Eowyn "Women of this country learned long ago that those without swords may still die upon them. I fear neither death nor pain." You are Bravery. You are strong against all odds, against all obstacles. You are like Shera, Princess of Power!! (Remember her? 80s cartoon? Heman's check ... never mind.)

Which line from The Two Towers are you?

This means I get a big shiny sword right?

Big shiny sword. Suggest you talk to Iain at Armourclass (http://www.Armourclass.com). There are 2 Iains there but it won't matter too much, they are both competant dwarven metalsmiths. If you can describe it (they like pictures) they can invariably make it and they make good swords. Estimated 3 month waiting list, but this is like the queue at the fish and chip shop, a sign of quality. If you ask them for a "sharp" bear in mind that Gilette ("The best a man can get?" HA!) has nothing on them and it /will/ be more than lethal. Postage to Aus may be a killer (from glasgow, scotland) but so will the contents of the package. (-; Then again, why am I telling *you* this. You are dangerous enough with your bare hands (unless trying to fly like orville (-; after a particularly good (I think we agree on the subjective nature of this word) joke or being mercilessly tickled).

Ooohhh so tempting, have a friend who recently tried to import a small ornamental letter opener and had to fight Customs for quite some time to get her hands on it, just think of what they would say to a bastard sword.

But I'm not ticklish. Really.

They shouldn't have any issues with it, unless owning a sword is not allowed under Oz law? Claim it is sporting equipment (buy a pair, read some old fencing manuals and have a go with a friend), I mean deadly weapons - considering your tkd training, have you got a licence for your hands/feet/sense of humour? (-;

No, what I have is a wide variety of manicure/pedicure products - it's hard to take someone seriously when they own toe separators and bright pink nail polish.

I don't need a licence for my sense of humour but I'm amazed you got yours in through customs - they obviously failed to recognise a weapon of mass destruction when it flashed a cheeky smile at them.
