About Me

My photo
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.

News, Views etc . . . Housekeeping!

It was the Italian riders I had in mind on the Britains post the other day (thank you FitzjamesHorse), and I had scanned a cutting for adding to the post, but forgot it, it's now been added, to the post here;

I also forgot to thank David Fisher for letting me photograph his carded Jungle set from Grendon at the recent Sandown Park toy fair, when iI posted it the other day, so a quick apology to him, and a note now added to that post;

The News, Views have taken a bit of a back-seat this last 12 or 18-months, but it's all piling-up and will be caught-up with at some point! I mean there's 921 images in the ScanDoc folder for Christ's sake, it's a madness!
