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.

M is for May May and Maybe Not (nothing to do with that fatuous woman and her Brwreakshit not-a-plan)

I have loads and loads of unknown flats, usually very small samples; in the case of today's subject - only the one, but it's been ID'd, it's another name in the canon, so let's have a shufftie!

Here it is, probably male and some sort of mountain sheep-goat-deer thing; call me a discriminatory, speciesist Nazi but all those high-altitude, ungulate ruminants look the same to me . . . and some of their women-folk have horns as big as the men!

Heh-heh! Bill B's catalogue says May May, and another shooting game, when I recognised them I thought I had two, the polar bear looks familiar, so I may have him in a TBS pile somewhere, but I don't think so; I'm pretty sure I've sorted all the flats now.

'Berserker' knows when he's beat and makes a hasty retreat while on the other side an elephant of smaller stature, but with similar paint treatment and who bears little resemblance to 'Euro-flat' premiums is shown as a possible from a similar (even cheaper?) shooting game?

He may never get another chance to shine so he gets both sides in close-up now while he's in the spotlight! While he may be from another shooting game, he may be from a snow-shaker; they often have these cruder finished flats in them?

Have I just got a whole Blog-post out of two crappy, flat animals? I think I have! AND; another name for your book, discs or dongle - May May.
