By hiding the PVC-vinyl imports in the
small print, well played Hasbro!
Still, at least they're not rare-earths! If you want to play hardball with
China Donald, you need a level of intellect you don't have!
Old toys . . . you want to know where to
find old toys this coming week . . .

Also / And / And Also!
6th June 1944
It can't have escaped your notice that this
Thursday is the 75th Commemoration (a lot of people died) of the Allied air
& sea armada and the landings in Normandy (Alliiert Landungsunternehmanoperation
von See und Luftlandeangriff aus Normandie abbreviated with National
Socialist precision to WTF?) which paved the way for the
liberation of Europe from the yolk of fascism, from starvation, from industrial
murder . . . and from the Vichy!
I can't possibly find, do justice to, or
make space for all of the events which will be going on, both sides of the
English Channel and elsewhere in the world, so here are three of the main 'event'
links, and I'll leave it to those keen to attend something to take it from
here. If there is a little local-thing you know of and think others may be
interested-in; feel free to drop something in the comments as you pass or add
other useful links.

Some events will be this weekend, the
majority next, with the main services on Thursday/Friday, for which we have to
put up with the fat, weird-haired, blow-hard, gobshite one! No, not Boris the
other one! No, not Kin Jong Un . . . the corrupt, white, biggly-wiggly
burger-stuffing, President one . . . you know; the one in Putin's sexy-pee-pee
videos! Hummm, yeahhhh, he's visiting! Great! Greatly-great . . . I said so!

H
is for How They Come In
This week's 'big score' was two bags of
Chinasaurs, among which were what appears to be all or most of contents of a Safari
Mini's 'toob' (the bag to the left) and a trio of AAA/'Triple-A' beasts -
the other bag.
Bath-time on Dune;
"Just stand there and let the nice lady wash your barnacles, or I'll blow you away!"
"Just stand there and let the nice lady wash your barnacles, or I'll blow you away!"
I also got these out of the 50p basket in
one of the charity shops, the stable-girl is modern and Chinese, the seal pair
are Kinder (I think) and the 'army
man' is another Soma. While I'm
assuming - from the BBC license - that the other . . . ahem . . . 'item' is a
Dr. Who thing? But it'll look good in some future fantasy figure round-up . . .
or something! I guess it's scaled for 3 or 4-inch action figures?

The
'dividers' today are trying to be a row of beach-huts as we are heading into
'Flaming June' with a forecast of colder weather next week, but Saturday is
supposed to be a scorcher!
