BABE Of The DAY - ZOE McCONNELL...

All hail the stunning Zoe McConnell,

one of the most beautiful Page 3 Girls of

the 1990s.  If I had a figure like hers, most

 likely I'd be a woman - so no thanks.

TOYBOX TREASURES Of The PAST - SANTA'S OCTOBER VISIT...

It's now November 1st, but this classic collectors' item arrived at Castel Crivens yesterday, much to my delirious delight.  "Hold on," some of you may be thinking, "don't you already have this item, purchased around four years ago, with which you bored the rest of us for far too long?"  The answer's yes, but that one was an earlier version (I believe), with a smaller box than my original, and which required the bagged appendages to be slotted into place by the buyer.  This one has the window display box I recall from childhood, with Santa, sack, tree, tail, and reindeer head already affixed, and even though it cost me five times the amount I paid for the other one, I'm pleased as punch to have it - not that I'd  have minded it being less expensive to be honest.

Anyway, being the magnificently generous person I am, I thought I'd share it with all you Crivvies (yes, even you, Tory-hating CJ) so here's Santa's 'Space Blimp Of Christmas' for you to drool over - figuratively speaking of course, 'cos I don't want the box getting soaked.  It's usually described as being 'extremely rare', but how can it be?  After all, I've got two of them! 

In the unlikely event you may have forgotten its predecessor, that's it below.
