's maiden voyage! It's quite fiddly, so in the powerful wind we had, it was very hard to unfasten it to button onto my jacket, so I nipped into a shop asking if it was ok to do the task in there. They said yes, so I fastened the button through my lapel's button hole. The hat didn't blow off, but at times it felt like it was going to, with me out of habit immediately grabbing the brim, not being used to relying on the cord to save the hat from take off!! 🧐

 

[Drago]

Surprised your friendly neighbour didn't grab your "brim" for you.
