About Me
- Hugh Walter
- 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.

K is for Kicking and Screaming . . .
Hard to believe that a modern set of such
poor overall (paint and fine detail) quality could feature on the Blog for a
forth or fifth time, but that is what is happening here and a follow-up to
various follow-up's, found in The Range, Aldershot (looking for hose connectors
- always check the toy section!) and branded to the previously seen PME, but
with a new header-card, it's those footballers' again!
Although, if you're a racist, this isn't a
set for you, oh, no-no-no, you go and sit in your so wrong, white-right zone
and leave the rest of us to enjoy the fact that a set that's been around for
over a decade now has finally decided to represent what's happening on the pitch!
Sticking with one of the previously seen
colour schemes, shirt wise, we now have 50% of the players showing obvious
ethnicity and the knowledge that the Ref' might be a gay Scotsman, or even that one
of the players might be gay, means inclusivity finally comes to the hallowed turf - provided it's icing - as it has in real life! And it's Pride month - go Justin; you've got the ball ('Forest strip!), score goals on a green cake!
