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 . . . Vectis - April Sales

With my usual uselessness and lackadaisical approach to news and views, I forgot the Vectis sales dates changes, there is actually one of their Specialist Die-cast sales onging right this minute, but of more import is the Toy Soldier & Model Figure sale tomorrow, mostly new metal and quality old hollow-cast, and for which you can grab the catalogue here . . .


. . . with dolls and bears on Wednesday and a private collection (Mecanno) and vintage toy sale on Thusday. Note there is no bidding or viewing in person, due to Covid-19, they are strictly on-line only.
