The Hunt for the Patent Oyster...
...La lucha continua! (The struggle goes on).
This is a follow-on from the original piece on the site about patent oyster openers. The reason for these kitchen and similar pieces is that I'm going into hospital on the 11th of next month for a possibly life-threatening operation (6.5% mortality rate, though I should be a good deal better placed than that) and I've decided just to enjoy myself for a few weeks. Cheers, R.

^Delightfully witty . As a motorcyclist , I'd say these are pretty good odds .(I'll even concede that a BMW is a motorcycle ) . Have a completely uneventful hospital stay .

These product tests are always interesting, I wait impatiently for the final discussion. As for the hospital; after eating Oysters you should be mentally ready. Best wishes on your hopefully short stay there.
P.S. I agree with you on the blue garlic press. |

Roger,
As for your planned medical procedure; May you come through this high on the positive side of the percentages. As for oyster openers, I have used a simple blade for over 60 years. They just do the job. Best Regards, Gerry On the Pacific side of the USA

Best wishes and a bucket of Cheers! Rick

Just don't eat any the night before your operation. You don't want the doctors mistaking them for something else.
 Also make sure your doctors weren't involved in any of those 6.5% cases. Wishes for a speedy recovery to you, good sir. PF
