not for me, no, I disagree with all stirring aids - up to and including auto-stir, rotation-guidance, cadence management software, variable flange technology, 'active-vortex' (or similar), Anti-Splash (tm), Spoon-2-Stirrer infrastructure etc - on a moral basis, almost on a religious basis

I would know
Herr Krupp himself would know
Jah know

peace out

Couldn't agree more. It's taking the joy out of it. Where's the fun in thinking you've got a perfect swirl, when in reality the variable flange is working all the time in the background to cover your mistakes?

They're great if you're a mediocre stirrer and want to feel like a hero. But real afficionados should stick to nothing more than a shaft, a bowl, a finely honed flange, and some delicate wrist action.

Whisper it. But there's rumours that the 2021 Berlin Scweinsctirrerflagelerhoff will include a low carbon, hybrid class in order to capitalise on the spoons coming out of Silicon Valley......

Such a damned shame.

I can't believe this chap is using what looks like an Admiralty 1778 WD pattern 3 for this...

Neil Chambers has the original spoon that Aldrin used to eat his porridge with on the moon.

I think the spoon was made by Omega and the model was a Spoonmaster (b)

Yep, 321 calibre, also known as the 'Dusty Bin'.

I think an update on my Olander 'King Gustavio' vs waste disposer tribulation is in order. Following the traumatic incident and efforts to obtain repair and repatination which were completed in January, the spoon won it's class in the Uppsala conference earlier this month.

Competition was intense, the Earl of Frizington had his eleven times winner on display - suffering from, I considered, a degree of tanninicity a little too pronounced. The judging panel agreed, and I prevailed.

A tribute to the restorer, who I will refrain from naming on ethical grounds.

I can't believe Aldrin ate Neil Chambers porridge and lived to die another day!

A replica was used in many scenes in the TV show " Ted Rogers in the 25th Century"

Anyway, we digress from teaspoons to small-scale dessert spoons...

Rumours coming from Krupp HQ that they had already manufactured some 2018 World Cup Winners spoons late last week and are hurriedly trying to recover them from retail outlets after shipping them (too) early.

[Butter Face]

Hmmm, yes I saw them on Gumtree today. Certainly piqued my interest!



I’ve sent my least favourite butler to collect.

Seems genuine enough.

[Butter Face]

Well yes. I await the influx of naysayers

I’ll update when Claude gets back, should be any time now.

[SCEtoAUX]

Checkout the naievity on the WWII Steel thread.

I don't want to sound like a naysayer. But, I say Nay!

[55palfers]

Fool and his money.....

I don't want to say too much on an open forum but, someone in that thread has mentioned something which I think could well lead us to the reported horde of pre-war teaspoons that have long been rumoured to exist somewhere in former Nazi territory.

I plan to go and visit the site over the summer with my inadequate ground-penetrating radar imager, a boroscope that isn't long enough to see down any hole that I dig, and a bucketful of British optimism overlayed with all the false jeopardy of an American documentary series.

Who's in?

Don't pack the EU plug adapter for the metal detector battery charger we need to ramp up the tension and I think it will need a late-night scramble to German Tesco to buy one "before we run out of time"

[Hugo a Gogo]

A. No Tesco in Germany
B. You won't find a UK-to-EU adapter in Germany

As you were...

As most of you know I have been running the annual CRC credits for industrial and commercial use of spoons since 2012.

Whilst this has given me a sense of purpose over the last years and kept me mostly on the straight and narrow I have to confess that my widely known spoon wastage has returned.

In the last 2 weeks I’ve been driving to the local ASDA and buying hordes of cheap cutlery which include spoons.

I then drive home at night with the windows open blasting Enya’s ‘sail away’ on repeat whilst throwing the cutlery out the window.

I am reaching out here and would appreciate any help whatsoever.

Thanks all
