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.

News, Views Etc . . . Airfix Blog & Housekeeping

I've managed to get a few updates done today, over on the Airfix blog - there are now two new images at the bottom of the Bergan/Beton figure page, dealing with the full set of dogs and the two new spaniels;

Six images have been added to the 8-figure early toy soldier page, dealing with recent finds and the BR Moulds discovery of Plastic Warrior magazine and its team;

while the Space Warriors got four more comparison shots;

More to come when I get the time!


*********************************************************

I had to deleate a comment earlier today, someone posted a spurious link to one of his recent posts which had nothing to do with the topic of the post on which it was left.

I am not your free billboard, and I just don't worry about fame, 'success' or SEO like you (and someone else I could mention); wherever I end up in google search results is down to my efforts to post original copy which I hope will be of interest, and the traffic that those [apparently interesting] posts generate.

When I post internal links (as above) it's because there's something new or relevant at the other end, not because I'm trying to duplicate my traffic, or falsify my popularity.

I don't need to ask obvious questions, don't chase comments, don't subscribe to idiot software for idiots and don't cross-post/re-post to or from duplicate Blogs, I do what is reasonable re. tagging and leave it at that!

You've been doing it for some time and I let the first few slide, then posted counter-links or better links to try to send you a message, but that obviously didn't work, so I'll just delete them . . . tin-man indeed - a cheat is a nothing.

Point taken. I wholeheartedly apologise for any offence caused by (and will refrain from) any spurious or flippant crossposting / comments.
I remain a loyal reader of your fascinating and encyclopaedic blog.

It wasn't up for long so you didn't need to ID yourself! Apology accepted, don't do it again!
