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 . . . Auction News

Two auctions are coming up, neither offering much for likely followers of the Blog, but the some of the guys at Pod Stallions may be interested in this three-date sale of a collection of mostly 12" Action figures;

While the Vectis Toy Soldier Sale in on Monday (this Monnday), no nice mixed 'junk' lots, and far too much 'new metal' for my liking (as always!), but some quality mint/boxed Timpo and Britains among them for those who's pockets might be a tad deeper thann mine!

I'm unlikely to go back to the full Friday 'Forthcoming Dates/Events posts for a while yet, but when I do, I will probably simplify them; I've noticed they can choke-up some search results, so they will be tagged less for starters! And when I'm feeling strong, I'll go back and clean up all 150-odd of the old ones!
