Have I got two hot babes for you! That should
really be a question, to which the answer has to be...
well, no, I don't, actually. Instead, here's a pic of two
plastic toys of Rose Tyler and Martha Jones -
but for plastic toys, they're pretty durn hot!
Do you have these in your collection?
ReplyDeleteSure do, McS. This is a photo I took years ago. Was looking through my photo files last night, saw it, and decided to publish, not having anything else worth posting about. There'll be a post about the Care Home once a national newspaper prints the story they're due to run. Once they've exhausted the topics of Brand and Walliams, that is. Y'know, most of the celebrities in these situations, I never liked - the only one which took me by surprise was Rolf Harris.
DeleteKid, I'd assumed the imminent big news was you getting a knighthood for services to exposing dodgy care-homes.
ReplyDeleteIt's more likely to be a brick through my window for exposing dodgy care-homes, CJ. I wouldn't accept a knighthood anyway. I'd hold out for being made King.
DeleteOn the care home subject, how's your Mother faring Kid, also how do you rank the new place? Cannot wait to hear the latest bad press on that sad excuse of a care home...
ReplyDeleteJust back from visiting her 10 or 15 minutes ago, AAW. When myself and the social worker collected her some weeks back to take her to the new Home, she had deteriorated very badly since I'd last seen her. Lost a lot of weight, couldn't speak, didn't seem to recognise me, and her nails were about 10-12 mm past the end of her fingers, so she'd clearly been neglected. Obviously, because of antipathy towards me, they'd decided they weren't going to go to any bother with her, which shows you what bastards some of them are. The new place isn't perfect, but it's got a rating of 9.8 and is a lot better than the old one. When the story breaks in the newspaper, I'll let you all know.
DeleteI look forward to it hearing about it. Hope you are both keeping well, it's been a trying experience for you to go through.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I could've done without it, AAW, that's for sure.
DeleteKid, I was perusing through the internet and came across a site called Pineapple Retro, they currently have two items for sale that look very familiar from the 70s, take a look, see the links:

I can almost recollect the Star Lord magazine, but thought the yogi toy would be something of interest for you, it's apparently 1970s Marx?
I'll take a look right now and get back to you, AAW.
DeleteTook a look and I've already got the Yogi Bagatelle, AAW. I think I showed it on the blog a few years back. There's also a couple of them available on eBay at the moment. Not 100% sure, but think I've got the first 3 issues of Star Lord. I saw a Santa with reindeer toy on the site and have just bought it, so thanks for the heads up.
DeleteWow! I showed the bagatelle back in February 2015 - how time flies. It's in the post 'Toybox Treasures Of The Past: Yogi's Circus Bagatelle...' - take a look.
ReplyDeleteNo problem, you'll have to show the Santa as a Christmas Special on your blog. I like purchase website's like that, a total time travel back, quite reasonable prices as well. Did you notice the Dan Dare Walkie Talkie set, great box art and toy...and the Woody Woodpecker annual, I'm sure I had that too? I also like the various vintage Flyers and Dandy/Beano comic library books as well...Christmas is coming early! Ha ha.

I took a quick look-through when I was there, but didn't notice the walkie-talkies, AAW. However, when I visit these latest links, I'll keep an eye out for it. Ta much.
