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.

G is for Grandmother Stover's

I know I've mentioned them in passing a few times - like SSCO's items - they turn-up on feebleBay (US [.com]) all the time and I shove the image in the folder for future reference and the odd sideways mention, but I've had this for years, and though it was about time to show it!

The smallest version (of 20+) copies of either the Britains (in this case) or Fontanini dancers I have yet encountered are these bitty-babes; they come in at a very good 1:76th scale! I keep one 'mint', and have opened the other - in case I have to decorate a Swan Lake cake one day . . . of course!

Hank suspected th't that last Messerschmitt had broken the back of 'Painted Lady' and set-off the bomb-load at 18,000 feet, but the sadness he felt, momentarily, for his mother and sweetheart was somewhat salved by the fact that things were clearly looking-up - wherever he'd found himself . . .
