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 . . . Busy Today, Sandown Park Tomorrow!

 
Another day where Real Life impinged upon my abilities to Blog frivolous toys - How very dare it! While - don't forget - it's Sandown Park tomorrow, and with mild temp's and reasonable weather forecast, there's no real reason to not make the effort!

Probably try to start to make the move to think later about how to tackle posting something more substantial on Sunday? In the meantime two old shots of a post-'H is for How . . .' photo-shoot/sort-out, both from January 2019, a Chris Smith Xmas-lot if I'm not mistaken, it's all in the stash for future posts, what can you spot?

There never seems to be an end to the variety of goodies you display.

You can never have everything Jan, but I'm going to have a damn-good try! But it's the help of Chris S, Theo vdW, Peter E, Paul M, John B, Adrian L, Brian B, and Trevor R that's getting me there! And others; Matt T and 'Timpo Dave' have both saved me nice bits over the years, Gareth M gave me a load of stuff, Brian C . . . Graham A . . . all generous guys, Steve V always seems to have something for me if I ask, couldn't do it without their help!
