The Game of Thrones reference reminds me that Kit Harington is a keen Spoonist. Him being a scion of the Derby Haringtons.
True.
... which was the entire reason for the feature! Do keep up at the back...True.

I just got back from the China Teaspoon Expo. While browsing the various different stalls i found one that was ' technical innovations'.
Apparently Graphene is going to be the must have materiel used in the construction of the high end spoons. They were only selling spoons in natural Graphene which is transparent ,but i couldn't resist buying one , a future classic?
There are those on here who turn their nose up at transparent spoons, but who can forget the mockery that Christophé Plaget received back in 1789 when he suggested that the newly-discovered Uranium would be element of choice in spoon manufacturing for the best part of the 19th century.

It seems fairly obvious to me that if you combine the graphene molecule
With the sugar molecule ( i.e. using said spoon for stirring hot, sweetened tea)
There will be a reaction causing all the OH bonds to disintegrate and you will be left stirring your tea with this...

Nice, and certainly a fantastic example of what technology can achieve, just like my Ysung-Lu MkIII from a couple of pages back.

In the words of the first man to drink tea stirred with a uranium spoon, ‘I wish I’d used that clear spoon, I don’t half feel peculiar’ There are those on here who turn their nose up at transparent spoons, but who can forget the mockery that Christophé Plaget received back in 1789 when he suggested that the newly-discovered Uranium would be element of choice in spoon manufacturing for the best part of the 19th century.

Disgusted to see people profiteering from Disney's recent launch of Spoonderella, my youngest cried herself to sleep when I told her that I couldn't get her a model for christmas as they'd all sold out instantly. But there's one on a FaceBook group for £750, in Lerwick, new and in the box, which is way over the RRP of this. It's disgusting. No-one should be allowed to do that. Christmas is for kids and we should all be able to enjoy Spoonderella together, without profiteering, the b

I'm taking the day off work to hitch-hike up there with cash on Monday
If you think that's disgusting, watch the scene at the Swiss Ambassador's residence in "The Battle of Britain". The stirring takes place at around 16m 45s and is an affront to the art.ds. I'm taking the day off work to hitch-hike up there with cash on Monday

I tried to get my daughter the "special edition" Little Mix Xmas Spoon (I know, I know), but sold out in about 15 minutes, only to immediately appear on Dexy's Cutlery Auctions site for a £200 mark up. At Christmas too, the utter sharks.
How many people do you think bought these spoons expecting them to be adorned with the faces of Perrie, Jade, Leigh-Anne and Jessie, only to find that they had actually ordered "little" mix(ing) spoons?The Crack Fox said:

Yes, Christmas does seem to be the time for Spoon-profiteering. I remember trying in vain to get a Teletubby 'Tubby Custard' Spoon for a young family member many years back and despairing at the crazy money being asked for them.ds.

Talking of the Krupp 23b , I always remember Lynn Faulds Wood pointing out the potential death trap of using fake Krupp's that were sold at Christmas time.
Everything was a 'potential death trap' to Lynn Faulds Wood; spoons, disco, your own reflection, putting your head in a Lion's mouth. Woman was paranoid. It was a quite-literally fatal mistake to include asbestos with an self-ignition temperate of 50oC in that alloy mix... Oh, how we laughed back then.

Gentleman.
I find myself in Cyprus hot on the trail of the above.
Legended to be the sole survivor from the collection of the Byzantine spoonist Lamboussa of Kyrenia.
My driver is collecting me at 05:00 to rendezvous with the seller ,a confidante of the Patriarchate of Constantinople, the present custodian of the prize.
Wish me luck.
