About Me

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.

4th is for 'Of July'

In the same way the 6th is for 'June the' or the 25th is for Little Baby Jesus day! From time to time I have mentioned in passing such luminary events as the Dunkirk evacuation or Trafalgar day, and it's about time we mentioned a certain monumental waste of tea . . . I wonder if the harbour tasted of tea for the next few days?

Brain B sent this to the Blog within the last couple of hours . . .

I won't wish you a happy 4th July as it can't have escaped your notice the whole world is going to hell in a handcart at the moment, but have the best 4th July you can - given the circumstance and may you never have a worse one!

No, I don't know how he got them all to stand up, tiny pieces of Blue-Tac or a very steady hand!

Terra' - I thought it would be, you can usually see evidence of micro-blobs of Blue-Tac, however carefully hidden! A task of Sisyphus, nevertheless! Some of the group shots on this blog are the result of the shooting at the exact magic micro-second before one figure falls!

Peter - I'd rather not, but if it will save you from a fate worse than death, what else are friends for? Where is the offending doodle, which end should I grasp and how hard does it need to be yanked to prevent it repeating its nonsense!
