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.

A is for An Angelic Angel


This came in from Brian B the other day, it's sweet, Christmassy and I know nothing about it other than A) it looks like it's from a set of LRG's (Little Rubber Girls - hummmm . . . I think they may have a NSFW website!) or some kind of 'Blind Bag' thing and B) it appears to have been made by an S Sun [& Sons/Bros./Co./Inc./Limited/ Manufactory/Plastics/Products?] of China.

She's made from a lovely rich gold material which looks - from the swirls on the underside - to be PVC or a similar soft rubbery polymer. With her T-shirt and sneakers and recognisably Manga features she's modern, I guess she may be as well known to some, as my little running girl and mushroom community turned-out to be, the other month? She has a halo too, so some religious connection in her history; or from a set with little devils as well?

She has a protector, and while he may be aiming over her head, he is a bit to warlike for the 25th which - along with last week's connectivity issues - kept them off the page then! But still; Angels at Chrimbo - check!

Can anyone add anything for Brian?
