The Little World

I was attracted to a weblog column that mentioned a famous British modeller – Phil Flory –  and his video productions.

The chap who wrote the column from the US was not at all pleased with Phil, and made his unhappiness evident. I was not convinced by it…it seemed to have a ring of spite. However I decided to look at some of the other posts on his blog.

Many had titles that seemed to refer to scale modelling, but then veered off into social issues and the mechanics of human interaction. Then a few of the topics listed on his menu started to deliver me to sites that had nothing to do with him…including ” Congratulations! You are the ten-millionth person to click on this link and you can win…”.

I always turn off these sorts of thing before they overbear me. I do not know if the original blogger has authorised them or has been taken over by remote control, but it really devalues any opinion he may have tried to express.

I shall make my own judgement about the British videos…and in most cases it is certainly favourable. Up until now Phil has not tried to sell me anything that I would not want. And he is highly entertaining.
