About Me

My photo
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.

Timpo

Herald Toys & Models

"This week we have for sale a collection of early plastic (solid and swoppet-type) Timpo American Civil War and Wild West figures, including some mounted Civil War officers and a Wild West bank robber."

The Toysaurus Lives! Maybe!
They probably got some DNA out of amber? Will Jeff Goldblum play your dad? "Err . . . miss . . . please . . .  scuse-me, err . . how much are . . . humm . . . these toy soldiers please, err, I can't err, seem to find  . . . hur-hum. . . . the label?"



Thought for the day . . .

Maybe - Maybe Not
Ms May asked Parliament for some time yesterday, may I suggest; eight-years, no parole? Six weeks 'till we become Portugal-minus-minus! Minus the sun, minus the smiles! Even Luxembourg will be able to laugh at us . . .and they're just a  truck-stop on the way to somewhere else!
