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.

D is for the Donkeys They Rode In On!

Just Clowning around . . .

We saw a couple of cowboys from this series years ago, in fact I think I've added a third, and the same happened with these clowns (who are Clowns!), in that I got the pair a while ago, then another came in, some of them might be in show reports, and it's a shite shot (backlight again) so just a Picasa-clearer!

I was told these ramp-walkers were Tudor Rose, but I think they are a tad older, so someone like Kleeware or Bell maybe? I also suspect a mould-share, I think these were US Dime Store novelties at some point. I like the colours, and they almost match the Crescent clowns is size/style.
