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.

T is for Toy Fair 2019 Reports - Gibsons Games - Crystal Hall

Having looked at a vintage board game's pieces this morning there's a little symmetry or balance in looking at a current one, this afternoon!

Our oldest independent games maker now I believe; Gibsons only had one game on show this year of interest to figure fans, and of not much interest - even I will admit, nevertheless, it has figures as playing pieces and they may be of interest to some, I will myself endeavor to obtain one of each colour before I start pushing up the daises!

Witches in four colours, four of each and all the same pose, like I say - of limited use, but could have applications with 28mm role play gamers, or for use in home-made-rules' games? Hell - there's enough to make/paint-up a whole unit of Nottingham something's, except the rules won't allow it! There's also a pile of plastic 'crystals' and task-tiles which - again - may be of some use to someone?

Crystal Hall from Gibsons Games . . . it's probably also a lot of fun!
