    Most unusual knife design you own?

    These days it is the "Aitor Jungle King" hollow handle "Survival Knife" ... the thing with built in catapult etc etc ... I own it but never have used it - the wobble in the blade to hollow handle joint is enough to discourage use! I actually bought it as a joke :)

    So what do you all drink these days?

    For me it depends who is buying.... At home - Red Wine or single malt whisky Isay for first choice but only when on offer! On camp - Beer, Speckled Hen or Hobgoblin, Whisky, Rum or home made/flavoured Vodka and home made/blended Port Substitute. Or whatever is being shared by others :)

    Fish Friday.

    I am not a fan of fish - I avoid it all except the very occasional bit of cod from a chippy, anchovies on a pizza, smoked salmon or super fresh calamari.

    Stars in the sky
