James May's Top Toys

[Kinky]

Our very own (well TGs very own - and my favourite presenter) James May is presenting a programme on Wednesday evening on his top toys ..... and they're not of the vehicular variety ......

BBC Website said:

James May's Top Toys Wed 21 Dec, 8:00 pm - 9:00 pm 60mins A celebration of the toys which have survived across the decades, presented by a man who still plays with them. When James May was three, his father gave him a toy car for Christmas, and a life behind the wheel and under a bonnet became his destiny. 42 year old James takes us on a tour of his childhood mind as he rifles through his boy toy favourites which include Meccano, Lego, Scalectrix, Airfix and his all time number one toy - the train set. His love of engineering and building things has shaped the ingredients of his entire toy cupboard. There's not a microchip in sight. He still plays with his toys - still loves building things with his various sets. Each toy prompts a story - a history told via archive, anecdote and obsessive collector.

And immediately before this programme is the Dragons Den 'Where are they now' programme - showing some of the 'contestants' from the 1st series (7-8pm).

Yeah - that was them that was.

I drive past SRR most evenings .... always tempted to pop in for a coffee

But I hear that you keep all the chocolate digestives to yourself and I'm not sure I fancy sharing mine

SRR is now based only down the road from Chez Kinky at the old Dera Site on Chobham road... When we are up and running, feel free to drop in anytime..

Cheers Chaz - I'll make a deliberate point of doing so.

I've seen the development plans for that place - it looks pretty cool.

If you need a hand humping stuff (no - not 'that' humping ) around - gis a shout. I'm sure I could spare an hour or 2 to muck in.
