You could always use the pink one to finish off your opponent.
In honourable circles it is one of the principles who delivers the Coup de Grace. I am merely the Invigilator de le Code de la Duello.

There are some friends and family tickets. You qualify, surely? For those who don't I would advise acquiring a Press Pass.
Hopefully the Press Pass will be laminated. Blib is known to get a little splashy under pressure. Iam looking forward to viewing this ( from a safe distance)

Hence my request to use Korean, buttock-airing pantaloons during the preliminaries.

One duelling spoon has so far been located.



I was hoping for something a little more Claymore-esque but one has to play the hand one is dealt.
No way am I using that! Look at the return flange. It could take an eye out!

My dear Pushfit, I've told you before:

It's CDO.

Of course, I'm sorry good Sir. I do beg your pardon.
I was temporarily distracted by a telephone call from a local worthy who would very much like to attend this impending débacle dawn confrontation.
I can neither confirm nor deny that.it was the Chief Constable.

Anyway, in your elected role as Invigilator, you could always hold the pink spoon in reserve and hand it to the last man standing to administer the final Coup de Cuillėre.

What is the medium and format of the duel?

Are we breaking from the traditional stirring of lukewarm bitumen with the resultant winner using his weapon to flick the boiling version at his opponent, or is it a hark back to the original of fast karate chop onto the handle to lob hot coals?

I must say our Engineer is a bit tardy.

Hes probably asleep somewhere he does like a snooze after the usual lunchtime 5 pints with chasers

Good evening chaps, my fellow residents from the Trivial Thread requested that I attended and examine the dueling spoons with a view to balancing them for best use, I have bought a small piece of equipment which needs a stable power supply and a flat surface.

I find it best for the owners of the dueling spoons not to present when I inspect, balance and stress relieve said spoons, it can be a little, upsetting for them when the sparks start to fly!!!

We can rig up the UPS but will the rear of the Hudson Terraplane do as a flat surface? I’ve spent many a night there after an evening at the Ferret & Trouser and it seems flat apart from the propshaft tunnel but I’m taking a hammer to that as we speak

Oh yes, he does love his chasers!

He likes to be chased but not chaste, IYSWIM.

But a fine engineer nonetheless.
He's had accolades, you know. bow

And recognition for services rendered.

And he's been featured on page 3 of "Engineering Solutions" monthly for three weeks running.

And one week lying down having a rest. sleep

What a guy!

It wouldn't surprise me if one or both protagonists turned up with their spoon converted into one of these.



I believe they are referred to as 'shanks' in prison vernacular.

I believe he’s over them now, what with the antibiotics and all.

That and sitting on a rubber ring for a week.

He was also the centre spread for the Dreamysnooze Matresses Autumn Catalogue.

In 1994.

1995 actually!!

Right, I have sited my CNC grinding machine, it has been plugged in, and bolted on to the Terrorplane seated on a suitable, stable flat surface, I now require all spoons which are to be used for this duel to be handed to me where they'll be weighed, x-rayed, treated to a penetrant dye crack detect process, prodded and poked, balanced, wibbled, wibbled, de-stressed, case hardened, ground, earthed, winded and fired, polished, buffed and finally locked in an air tight box until the time and place when they are to be used!!!!

Then i'm afraid i shall have to refer you to the Spoon Dueling Guild for infringement of rule 11, clause 3.2.8, to whit:-
"All dueling spoons shall be weighed, checked, balanced and generally handled with gay abandon by a qualified Spoon setter on the eve of a duel, after which they will be interred in an airtight box/safe/vault/sandwich bag (delete as applicable) until the morning of the aforementioned duel, failure to submit your spoon for the prior mentioned stuff will result in either/or/all of the following:- Permanent disbarment from the spooning guild, Removal of the spoon from your person by force, Forfeiture of the duel thus rendering you a laughing stock, Destruction of the offending spoon by smelting and turning into paperclips, and in the very worst of cases, Being forced to surrender your spoon to your opponent and being made to watch as they fondle it in a lascivious manner!!!"
I await your decision, sir.

Blib, I think you should be aware that Palfers has got his out already... and he looks like he means business!
