S is for Shite!
The Matchbox 'Heroic Rescue' vehicle Attack Track . . . 'cos you can heroically rescue loads of things with a tactical battlefield missile, loads of souls can be rescued by Beelzebub for a start!
It has the front-end/cab of a Soviet/Russian wheeled carrier, the tracks of a construction vehicle and a missile previously used by a Dong, as a nose! Jack Odell and the Smiths must be spinning in their graves . . . it's NOT Matchbox, it's Hong Kong shite! Poundland, one pound, now.
I like what´s written in the top left box Corner.
ReplyDelete"Guaranteed for life", and then under it, "Lifetime limited warranty"
I´m now trying to work out how that would possibly be. What exactly is guaranteed.? That it will always give fun? If it breaks then it doesn´t give fun so the lifetime guarantee is basically gone..but, aha!,,there´s the warranty to get it repaired but if that´s limited (must be on the back of the box in the usual tinsy winsy writing)how can the lifetime guarantee work ? :-P
It’s guaranteed to be shit for life...the [limited] lifetime limiting the lifetime of the guarantee! Clever – but shite!

I´m now thinking of having the two sentences tatooed on my butt*..at least then it would be true.
ReplyDeleteI really wish I had kept a japanese made flying saucer toy I once had. The instructions were a squeel. The spelling and grammar were sooo bad but at the same time made a weird sense, nothing to do with the actual toy but the worst Kind of "ooer missus" humour. Wether it was intended or not it was hilarious. I´m not 100% sure they got thrown out, they were that funny I´ve got a Feeling they have been kept. I´ll have to dig about and see if I can find them.
*Ok..maybe on a T-shirt.
You paid a Pound too much for that ...
ReplyDelete:-)
John . . . if I can successfully raise some tomato (or tomayto?) seedlings in the blister, I'll have had my monies-worth!
ReplyDeletePaul . . . a T-shirt won't get the 'likes' on the Facebook!

Two reasons it won´t get likes:
ReplyDelete1. The majority of FB users (users as a slight inference to the Junkie like nature of most of that platforms Population) wouldn´t have the IQ to work it out and;
2. I ain´t on FB :-)
I don't go there much anymore....our fate is sealed, I only hope the end comes after mine! I go on there once a month, repost a couple of pithy things from the other HW and retire quickly!
