Hens Teeth in Outer Space

There are Outer Space Men and there are Bullmarks.

This is the Bullmark Orbitron as seen on auction. A Japanese beauty! 

Have you a Bullmark?

Quality Street Every Time

Choosing a small hospital gift for my poorly sister I was faced with that age old dilemma of fruit or chocolates.

I opted for chocs and hit the aisles. Wanting to travel light I needed a pocket sized box and the choice was: Quality Street, Celebrations, Heroes and some me toos.

It took about a nano-second to choose Quality Street. The vintage graphics alone draw you in and then there's the assortment. I mean, wow!

My personal favourite is the long chewy choc-covered caramel in the gold wrapper, followed closely by the purple paper hazelnut soft caramel. Scrumptious! 

I was amazed to see really big versions of a few of these chocs on the aisle too. The Big Purple One and the Green Triangle of solid chocolate, which maybe the nations favourite, I dunno. I may have to treat myself to a big Quality Street one-off this Easter!

My choice of hospital chocolates was vindicated by 1. Passing the Nestlé factory on the train in Halifax (the home of Quality Street!) and 2. My sister's smile when I handed them over.

Would you have chosen Celebrations readers?

Holy Talk!

I've had a couple of talking Batmobiles so I was intrigued when I saw this auction shot. I'm pretty sure the big blistered one is a talker. Not so sure about the front one.

Have you a talking batmobile?

Will's Boxed Talking Batmobile 🦇

Hi Woodsy, 

My palitoy Batmobile. The voice box is a bit slow so it sounds like Bruce is drunk ! Must be the Batbeer! Had the dynamic duo been on a Batbender?

Float On!

Hi Woodsy,

I came across this multi wheeler on Buyee the other day and as the tyres are closed cell foam it can paddle it's way over water!
