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.

L is for Les Tuniques Bleues

Recently released in English (2008) and now known to some of you as 'The Bluecoats' this pair are characters in their own long-running series of comic strips and albums dating back to the 1970's, and in the style of Lucky Luke, that is, the Euro-comic style of bandes dessinées.

From the left; Sergeant Cornelius Chesterfield & Corporal Blutch, marked Dupouis '98 (the Belgian publisher), these were by Papo,  and are a modern replacement-PVC around 80mm (Blutch) and 95mm, but I didn't measure them exactly, when I shot them!
