But I don't want sharp water.

We've been scouring the shops looking for a pair of split-rings big enough to fit over a thumb (mine). Factor in the undisputed fact that I'm a knifoholic and every time I pass a display of knives I'm forced to stop and peruse them and you get a Blip like this.

I recently bought a set of 3 ''Damask'' layered knives which have now reached a stage where an accidental contact breaks skin and draws blood, but I still stop for an ogle at virtually every knife display I see.
This is another of those I just couldn't resist.

There are times when I, seriously, wonder if English is my native tongue. I heard a bloke on Radio 4 today talking about the '' Troop withdroral'' from Afghanistan. That's not my native language.
