Apollo 11 mystery error message 1201 or 1202?
I can reveal that on his death bed, Buzz Aldrin revealed to me, by letter, only to be revealed the day after the moon landing 50th anniversary, that this was code between himself and Neil, for how many sugars in their tea he was brewing up for when they landed.
It had to be left that late in the descent for the tea to stay in the teaspaceflyingsaucer and cup.
"1" meant "one" "2" meant "lump" and "0" meant "or".
Interestingly, no one had thought to work out what direction the Corrilis forces would apply when landed on the moon, so whilst Neil calmly stirred clockwise infusing tannin with lactic acids and complex carbohydrates and achieved a perfect brew, "Bugger-it Buzz" stirred the wrong way and ejected his onto his saucer, which then slipped out over the CO2 scrubber canister spare supply, the damage not being found until the later mission Apollo "Thirst-tea" 13.
17:29 Edited on advice of the Feds.

Did his death bed confession not tell you that he's still alive and well?

Yeah, that is what the Feds said, hence the 17:29 edit.
They think I might have been conned by 'Yuri Gaggarinforacuppa' in an attempt to obtain Western Excellence of Leaf Brewing.
Well making tea with potatoes was never going to work and did you see the size of that vostolov spoon can't remember the model number but just pathetic.They think I might have been conned by 'Yuri Gaggarinforacuppa' in an attempt to obtain Western Excellence of Leaf Brewing.

Yes but you must remember for every Krupp built, 15 Vostolovs leave the factory doors; if it comes down to a spoon contest of attrition there will only be one winner. Quantity has a quality all of its own, as someone once said.55palfers said:

Just an interesting bit of spooning related Papal trivia for the enthusiast.
It is a little known fact that since the days of Pius the VI, the forehead of a recently deceased Pope is sharply tapped three times with this spoon to prove he is in fact dead.
The ceremony of "Dura ledo eius caput, cochleari" is performed within one hour of his last observed breath by the most senior Cardinal present in The Vatican

Nope. You are wrong, Nerdherder. 
He is not stirring tea, he is testing the latest batch of sacramental wine from the St. Emilion Estate before giving his approval for it to be laid down in the Vatican wine cellars and approving the bulk purchase via Papal Paypal.
Of course, Blib has the final say.
Papal Paypal. Good and enjoyable retort.In fact The Papa is drinking Mate Yerba tea here through a traditional stirring+drinking tea straw known otherwise as a Bombilla. It’s an Argentinian thing.

Sincerest apologies for messing with the regular teaspooning. Let the normal programme resume please.

A quick question for other spoonista's when you partner wants to "spoon" in bed do you ask what make and model to get the knee angle correct?
Look, this is a serious thread about tea spoons and competitive stirring.There's really no need, NoNeed, no need at all to be derailing it with frippery.

I usually let her borrow one of my non-competition cup\saucer combinations and something from the lower end of the Maddy&Prior Junior rangeI'm not getting the bedding all wet with messing about ...
ETA - with apologies to Blib. I didn't take it as a flippant question.

No further punishment required I shall self flagellate.
As a side note were you ok with my use of the Americanised spoonista only like burglarized I quite like it.

Hear, Hear. The standards of our craft are important and must be maintained.I am just back from a satisfying luncheon.
The couple on the table next to us actually shared a spoon to stir their postprandial beverage instead of summoning the waiter to deliver a suitable spoon for each diner.
My felicitous intervention regarding polite behaviour was met with disdain and cries of "You drunken old soak, stop looking at my girlfriends tits"
Tut. The youth of today

I was going to venture up to Scotland to look at the spoon but decided not to after seeing the review on Spoonadviser that simply said - let doon by the spoon o' Troon.
Something has changed. I visited in 2017, and the spoon was magnificent in every way.I fear the curator, McPhail, may have been replaced by someone less touched by genius.
