Title: inca/myan temple
Post by: mart678 on 24 June 2014, 04:15:46 PM
Hi everyone

Was in Willkie's today and in the kids toys they have for £1 a sand castle mould of a Myan/inca temple would need a bit of detailing but for £1 who could complain, you could always use it as a mould and cast a city,  also a coliseum and Greek temple but they where not as good

Hope it helps

No respect for the venerable elder on this site. Remember this when age silvers o'er your shaggy heads, boys. No, I'm not being sexist; Marie has always been supportive and polite.

Venerable elder? You're a mere stripling, boy. You wait until the knees start to creak.  ;)

Mine have creaked since a climbing accident* in the early 90s when I was 17! Has made descents from mountains painful ever since, liker someone is sticking a knitting needle behind my kneecaps.  :P


*Pendulum off an overhand whilst leading an E1 5c, swung over the overhang, lost grip, rope took my weight as I plummeted downwards and my knees contacted the lower rockface first (I was upside down at the time)!  :o

Sounds like you were bloody lucky not to be free climbing there, Mad Lemmy  :o

At least you still have knees and a life  :-bd :-bd

Back on track, I'd be tempted by the Greek/Roman-ish stuff...

I'm still wondering who/ what/ where Wilkie's is. Never heard of them. Are they only around south of Hadrian's Wall/ West of The Pond/ South of the Equator? Only found in out of town shopping malls? New and/ or a rebrand of a retailer I would have heard of?

Enquiring minds want to know ...

Funny you should say that, Ithoriel, but there don't seem to any down here either.

Thanks again from Mr Unobservant

Probably because you weren't looking out for their "fabulous range of handbags, scarves & much more". I guess it's a different Wilkie's. But if you fancy any Old Guys Rule menswear, you know where to go.
