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.

News, Views Etc...In Brief

So, I sort of lost my mojo over the weekend, I was going to post something for Sunday afternoon and this morning but my can-be-arsed tanks ran-dry on Friday and it didn't happen, and although I have tons of stuff in the queue I don't really know what I'm playing at for the next week or two.

New Additions 2017

In my defence we will hit 450-posts before the end of the year whatever happens so I'm not too bothered, clearly why the 'can't-be-arsed' reserve has kicked in! A few shelfies in awhile and the latest PW review later today, nothing for tomorrow yet, I may post something Spanish later, for tomorrow, but I'm doing Christmas trees and cutting wood and looking for holly with berries and important stuff like that right now!

That Pirate set the other day was imported by ITP, and branded to Toy Bank and Pirate Monkey . . . Toy Bank was one of the brands on those big rubber insects, so we can deduce that Pirate Monkey and Green Geko [sic] are madeupnames of Toy Bank. I'll add all relevant tags to the Pirate Ship's post before you read this.

Also Francesco Ferretti sent me the most fantastic shots of his Kinder collection last Thursday and they will make lovely eye-candy for the 12-days of Christmas, both for closing 2017 and setting us on the right path for 2018.
