About Me

My photo
No Fixed Abode, Home Counties, United Kingdom
I’m a 60-year-old Aspergic gardening CAD-Monkey. Sardonic, cynical and with the political leanings of a social reformer, I’m also a toy and model figure collector, particularly interested in the history of plastics and plastic toys. Other interests are history, current affairs, modern art, and architecture, gardening and natural history. I love plain chocolate, fireworks and trees, but I don’t hug them, I do hug kittens. I hate ignorance, when it can be avoided, so I hate the 'educational' establishment and pity the millions they’ve failed with teaching-to-test and rote 'learning' and I hate the short-sighted stupidity of the entire ruling/industrial elite, with their planet destroying fascism and added “buy-one-get-one-free”. Likewise, I also have no time for fools and little time for the false crap we're all supposed to pretend we haven't noticed, or the games we're supposed to play. I will 'bite the hand that feeds', to remind it why it feeds.

S is for Stop The Presses!

Damn, missed it by a day!  Not quite the 'waiting for a bus then three turn-up' analogy, but that 'lassie' post has been in Picasa for a couple of three months, and been on the desktop for several weeks, so publishing it yesterday when the parcel containing this was waiting at home for me is somewhat ironic, but there you are!

Chris Smith has sent the Blog a fantastic parcel with all sorts of lovely things in it, but right on top, almost the first thing I noticed (after a bag-full of Dunkin soldiers!) was this chap (or chap'ess!), and - compared to any of yesterday's HK's - what a peach! It's in a dense PVC, similar to the output of either Joal or Prior, but is not marked and I don't know it from either range, but there you go - turning-up late to a party was always slightly fashionable!

And it's a lovely sculpt, on or 'after' the Timpo original (?) - Cheers Chris!
