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.

T is for Two - Best of British Box Ticking

And 'seen elsewhere' too, so just a Picasa clearance really! But they are both rather nice and less common, while no one ever said you can't enjoy a bit of eye-candy occasionally!

Lone Star Zorro, and not the one Wotan gave me years ago, who is in storage, and who lacked a horse, although I think I may have found a horse for him at some point, which means I've got two, which is greedy, but I'm not going to apologise because I'm too old to be blackmailed by threats of Santa not coming, if I brag!
 
Crescent Sikh Infantry, not that rare, but hard to get with this quality of finish on, paint wise, so very pleased with them. I used to think these were better than the Atlantic ones, for having more 'realistic' turbans, but now realise the Atlantic ones are representing units in the East African campaign against Italy 1940-41, so now I just think these are better for not being oversized, dancing loons!
