Ok, here's my pet peeve: I really hate it when somebody sees my Robots for
the first time and they compare them or liken them to somthing else. As in,
oh look it looks like Transformers or look it looks like an Alien from the
movies or Predator or other simularities....I guess it's kinda a compliment,
but I think my Robots are original designs and I did'nt try to copy from
anything or anybody, I really took pains to make my designs original and
comparision is the last thing I want! I just grin and bare it. It's kinda
disrespectfull to say it looks like somthing else, but that's just the way I
am. I guess people have to come to there own conclusions and they relate to
the work as best they can so they draw on popular culture.

But just for the record.... THEY'RE NOT FROM TRANSFORMERS!!! I MADE THEM!!!

Ahh much better....

Let's make my first few postings non-contentious.

My peeve is having first my mum, and now my wife and kids, putting plastic
non-Lego in the Lego box.  I mean, does a pen cap REALLY look like Lego?  A
domino?  A plastic guard from a disposable razor?  NO!!!   Lego box for
LEgo, the bin for everything else.

And it's not just my mum and wife - I have bought boxes of used Lego
similarly full of junk!

The only excuse for doing this is that modern Lego is so poor that folk
confuse it with rubbish . . .er . . . . Contentious Alert!!  Contentious
Alert!!  Contentious Alert!!  Contentious Alert!!
