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.

O is for One for Fun

I was going to add these to the end of the Christmas cracker post the other day, but I realised they are very different really, being not small monochrome blobs, but a more sophisticated product altogether! I know! But they can go here, in their own little eraser post!
 
I bought these in a supermarket but can't remember which (Tesco or Morrisons I think, Home Bargains as a maybe?), however it should be available elsewhere or online, as it's an HGL product  from One for Fun, who are the over-brand now, holding Ozzbozz and Tobar in the same stable.

It was less than three quid I think, and for that you get quite a lot, with three plug-together Iwaco knock-offs, two flowers (tulip and rose) and a stegosaurus, three other monobloc dinosaurs which we may have seen before from The Works, three 'flat' sports balls and two space flats, an astronaut and a rocket, all five are polychrome extrusion slices, and another five; random items of over-moulded, miniature domestic household goods/food items. So quite a mix, almost a 'starter pack' for someone new to erasers. Bargain!
