Where does the time go? This site just passed another milestone at the beginning of this week with its 200,000th visit! Flabbergasting is the word.
To celebrate, here is Alain Delon sporting one of my favourite fedoras in action in Le Samourai - and thanks so very much for all the support.


Wow! That is a very impressive figure, although a richly deserved one. My heartiest congratulations Sergio.
I think half of them are from you – so thanks very much Colin!
:)
You’re giving me too much credit – maybe a quarter!
You gotta have friends!
Well done Sergio.
Molte grazie Jose Ignacio!
Congratulations and well done, Sergio! And well-deserved. I know I never miss a post if I can avoid it. And I do love that dapper fedora! What a great look.
You are a truly steadfast correspondent Margot – and I am very grateful.
Congrats on reaching this milestone, Sergio!
Cheers TC, thanks for the support (and occasional goading).
Wow, that is a lot of visits, and it is due to your well-written posts with great content. Thus, very deserved. I know I will keep coming back for more.
Thanks so much for all the great comments TracyK – makes it all worthwhile.
Bravo, bravo! So heartening when good content gets read.
Cheers Ben – very kind of you.
Congratulations! I’m hoping to make 100,000 next month, which will be my sixteenth.
Cheers Curt – look forward to helping make your numbers come round even sooner than predicted!
Congrats, Sergio – well ahead of me! Well deserved, mate
Thanks Steve – wouldn’t be here without your example.
Way to go, Sergio, many congratulations! Over the past two years, I have learned much from your excellent blog, in terms of your choice of books and films as well as the way you go about reviewing them. My best wishes to you.
Thanks so much Prashant – you’re a mate!
Hi Sergio,
I would like to join in with the Congrats ! I am a little late, as usual, but when the Grandkids want to watch “Peppa Pig” on U- Tube – what can one do ?
I’m with you Rod – the kids always come first – thanks very much for the good wishes.
That’s quite a milestone. I enjoy your posts and have been reading them for about a year. Congratulations!
Thanks you Donna – very kind.
I bow down to your mighty blog. Impressively done over such a short time period. Was away this past weekend unplugged from most electronic gizmos while in the mountains of northern California. Otherwise, I would’ve give you a digital pat on the back much earlier.
Very mucch appreciated John – wouldn’t be worth it without the contribution of decent chaps like you – thanks, as always.
Hey congratulations Sergio. I’m a bit off 100k but might make it this year sometime.
I certainly look forward to celebrating your big birthday – bit of a monster really!
I’m late to this party, but I also wanted to join in with the congratulations, Sergio. The milestone is very well-deserved and I hope we’ll cross plenty more of them over the next few years!
Cheers mate – I see you are not too far way yourself – I trust there will be a Bond-like extravaganza to celebrate!?
Congratulations!
Thanks very much Ron – very kind of you.
Congratulations, Sergio. This is richly deserved. Here’s hoping you cross many more milestones like this.
Not without your help I won’t – thanks very much Neer,
