One man’s mission to share with the world the fine art of cufflinks.
Each blog a different pair and each blog a different story. Read on in this series .....
Unfortunately your scribe has spent a far greater time in the Supreme Court than anticipated but there is light at the end of the tunnel. The Justice system has once again proven that it protects the innocent and it prosecutes the guilty. The way it should be.
All of this court room shenanigans has of course meant that your scribe has missed his pilgrimage to the Kentucky Derby in Louisville, Kentucky this year. An abominable state of affairs I know, but alas these things occasionally come along and rock the boat. This year of course saw record attendances and the race was won by an American thoroughbred called "I'll Have Another". This magnificent colt also won the Preakiness Stakes in New York giving I'll Have Another two wins of the "Triple Crown" races. A not so spectacular breeding history has stopped this colt from winning millions and he was bought at auction as a youngster for only $11,000, but not by me unfortuantely. The Derby is one of the greatest races for a horse to win and now I'll Have Another is in the history books. Here he is romping hom......
In front of a record crowd of 170,000 odd punters, the bookies had I'll Have Another starting at 15:1 odds. Not a bad investment for mine. Your scribe started on "Daddy Long Legs" at 30:1......never mind!!!!
We had Mohammad Ali as our Link Man of the Day some time ago as an Honourable Kentucky Colonel and all round great Link Man. Today we honour yet another famous Kentuckian of our times.....George Clooney. Anyone who has ever been Batman of course automatically confers Link Man Status but George with his humanitarian and charity efforts deserves the nod for today. Born in Louisville, the home of the Kentucky Derby simply nails this one for him. Arise George, you are our Link Man of the Day.
Today's Links were acquired during the Kentucky Derby festivities week a few years ago. They are generally worn with a Colonel's shoe string tie but on the week of the Derby they have to be worn with a Hermes silk neck tie with bridle motifs and a Savile Row pure cotton shirt.
