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.

News, Views Etc . . . Mighty Rome in Miniature

Bit of a Brucey-bonus; I'm supposed to be doing about five other things I said I'd get done in the last-few/next-few days, but I wanted to get this off the desktop . . .

Baravelli Italy; Baravelli Like Giant; Baravelli Plastic Romans; Baravelli Romans; Baravelli Toy Soldiers; Britains Trojans; Giant Like; Hong Kong Romans; Horse Mexican Large; Italian Toys; Made in Hong Kong; Marx Romans; Mexican Large Horse; Plastic Roman Soldiers; Plastic Toy Figures; Plastic Toy Soldiers; Roman Cavalry; Romani a Cavallo; Romani A Piedo; Romans On Foot; Small Scale World; smallscaleworld.blogspot.com;
. . . an update to the Hong Kong small-scale Romans page, with Baravelli's foot and mounted Giant sub-piracies added at the bottom of the main section. I will try to sort out those last bits as well; still needs text and the Britains full-sized sculpts, which I Blogged a while ago, should have done it then . . .Doh!
