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.

B is for Bioki

Typical . . . this should have posted yesterday sometime, but having congratulated myself for sorting out the nightmare folder, I attempted to close the not-a-user 'user' folder, by combining it with the actual user-folder and found that I'd lost all my settings and had to re-do everything, all my bookmarks, all my Firefox add-ons, all my saved log-in's and passwords, sometimes you do wonder just exactly what you did in a previous life?!!

Anyway, just a quicky from Brian Berke, on a new branding of capsule egg he found Stateside recently . . . Bioki (which I've been mispronouncing 'boy-key' in my head prior to actually typing it!); they're quite large eggs with printed faces and hand-clamps to lock them closed.

Sadly nothing too figural, with a packet of candies, an interactive toy (press the button/lever and the deign showing on the inner-ball changes view), a novelty ring and a sticker animal, Brian was going to open the other with his grandson, so there may be something more interesting to report from its contents? Another box-ticked, many thanks to Brian!
