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.

News, Views Etc . . . Links

There'll be no dates for a while, I know things are being worked on in the background to save something from the mess that is a Global Pandemic! I'll do a separate post on Barney's news in the next day or two, and a prasie of Vectis's mail-shots. For now a few links to pass the lock-down time!

Made irrelevant by Covid-19, but better pictures than the last (Manchester?) report;


Tradition's new 1st Carabinier Regiment, Belgian Army, WWI, lovely figures for lead collectors.


I can't remember if we've had this one before, but it's toy heavy, and fun!
