I can remember wondering if I'd ever see
the year 2000, and that's years ago - at this rate and with the wonders of
technology; 2100's looking good for a death-bed scene, not sure the early Cherilea will make it that far, so
better get them all on t'Line!
2019 may see more activity on the A-Z Blogs
and/or the Airfix and Hong Kong
Blogs, but I haven't really got a plan yet . . . while I think . . . ok . . .
while I watch the LoTR boxed set (over six hours of extras!), here's the show
list for the coming week, and as it's not yet 12th Night, the Christmas Star
column-dividers can have one more outing!
Note - Some price rises.

The. Best. Christmas. Present . . . since
the last one! It's a soap-on-a-rope Imperial Stormtrooper from Star Wars! I didn't even know they still
did soaps-on-ropes! Too cool for Starship School. It's from the same Firefly/Grosvenor Consumer Products (High ridge Brands in the USA) as the 'Trooper
tooth-brush Peter Evans sent the Blog's way, back in May . . . or was it May
'17? The dork force is strong in this one!
To be said uttered in a guttural
voice by Tommy Vance's ghost . . . or Morgan Freeman . . .
"I
am become the Sudth Lord, destroyer of dirt, look upon my works ye mucky-filth and
despair!"
