I went to the MC Hammer Museum the other day. It was rubbish, you weren’t allowed to touch anything!

The Claude Monet / Frank Spencer mash-up you never knew you needed. ‘Oooo Betty, and all that bo**ocks’. Enjoy…

My missus keeps throwing buckets of Ronseal over me. To be honest, I don’t like the way I’m being treated.

The other day I bought a lettuce which was endorsed by the pop group The Mamas And The Papas. I can’t eat it though, because all the leaves are brown!

University Challenge is trending, which reminds me it’s been a while since I deployed this. Enjoy… #UniversityChallenge

Here’s a thread of today’s toy fair purchases for anyone interested, starting with this very fine 1:43 scale Norev Renault 21 ‘Nevada’ estate. It’s a great model on a large base, certainly not a model you find everywhere…

Oxford Diecast 1:76 Volvo Amazon and Birmingham Bedford J1 Lomas ambulance. These were 2 for £10, so I couldn’t resist.

Hot Wheels mainline ‘70 Ford Escort RS1600 in brown competition livery. I bought two so I could open one. Suitably retro colour and livery for this car.

Before last weekend, I didn’t have any models of the Lancia Beta. Then, on Saturday I picked up the Politoys saloon at Beaulieu Autojumble, and on Sunday I bought the Solido coupe at an antiques centre in Christchurch. Now I’m the Beta for it…. Geddit?

In 1972 a crack commando unit were sentenced by a military court for a crime they did not commit, etc. etc. Here’s a 1:24 scale Greenlight ‘The A Team’ 1977 Plymouth Fury, and it’s terrific… and large!
