Gentlemen, gentlemen I think there is one thing we've overlooked; It's likely only one of the combatants is going to come out of this affair alive with the result that their spoon collection is at some point going to be disposed of by their estate. What sort of impact will a sudden glut of spoonage hitting the market have on values of our own collections? Not good I suspect. Isn't it time wiser heads prevailed and matters can be resolved in a more amicable manner?
If i dont make it I've left strict instructions to my executors to melt down my collection for reuse as a life size statue of myself, spoon akimbo in the classic, Lithuanian "Hunky Dory" pose.It will be placed on a plinth at the gates of my alma mater: Stoke Newington Mixed Infants.
I shall be interested to know if a 'Mercy Pass' will be allowed by the constable.
For those unfamiliar, a dueller having any difficulties after the initial 'Pass' has started, but before the two duellers have been formally introduced, may deliberately swing their spoon far off target as an indication that they are asking for mercy. If their opponent sees that mercy has been asked for, they are expected to pull their spoon off target as well. Due to the limited visibility through the helm the opposing dueller cannot always see that their opponent has asked for a mercy pass.
This can, of course, lead to a 'Mounted Melee' which in a confined space, such a stadium, when combat and hunt-based skills lead to injury and death.
That aside, I am looking forward to the day.

If course you're right about both the spoons and the possibility of a dissembowelment by spoon, however..........It's a fight, everybody likes a good fight!!!!!

Don't worry, wrvs, I have already asked Blib if I can have his spoon collection when he shuffles off this mortal coil in the next few days. I undertake to keep the entire portfolio together as one, apart from some of the more recent Krupp crap, which I shall have smelted and cast into wing'd horses of chavtat and sold on popular auction site.
Be assured, the market will remain stable.

Certainly not. I've forsaken Saturday Kitchen to come over and have a look at this Just a thought chaps before this duel takes place, you are licensed to own these particular spoons aren't you, along with the usual requirements for secure storage in a locked cabinet bolted to the wall?
Would hate for the constable to stop the match on a paperwork technicality, it would be extremely dreary.

I doubt very much if Blib has any paperwork for his spoons, you do realise where some of his items come from don't you?
ALL of my paperwork got destroyed in that very timely, but unfortunate warehouse fire that occurred when I was very far away, staying with witnesses, I mean staying with friends.........Umm, hate to bring this up but when Blib loses and his disembowelled corpse is left to rot, who’s responsible for cleaning up the mess?
I know the law is a bit vague on this and allows for duel ‘of the spoon’ to take place on common land but surely being public land, one of us should take responsibility?
I’ll be resplendent in my authentic Puritan outfit with matching stove pipe hat so obviously it can’t be me.
Will someone step up?

Don't worry, this guy and his mates will sort it...I know the law is a bit vague on this and allows for duel ‘of the spoon’ to take place on common land but surely being public land, one of us should take responsibility?

Carrion regardless.
