Several points:

1.  So when people went out for a picnic they deliberately didn't 
choose an area with a spring close by?  I think that bubbly water is 
perfectly reasonable under certain circumstances.

2.  I'm sure you're all going to sit on me for this, but my favourite 
knife is a Mundial, which doesn't even complain after cutting up a 
whole sheep into manageable bits.

3.  Do people think that a small amount of tact is called for 
occasionally?  I mean, I know that there are half-a-dozen or so 
'important' people on the list, and the rest of us aren't, but do we 
really have to be squashed quite so heavily?  Self-esteem isn't 
always that easy to come by.

4.  Can anyone help with documentation for haybox cookery?  Seems 
like a good thing to use for no-fire picnic events, but I'd like to 
have documentation.

5.  The only eel we've had to deal with (and it lasted about 6 meals 
for the pair of us) was not electric in any way (are there multiple 
species of eel, apart from fresh/salt water?  Maybe I should ask my 
zoologist husband).  It did, however, die very hard.  We ended up 
using an axe and hoping none ofthe neighbours was watching...
