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 . . . Bits and Bobs

I'll post something more substantial here later today, but a few things that might tempt you to surf the Wibbly Wobbly Way . . .

A week after his last announcement, Barney Brown has more news about his Herald Toys and Models site;

Dear Collector, this week we have launched an early Autumn Sale on many Britains, Herald and Farm related models, with BIG reductions on many items, so why not browse our comprehensive stock of plastics, click on our SPECIALS and "Get Them While They're Hot!" Happy Collecting as always, Barney.

There's stuff all the way to the bottom boss!

Yesterday - less than a day after ITLAPD - I bought four Pirates in Basingrad! Today a large, unexpected box arrived from a military / film costumier in London (Thank you Peter Evans!) which my assistant pounced on, as is her wont!

It contained several lots of-, and some individual- Pirates! Which means that less than 48 hours after the event I already have three or four posts in the long-queue for next year! See you there in 361!
