There's no need to be elitist about teaspoons. After all, what is the teaspoon at heart but a malformed dessert spoon.

Up the dessert spoons! down with the spoon of tea! Big it up for the spork and the ladle!

Reported.

you spoonistas, so ready to stir the pot of malcontent and disharmony. That one would take the 'umble stick with a bowl on the end of it as an artefact more sacred than Hans Solo's codpiece is a poor reflection of our seemingly less tolerant times.

Now, if we were talking sugar tongs i'd understand, but shame, twice shame and a plague of EPNS spoons upon your houses.

I have a collection of tablespoons you might be interested in, pm me your details as due to the subject matter and the way our type of spoon is frowned upon we best keep it away from this thread.

Sorry it's too late, I've already gouged my eyes out with my finest George I dog nose teaspoon

No problem I'll leave this thread now but I'd just like to say before I go that you'll never get a decent tune out of a pair of teaspoons, tablespoons however once tuned and in the hands of an accomplished musician can get the dancing started at any high class establishment.

You're right - tablespoons have always been the 'blunt instruments' of flatware. You'll get a good tune out of them, just like Stomp get a good tune out of dustbin lids and oil drums but I ask you, would you sip a cup of Ancient Lotus Green after it had been in contact with a dustbin lid!?

Please indulge your heathen desires in a more suitable environment! Perhaps, [sneer] General Gassing?

I thought you were banned! When did they give you back posting rights?
If none of us found your spork related outbursts funny the first time, why bother again?

I wasn't going to reply but you've forced my hand. I find it very strange that you can mock my fondness for tablespoon playing and then admit to listening to Stomp.

Check out the works of 'Three Spoon Charlie' It'll bring a tear to your eye.

Did Lance Armstrong give up at the first failed dope test? No. Did Eddie the Beagle wince the first time he got kicked in the Trossacks? Nope. Did the Skoda driver not steel his mettle and gird his loins when the Estelle was replaced as the butt of all jokes by the 1.6SE Audi? nope.

Fortitude and determination dear fellow, fortitude and determination. The spork will conquer all!

a little teaser from pre-season testing

as you can see, it's pretty full-on

[Blib]

What a lovely photo on your mug, Hugo. I wonder whatever happened to the delightful couple pictured?



Scrub that, I've just noticed!

<rushesofftoebay>

[Pints]

It looks like that teabag was squeezed. That tea has been tannin tainted.

[Hugo a Gogo]

my my, your deductive mind has indeed shown it's amazing capacity

(it's Aldi instant coffee - full-on testing of ALL conditions)

[55palfers]

Should there be a cup & mug detailing thread?

[marshalla]

That's going to cause pitting and could put the primary flange out of alignment.

destruction testing. As per EUrcSSHg regualtions

Are you seriously suggesting that that is a "calibrated testing vessel conformant to EUrcSSHg standard 785.6" ?

[Hugo a Gogo]

yes, do you honestly imagine Prince Charles would allow his image to be used on anything less?

and our testing partners at VW assured us it would be fine

[marshalla]

785.6 was revised last month and BSSI 712 is no longer compatible. Given the age of that receptacle, it's bound to be 712 compliant and thus about 4 thou' too big for the new standard.

[Hugo a Gogo]

it's been filled and bored out

off centre as well

Oh-ho!

So, you're going for *that* record are you ? Simpkins will be quaking in his boots - well, if he could wear boots he would.
