A couple of years ago i bought a forged flint striker. I never used it much, preferring a lighter or firesteel, but as i had the day off i thought i would play in the garden with it. I was striking it vigorously as it was never great for sparks and it snapped in half. i know there used to a few...

I have been in many places, but I've never been in Cahoots. Apparently, you can't go alone. You have to be in Cahoots with someone. I've also never been in Cognito. I hear no one recognises you there. I have, however, been in Sane. They don't have an airport; you have to be driven there. I have...
