A History That Never Happened By Paul A

Hi Woodsy

In their 2020 Mainline range Hot Wheels have included a series of ten models devoted to the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games. These are all existing models, decorated with graphics depicting various sports. 

On 1st August I picked up several new Hot Wheels, including the first Olympic model that I have seen. It is a large scale skateboard called Skate Grom, which carries the copyright date 2013 on its metal base. 

It is mainly purple, marked Tokyo 2020, and Skateboarding, the black plastic figure also has the Olympic symbol on his chest. This is model number 6 of the 10 in the series. Now to find the remaining nine. 

With the Tokyo Olympic Games deferred until at least next year, if they happen at all, what is going to happen to all the souvenirs that have already been produced ? Will they be sold, or scraped ? 

This little model now records a history that never happened - like something from a science fiction story, just like all the souvenirs produced for the planned coronation of King Edward VIII in 1937.

i would go out tonight but i haven't got a stitch to wear

 

CRUMBS!

 

Now that's what I call a biscuit tin!

In the Sixties they thought we would have colonised the moon by now and erected domes everywhere to eat our biscuits in!

Its a lovely vision. 

Did or do you have any space related tins?

THE CINEMA'S CLOSED

Its the end of an era for me. Cineworld has closed all its UK and US cinemas due to Covid.

I have been going to to my local Cineworld with a friend for years - maybe 15 or 20 - and during its orange Wednesday period we went every week. There was hardly any fantasy, horror and sci-fi we didn't see.

I'm really quite gutted its all over. Oh I know its meant to be a temporary closure but it feels like Cineworld has shut forever. The end of cinema-going with my film buddy.

Is the cinema near you still open?

CRUNCHY FISH BALLS

Another food memory I have are crispy fish balls.

These crunchy mothers were small crispy battered balls of cod or haddock.

They were kept in the freezer and made by Birds Eye or similar and my Mum served them with home-made chip-pan chips and marrowfat peas.

I remember them being absolutely delicious!

Did you fish ball?

is this love that i'm feeling?
