In response to this thread Here here's some frog pix.

I didn't post in Abarb's thread for fear of going off topic.

As you walk in my home on the immediate right are some shelves, not full yet, with small objects on. They are illuminated by some led sticky lamps I got from IKEA. I like frogz. Here's pix:

The matching frog:

Where the frog is in the general scheme of things:

Lots more frogz, my daughter Lucy bought these for me when she was about 9 years old:

Details of shelves:

Mid nineties, they gave these Star Wars Figures away in packets of Rice Crispies, I got the whole set :) Each one has a little scroll inside.

That little jar/pot amongst the frogz there, my friend Kathy brought that from Iran for me, mid seventies. Back then, the Shah of Iran was in charge, before the Ayatollah Khomeini. Kathy worked as a Bunny Girl in Park Lane and the Shah invited her there to work. She made lots of money but the Shah, gawd bless his little cotton socks, was always coming on to kathy, so she came home again. Just before the revolution, luckily for her.

Kathy's husband Steve, who I introduced to her, died from stomach cancer about six years ago. I liked Steve, RIP mate.

So that little jar thingie always reminds me of Kathy.

A little further into the hall area, to the right, more frogz. Plants too :)

That piece of wood in the background is the base of a fence post I found whilst walking on Brighton beach about twelve years ago.

Oh look... Frogz porn! :lol: :lol:

Nice collection Flopps, I like the frogs a lot. The model vehicles are great too - they make me feel quite nostalgic.

The lights are very effective, we've got a few, but mainly lighting dark cupboards. Seeing your display, I am tempted to get more to illuminate some display shelves that we have here.:nod: Very nice :D

Neat very neat and tidy. Nice pics aswell. Like the frog and plant arrangements. An the lights on the shelves do look darn good.
Me sister has a collection of cars and vans on shelves too.
Froggy has been a bit difficult to control since he saw the porn. A bit of excitement won't do him any harm I guess.

Ah. You noticed. Damn.

In 1996 demdred came into my life. He had arrived from elsewhwere.

I was informed I'd been chosen to right some specific wrongs, notably giving over-zealous traffic wardens a serious dose of heartburn and indigestion each time they abused their power and did not excercise fair play.

So, some nights I roam the streets of this fair citadel, observe, and if neccessary - punish.

The silver box is merely a portway to my alter-ego. Very satisfying. In the past three months I have dealt with three smack dealers, two burglars and one dog owner who willingly lets his dog foul the footway. Daily Mail readers contribute to my funding.

The silver box handily also double functions as somewhere to store my keys.

demdred? What was I on last night? :confused:

22 pints and I try to make a funny and only succeed in making a complete wally of meself :lol:

No dust? Give it time, that displays only been in place since just before Christmas. I part-ex'd quite a lot of old model cars, Walkers crisps promo lorries and stuff, for some different ones at a stall in Greenwich Market.

That's how I got the Guinness lorry, that was actually up for sale for £25.00 :eek:

I have plenty of dusty places here, my computers could do with a good vacum cleaning for sure ;)
