They stir the tea or coffee
Who let in the heathen Next he’ll be saying he doesn’t believe in the need for the stirring vortex rhythm as discovered and refined by S.Cinoist in the spring of 1623 - where’s my torch and pitchfork!
Rumour has it his loins are stirred by a certain Parliamentary type. To quote his previous post "plain and heavy"

I find the Giannelli Stirrosa MkIV simply unbeatable - solid platinum, handmade in Florence since 1897, and really not that expensive when you factor in the depreciation of stainless steel, and their appreciation as a collectors item.
I send them off to Italy once a year to be polished, and paid £600 for a set of 3 in 1995, with a lifetime warranty. Still look as good as new. I wouldn't have any other spoons in my kitchen.
Sorry to dig up an old post, but I’ve been having my Giannelli serviced by Martin Packsure of Packsure and Maurizio Ltd off Old Bond Street, London. These old fellas know a thing or two about luxury teaspoons and have worked in many of the finest Italian spoon studios of Florence and Milan. Worth speaking to them for both servicing and rare finds. http://www.spoonitalia.comI send them off to Italy once a year to be polished, and paid £600 for a set of 3 in 1995, with a lifetime warranty.

ks"I was walking past a cafe this morning, sitting at one of the tables outside enjoying the autumn sun was an elderly gentleman .
Something caught my eye though, he was stirring his tasty hot beverage with what looked like a common or garden M series Krupp teaspoon.
Nothing extraordinary about that i hear you say, it is after all the 'work slag ' of teaspoons , however, the vortex he was achieving with such a basic tool was nothing short of spectacular.

The chap i saw was wearing a fez ,but the tassel on it was gold. A gold tassel may signify some higher state of spooner?
NDA may be a good for nothing, charlatan poseur, with an inferiority complex, (no offence intended). But, he does know his Ottoman stirrers.Maybe, he knows who this mystery fez wearer is?

Sounds like Ferdinand De Sootre (known as Sooty amongst non-spoon aficionados), was he also monocled with an intricately engraved silver leaf cigarillo case strewn jauntily on the table?Maybe, he knows who this mystery fez wearer is?

You have just described the bloke i saw, i guess it must have been him then. Since i'm a rank amateur spoonest i did not recognise Mr Sootre, but if i had known who it was i would have shaken his hand ( even though my wrist suffered an injury after stirring anti clockwise for a bet ) NDA said:
Sounds like Sooty. One armed?
Yes, he's known for creating vortices of tsunamic proportions even in the most dense liquids using his over-developed one armed under grip. You were wise not to shake his hand.
He's been out of competition for a long time now.
I remember seeing Sooty stir for the first time, he really is an expert of unparalleled ability IMO. He made a clean sweep at the competition I saw him at a few years back, he did have a run in with someone who claimed the markings on his Krupp were incorrect for the year Yes, he's known for creating vortices of tsunamic proportions even in the most dense liquids using his over-developed one armed under grip.

I remember him saying he would sue.The other guy was pretty butch, claimed to be from Ramsbottom and was stood there just eating scampi!
Can’t remember his name, harry? Matthew?
Anyway. Nice chap.

You lot probably have plastic cutlery in the ward you occupy
My ward uses nothing but the finest Croatian or Siamese stirring implements and if she dares embrace plastic or dare I even suggest wooden stirrer devices she shall be stricken from all inheritance forthwith! Badvok said:
I found these in a small shop in Normandy, among them was a genuine Louis Pompidou
No way is any of that lot Genuine, you can tell from the "engraving" that they are all Chinese ebay knock offs.....Its this proliferation that make me consider liqudating my substantial collection before the market collapses inwardly...
And I speak as on owner of 3 Gerogi Morbidelli Italian masterpieces - amongst others.....
