I've heard on the grapevine (don't ask how I got onto it in the first place, nasty business) that a well known and well respected spoonist may be retiring from all competitive spooning this week and moving into alternative cutlery based competition. I'm not naming any names but needless to say he is of Arabic origin and his name is well known throughout the European spooning scene...

The chap who punched a fellow spooner in the chops because his dinner was late? There's an online outcry to reinstate him but the sport is better off without him and his two scripted sidekicks.
No that's not the one, that's all an outcry about nothing it seems. The gentleman I refer to apparently used to be a woman... But I've said too much.

Oh come one - surely even you can see that those are cheap "replicas" of the real thing.
Exactly, 18/0 blend? I'm no Republican but this does seem to smack of "this'll do for the proles" a little. Pretty disrespectful unless they're being intentionally ironic if you ask me!Classic Stirring fans might like this.
My father in law, renowned (perhaps infamous) French stirrer Alain Circulare, sadly died last month. We've been sorting through his personal effects and came across his journal from the war years.
In one particularly gripping entry he muses over an impromptu competition he had against Jerry Spoon Hitman, Helmut Kupp (no relation to Krupp) while traveling on a zeppelin between Ulan Batuur and Rangoon.
He describes the elegant dance between them as they unveiled their tools. Kupp showed his hand first with his traveling spoon, a Bonn Javelin Tapered 191. My father in law wasn't anticipating such strong competition so was only packing his Le Tourniquet Fenstrata Number 6.
What followed was something worthy of legend. They worked their way gently through several teas (Kupp's Javelin obviously having a clear advantage in the Lapsang Souchong) and then to some speciality coffees. My FIL surprised everyone when he took the Vienese round and from there the wind fell from Kupp's sails.
Despite being bitter rivals in both Spoonery and war they remained friends until Kupp's death in 1985. He left my FIL several items in his will, one being the very Bonn Javelin Tapered 191 that was the bridge between cultures and was the keystone of their unlikely friendship.

Today, I've been mostly obsessing with this little beauty:

ok, it's modern but anyone can see it draws its cues from past classics.
Also, thought this caused a bit of a stir too...

The Spoon Party have been uncharacteristically silent over this Election.
I have asked all the candidates in my ward on their stance over EU stirring , immigrant spoons, and the provision of beverage agitators on the welfare state and have been met with indifference and distain.
Come the revolution, come the revolution...
