Jona, I think your Queen was perfectly correct. God bless 'er!
Wonder if she'd appreciate Bill's second-hand pool table (hardly used, I gather).

"Jewelery is no fun."
I couldn't agree more. Daggers ARE lots of fun though. I for one can look at pictures of them for days on end and have to be thrown out of museums at closing time.
I don't see much point in food processers though. I use one decent kitchen knife and the odd fork and can anything a food processer in a time I find perfectly satisfactory.

One year ago, I was looking for my city´s Armoury Museum cataloge (edited in 1983...) and I asked to the girl in charge of the provincial government´s publications library. she said:
-I´m sorry, we haven´t got it. I ´ve searching it for years. Nice schiavona they have there, not?
hock: For those who doesn´t know what´s a schiavona:
![[Image: normal_00484.jpg]](http://www.myarmoury.com/albums/albums/aa_antique/normal_00484.jpg)
It´s a sword used by the eslavon (hence the name) guard of the Dux of Venice...
And the girl is in my fencing club now...learning medieval fencing...

Greg, want me to ask Pam to talk to Valerie about getting you one. :twisted: :lol:
Thanks everyone for your comments and suggestions, i'm planning on somthing real special for her for Christmas.

Quote:Bill thanks for the offer but I don't think a talk would be enough. Not even the threat of a bit of vine staff(sweet talking is useless) action would get her to cough up the cash for THE dagger.

Hey Iagoba,
That sounds like one quality woman!! The only problem is when she gets better than you at the fencing.
