Ties so far...


Ties rolled up and in line

I hope to save up and be getting a couple more ties soon, i will be getting the Magnoli 'Hechter', the new Magnoli 'Swirly' and the recoloured Magnoli 'Utopia' ties.

The Year is 2013, Time for the 13th Tie...

I'm Sure many of you will of heard about David Tennant returning to Doctor Who in the highly anticipated '50th Anniversary Special'. Now if finding out that my favourite doctor wasn't brilliant enough, we even know what tie he'll be wearing, 6 months in advance!!! This means that i could whip down to my local branch of Debenhams and grab one! I can't believe that we'd figure out which tie it was so quickly and it's amazing that i got an original Tennant Tie as easily as that! And again, if finding it wasn't easy enough, it only cost £14! That's less than half the price of a Magnoli Replica Tie! 

You heard the story, now see the evidence...

Tie 13,  The 50th Anniversary Special St George by Duffer Tennant Tie

I'm still in shock really, i only found out what make the tie was yesterday and before i knew it I was in the Mens Tie Department fishing behind racks of ties!

It's been a long time...

Sorry for the long wait, i haven't had the time to post anything in a while, but here i go!..

Since i last posted about the Massimo Dutti-like tie, i ordered a Celestial Toystore 11th Hour Sonic Screwdriver Replica, and i have to say, it is tremendous!!! It is smaller than i expected, but not in a bad way, as it actually feels like the real prop, as opposed to and oversized kids toy. But here's me babbling on, you wanna see the pictures right?! And i know a certain doctor-lookalike who wants to see them the most! Well here you go...

As you can see, in my hand it is quite small. I'd say it's closer to the size of the sonic torch than the Character Options Toy version; which seems gigantic when compared to what is the closest thing to what Matt Smith actually used in the 11th hour.
At the moment the batteries in mine are running out and the light and sound is struggling to work, so you have to tap the side to get it to work, but i like it like that cause it's like it was in the 11th Hour: when it wouldn't work properly and Matt Smith had to tap it to get it to work! It might sound weird, but then again so is the Doctor!
