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.

News, Views Etc...

I love a single issue website that really nails the subject and here for fans of rub-down pictures is a brilliant site for the old Lettraset ranges...

Used to love these when we were kids...I have an unused Star Wars one some where, which came in a mixed lot of crud from an auction!

That was a great trip down memory lane. As a kid in the seventies I used to love doing these transfers :)

Hi Red C, it's funny, I've been watching them on feeBay recently, and you can quickly build a collection, but...the ones that weren't desirable back in the day can be picked-up for 99p or a couple of quid buy-it-now, but the ones we wanted then get bid-up to 15 or 20 quid every time!
