Apologies
to those overseas readers who
don't
know the tune to the Hokey-Cokey!
What an odd week, we have the Italians (who
produced the above man-child sculpt) turning away from fascism, with a
delightful irony as the other chap was positive he was going to be picking-up
El Douche's crown; a crown left rather tarnished and fishy-smelling by
Berlusconi, while over here our meat-faced, walking heart-attack has gone for a
putsch on parliament, with Queeny's help!
It's also Ironic that in America, underage-sex
fans who might prove embarrassing to the establishment die suddenly (and not
that clearly), in their cell before they come to trial, in Italy they get
re-elected three times . . . Bunga-Bunga anyone? And where's that Andrew? We
put ours in number ten . . . what? Oh . . . sorry; apparently she's not
under-age, must be just a masochistic power-groupie!
They're all rotten, none of them like
democracy, they're not keen on obeying the rules that govern the rest of us and
we should stop voting for them, but that's an idle fantasy, some people think
they are all brilliant and are happy to believe their lies! Meanwhile, the
world keeps burning.
You could drown your sorrows in a toy fair
. . . Saturday's gone a bit pear-shaped but Sunday's busy . . .

Other News
The local toy shop have sacked their
policeman (see Blog passim) and replaced him with an Amazon, or should that be
knightess (I suspect in the correct Playmobil
sets she's a Princess!).
★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★
H is for How They Come In
A quiet week compared to last week, only
two little bags for 75p and £1.25 for a whole two quid! A few Phidal's (I
think), some Blue Box 'Singapore'
animals, a couple of horses and a fish & turtle - for the next marine round-up!
Smaller, upper piles of larger items will go back to charity.
