A pair of pike

[wisewood]

Sorry - it's the start of the poem 'Pike' by Ted Hughes which captures the essence of pike rather well I think (as do your carvings). It was one of my GCSE English set texts rather a long time ago and sprang to mind when I saw them.

I've heard that Mark Bolam's been been proposed for Culture. So unless you can quote that, stood on your head whilst chugging a keg of Belgian beer and "smashing the dips"? (and probably doing something else with a grin on your face:biggrin:)

 

Don't bother, you'll lose your deposit:lol:

I can probably do most of that; all of it in fact except the dips bit. Dairy intolerance means he'll take me out at the cheese and chive. I shall retire to the back benches and heckle.
