Jesus man, between you and Schnellfuer I'll need a lobotomy to sort the mental anguish out. Its as bad as the infamous john I joe lingerie scandal.

Who the hell is this guy? I gather he was a member and was then banned, and writes an incredibly self indulgent blog on being an incredibly self indulgent knob head, but wow, I kick this dude in the junk, dear reader(s)!

I'd say tell me more, but I'm not sure I want to know...

He was a very polite person in his own bubble world but to the rest of us he was a complete and utter twat but he just also happens to be a perennial source of amusement.

Funny you should mention that. He has a post about a Clinton cards owner or heir who buys big on ebay and ... wait, I'll find it while I'm on the phone ... sort of sounded similar

Reminded the dear reader(s) of john I joe. Might not be.

The BEST ebay message I’ve ever received…
December 30, 2011

I received this message from ebay earlier today. It concerns my distaste at having received very low offers for a rare toy listed. I had listed it cheaper than any other at first. However, upon receiving an offer from the OWNER of Clintons Cards who is a millionaire and well known by his nom de guerre on ebay as a collector willing to spend vast sums at the drop of a hat–much to the chagrin of envious middle aged Vintage Action Man collectors–I decided I’d rather re–increase the price to its nominally commensurate level….I’m sick of collectors wanting things for next to nothing only to laughingly sell their tat for high prices…

So, here is said email…I particularly liked the part about ‘ flaming M & S gift vouchers and crappy book tokens’…..Perhaps Paul (the pen name of the sender) could use said gift vouchers to buy some luxuriant M & S produce and books to then read to calm his apparent anuerism of rage over not being able to afford buying my toys….

Dear lastsonofgallifrey,
Cheers for increasing the price now with luck you’ll still have the figure after I’ve been paid!! Sadly not everyone has £70 plus a further £9 postage spare so soon after Christmas. Unless of course you take flaming m&s gift vouchers or crappy book tokens. Happy New year, Adam

Looking for the head of StanFernan.

The figures called S.W.S. Bombardier, S.W.S = Special Weapons Service, one of the proposed teams prior to the creation of the final line up of Z FORCE, S.A.S FORCE, Q - FORCE, SPACE FORCE and the imaginatively titled....'THE ENEMY'...

Bloke called Dave Tree found this all out on bloodforthebaron.com...a bunch of arseholes and hes one too imho but credited him as he'd probably have a shitfit seeing this info up here and his name not being mentioned...

Still a twat though is Dave. Apparently he knows 'lots more' about Palitoy's never produced toys for Action Force but never reveals it all...I reckon he's crapping when hes yapping as he never elaborates....

HAVE AT THEE DAVE TREE - MY COCK IS LIKE THE MIGHTY HAMMER OF ASGARD!!!!! I WILL SLAP IT TWIXT YON JAW MY MIGHTY MJONLIR!!!!!!!

No, I said he's an arsehole, period. Nothing to do with him going to all the trouble of finally revealing the provenance of said 'mystery figure' - which has puzzled nearly ALL Joe collectors the world over since around 1997 I think when I first saw the pics on yojoe.com. He mentions titbits of info on bloodforthebaron.com on other so called gems of information to do with Palitoy's design team who worked on Action Force and never elaborates.

Why? Its not part of the official secrets act over here in the UK so why he can't spill the beans is beyond me, and irritating - hence calling him an entrance way betwixt two posterior cheeks OK?

I admire the man for bringing to light information and images concerning Palitoy Action Force and the prototypes of S.W.S. Force - he even brought to light images of said prototypes to light on bftb.com, but he's annoying in that he doesn't elaborate on other things hes made mention of - either that or he doesn't know anything else and makes crap up....and thats my other reason for calling him a bum burper ok? If I knew this stuff I'd say so, not remain tight lipped.

Back onto the figure, yep it'd be cool to see it as a 25th style exclusive. I was thinking about the club 2 exclusives a time thing and I expect they'll make things like this for it.

Wouldn't be surprised if they go on to make other A.F. redecos like the S.A.S. Hunter figure using the 25th Cobra Officer bod, well, the Nightwatch Officer was practically it, then theres other figs like S.A.S. Eagle, he was the Squadron Leader, other Z Force characters like Z FORCE STEELER, Gaucho, Jammer etc, etc.

Think knee-high boots, dear reader(s).

I’m apparently a fashionista…
December 14, 2012
The weather today is crap. Its raining. Which, when comparable to yesterdays chilly offering is better as it warms the air up a bit but its still…sh*t. It is however perfect weather for dusting down my knee high boots and wearing them. Yes dearest reader(s), I wear knee high boots and I am male.
It is indeed a rare thing to see a man in knee high boots unless its a Farmer or a horse rider of some sort…or he’s wearing wellies in inclement weather worser than todays meagre offering this wintry Friday afternoon. However, it would appear that I am not alone. A quick Google of the interweb provided me with a forum link to which I decided to trawl through some interesting 16 pages of discursive commentary from various men and women professing a fellow love of wearing them and women on the whole liking the idea…It pleased me. And why not? Men have originally worn them long before Stella Macartney and her ilk appropriated it as a fashion ‘must have’ for women to wear with their oh so sexually arousing (in your humble author and friend for one) tight, skinny fit jeans that I do eye up and down…For me, it began after my awful break up with my cow of an ex in 2009, I wanted to drastically re-invent myself, rejuvenate, indeed regenerate like Dr Who himself and change my image completely – again, why not? Women do so after myriad break ups the world over, well, the Western world over as I somehow doubt hardline Islamist nations allow for such practices under a veil or Burkha…(contraversial? Moi? Sic)

At College, immature twats sniggered and smirked – the marque of, well, an immature twat. I recall vividly a particular girl always went out of her way to mock me to her mates and upon telling a neighbour – friend of mine his view was that ‘she probably fancies you’…Hmm, I wonder, but I do know some young girls act like idiots towards the actual object of said affection…She works in my local Top Man, and I am sorely tempted to go in there and give her hell when I’m in a bad mood one of these days – be warned young lady…

Anyhow, I do own three pairs, a pair of Dublin River outdoor boots with a more casual, robust flair to them and two pairs of Gallop ‘Huntley’ boots in black and brown…I am pissed off with my Dublins as the reinforcing around the ball of the heel keeps sliding down when I insert my feet into each one and it takes a wee bit of fidgeting to get it to slide back up into place, its really a flaw on the part of the company and I would send them back if I could be arsed. I bought them in 2009/10 off an ebay seller and it wasn’t their fault this has happened, they all were brand spanking new at the time of purchase…smelly, sodden and used just wouldn’t do…

Yesterday before trapsing into University to hand in some work I went to my local haunt, Picnic Cafe and noticed the woman sat next to me outside was looking at me. Initially this pissed me off, but then she asked me where I got my boots from and we ended up having a very nice conversation about boots in general, her liking the look and other stuff as well…it made me feel that 0.0001% of the population are actually decent folk but sadly these said folk are a rare treat…I sometimes think that when women in particular look down at my legs they either eye my boots with envy or are surprised to see a man wearing a pair…either reaction pleases me greatly. As the nice woman I spoke with yesterday said, its a great look - if you have the legs for it and if you have the flair to be slightly different you’d wear a pair. I hope I’ve got both in spades.

Anyhow, to paraphrase Lloyd Grossman on the formally hilarious original format of Maaaaasssturrrrr Cheffff (that is my online impression of him), for your collective deliberation, cogitation and digestion here are some quaint pics of my boots (sourced likenesses off the interweb) and some rather interesting links to mens fashion pages…it would really appear that whilst the guru’s of high fashion wish to revive the lost art of men garbed in knee high boots most men aren’t gutsy enough to wear them – which, in a funny way is good as I’d rather be an individual sporting a different look to most somedays than be simply an identikit fashionista Zebra amongst the proverbial herd…however, I do wish more shops would stock a small range for men, especially boots with a more masculine, grippy heel / sole to them…

Enjoy…
