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.

P is for Pango Pencil Pals

Not everything get's kept for Friday 'forthcomings', and this is a case in point, having failed to find anything in the Basingrad charity shops (I forgot to look!), I managed to pick these up in one of the card shops . . . Cards Direct if the price labels are to be believed and there's no reason not to! They did the dinoraser chinasaur pencil-tops we looked at recently, or recent'ish, it may have been a while back?

These robots came in two sizes with or without a hole in their fundament, and as they were both cheap as chips, and robots, I grabbed all! Three designs, duplicated in both sets and with shaped blisters on both card, no others to find, it's complete sets, line and range!

As with their chinaraser dinosaur brethren, what was the odd one has grown into a side-bar collection of stuff, which grows every time I take my eyes off it for five minutes! I also thought to glue the thin ones back-to-back with their matching thick one to make double-sided bot's, but they would be too fat and look like the bot's who won the all-you-can-eat meatloaf competition!

The beauty of getting more bot-rasers is that we get to look at the whole family again before I put them away! It looks like the most awkward cocktail-party ever . . . where's that obsequious ambassador with his pyramid of chocolates!

"So, what do you do?"

"Obey humans mostly . . ."

"Oh! I help destroy Death Stars"

"I suppose someone has to, but it's not for me . . . odd hours and stuff, light-sabres, rubbish compactors; health and safety must be a nightmare"

"It's not a walk in the park - that's for certain!"
