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.

P is for Plastic Poilus from Powys

Ha-ha, did you see what I did there . . . sometimes I even amuse myself! Actually I'm not sure Swansea is in Powys, but that would spoil it, and if Trump can place the USAAF in the AWI, I can place the Louis in Powys!

Frenchies, six-inch monster-men a'fightin' and a'dyin' for the glory of France in some muddy trench somewhere . . . in Belgium! Rifles are a bit small and one of them has a ray-gun! In fact that SMG-alike probably hints at World War Two . . . likely still Belgium though! Remembering one of the rules of French military victory; ignore the fact that the Germans always come through Belgium and build a line of forts somewhere else.

Picture was taken with the old camera and is a bit fuzzy! Marx. Six-inch. French Infantry. Polyethylene. Box Ticked!
