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.

G is for Gun Again!

Pretty sure we've seen both of these before, but I managed to shoot them together while they were off to storage a while back, and it's a quick reminder that BP Fairs Sandown park toy fair is tomorrow, all day, and it'll be a good one, because the weather forecast is fine, just the place to pick-up vintage Merit guns!

Slight colour variation between batches, but the important element is the change from wooden to plastic wheels, and that's it really, Merit Gun, the Merit tag will reveal the box somewhere as well I think.
