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.

P is for Perfect Plastic Pigboat

We saw the Lido mini's years ago, but only the surface fleet and I can't remember why the Submarine became detached and languishing in Picasa, but I may have obtained it at a later date, or meant to add it to whatever post it was, and never got round to it, but here it is . . . 

 . . . a teeny-tiny unterseeboot! There should be a 'z' in there, surely! The surface vessels I've got are all powder-blue polystyrene, I don't know if the silver was mixed with the blue, or unique to the Sub;, but it's a dinky little thing! Job Done.
