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.

C is for Cone'ucopia - 1 of 2

It's been a while since we did a capsule-toy round-up, but they have been gathering in several folders, so I thought I'd get some of them cleared-out over Christmas and the New Year, as it all has to be ticked off sometime! This came from the 'plastic-Poundland' in Aldershot, Bargain Buys, about a year and a half ago.
 
Cornet'toys, geddit?
 

A ball of Gummi Bears, a 'play-dough' cutter, a nodding-head novelty tortoise and a dancing sharks sticker, it won't set the world alight, but it will keep little people happy for a while! The 'main toy' however, Orka, seems to have been sourced in Rumania, who are a rarity in the Tag list!
