What is the best brand of pocket knifes?

what do you think of chapter 1 on my book?

its about this girl called Andy who breaks up with her boyfriend (i thought it was clever because it starts off right in the middle of the story if you know what i mean) so her and her best friend and a couple of friends make a hate band forrr revengeee. They win the talent show and consequently get tickets to perform in glasto. However she ends up falling in love with another boy, having to choose between her mums wedding or going to glasto and finding out a secret about her past that could break his world or put it back together again.

its called the Broken Heart Club band however i just realised i got it from Good luck charlie without knowing where i heard the name fro!! So i need another title please!! here is the first chapter:

I don’t know how it happened or what kind of deal was made but i live in East London. Not west london or nottinghill where all the cool kids live and the indie rockers. East, where all the chavs and drunk men decide parading around and puking in the streets is okay. I reckon, hope is the only way of surving a place like this. Unless of course, your a beer loving old man, a hobo, underage and pregnant, carry a knife in your pocket,a Primark addict, – then my part at least of east london may just be your soulmate. But if your like me and have a music crush on 42 year old man, your second best friend is your guitar, you like indie/ rock music and you have green paint in your hair then yes hope is your only way of surving in this giant cheese ball of boringgg.

I don’t know what it is about the first day of school, but I always get slightly cheerful about going to class. Maybe it’s anticipating a young, sexy trainee teacher or some foreign exchange student named Pierre, appearing in the hallways. I always wake up with a smile and thoughts of happiness and rainbows.

By the end of the school day it becomes painfully obvious Pierre will not be riding in on a baguette to save me from utter boredom, once again. And that infact this is my life. Music. Photos. Kiera. Rupert.

My sister runs up to me. Marcie. She has green hair. she is 11. Nuff’ said.

"Oh hey there sister, the phone was ringing, I think it was your boyfriend Rupert but i was dressing up Mandy."

"Whos Mandy?"

"My cat."

"We don’t have cat…"

"I know." She smiles and skips away.

I notice she is holding a tutu and my baby flip flops. I feel very sorry for that cat.

I press 1471 on the phone and get the answerphone.

"Oh and Andy," My sister calls from the living room"

"uh huh, " i say trying to listen to the automated voice.

"I think I saw your boyfriend kissing that Ronnie girl."

what is the best way to clean old pocket knife blades?

I have an old German Eye three blade pocket knife that my dad carried for some time and then gave to me. the knife is still in great shape and opens with ease, its just that the blades have some blackish grey haze and smudges on them that looks like it should scratch off but does not. if its do difficult to clean i can deal with it because it gives the knife character, otherwise i would like to shine them up a bit. any suggestions much appreciated.

Need help with craft show display?

My sister and I are doing a craft show in a couple of weeks. I sell printed & framed cartoon and name prints (12" x 15"), she sells handmade soap and pocket knives – strange mix, yes, but she has two websites. We will be at different tables but neither of us can determine the best way to arrange our tables. We need a way of creating shelves on the tables to display our items, we cannot afford to buy that fancy, collapsable shelving that is so commonly seen.

For me I was thinking of putting my framed prints in a plate holder, the kind used for decorative plates. She has thought about a spice rack of sorts.

Hoping that someone with a little more creativity and know-how might be able to provide some advice.

Thanks!

What is the best pocket knife?

an all purpose knife

I think someone is in my house?

Anyone who hasnt read my previous question do so before commmenting on this one. I think what my best bet to do is get my shoes on so i can run and kick harder if need be. Also take my pocket knife with me just in case. If i actually did get in a fight i think i could kill the person. But that is easier said than done. I know clapping someones ears can cause extreme pain and no sight for a little. Also i would palm them in the nose which the fight would be over then. But idk if they moght have a gun or some sort of knife. I dont know if anyone is even here or not but idk what the heck the noises would be. Its not a ghost or a pet. Idk what to do. If someone has a better plan for me please answer. Thanks.

To all those involved in the UK riots?

Im not going to even bother degrading you and telling you how pathetic you are cause you a do a perfect job of that just by being who you are.

But seriously, what is wrong with you people?

Obviously you weren’t raised accordingly and your futures looks dull at best, but growing up did you envision yourself being a stupid moron who associates themselves with other morons who think they are the kings of the world who can do what they want and spend their lives like criminal rejects of society who are looked down upon by the world?

This world doesn’t belong to anyone, certainly not to you lowlifes, we all live together and you’re pathetic actions make life difficult for others.

Think your bad? Gangster? Why people?
Cause you wear a hoodie and walk in gangs? Cause you carry a knife in your back pocket?
Cause you smoke and sell drugs? Cause you purchased a gun?

No, you’re all just a bunch of cowards who think being in a gang makes you tough, just a puss* holding a weapon.

You have one life, one chance, why waste it?
They are, not all of them but most of them are.

They spend the day acting like gangsters, then at night they come home before their curfew.
It’s just normal youths who think they are bad.
So they switch on the news and watch the carnage they took part in and feel proud about it, like a ego thing.
The articles and shiz, act high mighty about their handiwork.

It’s 12 am here, so most of these so called bad boys are either in bed already or on facebook and shiz bragging about what they done, even if its just one of those moron who reads this, its cool.

what is wrong with my best friend?

I know for sure he has paranoia. Hes always looking over his shoulder, he says hes just making sure no one around him looks suspicious, or that no one is following him. He also insists on taking a pocket knife with him everywhere he goes, and I mean EVERYWHERE, just incase something happens.

He has other symptoms, and im not sure if they all tie into whatevers going on, but he has very bad trust issues, insomnia, and a terrible memory. Ive read before that lack of sleep, or more sleep, and memory tie into it, though im not sure. As for the trust issues, he says he doesnt trust many people, and really only talks to friends, though when hes around his friends hes very outgoing.

But im really worried about him, and he refuses to go to a doctor. Any of ideas as to what might be going on, or is it just tieing into the paranoia?
Phil – Thats the thing, no one is out to get him. Hes worried someone will be, or will try to hurt him.

my best friend may have paranoid schizophrenia?

I know for sure he has paranoia. Hes always looking over his shoulder, he says hes just making sure no one around him looks suspicious, or that no one is following him. He also insists on taking a pocket knife with him everywhere he goes, and I mean EVERYWHERE, just incase something happens.

He told me that one night he just broke down because he was positive someone, (he didnt tell me who) was going to kill him. We were talking about it, and he was thinking he might also have schizophrenia. Now, I dont know much about it, but I thought it was mostly a fear of people around them. Which he isnt…hes very talkative and outgoing with people. Though if hes in a group of people, and he only knows one or two of the people, he will stick with talking to just them.

I dont know if this has anything to do with it, because its mostly normal, but he has major trust issues. Hes said before that there arent many people he can trust, though I know that he has a bad relationship with his parents. Another thing is that he has insomnia. Again, not sure if it matters. Im just pretty worried about him. He said its getting worse but refuses to go to a doctor. Do you think hes schizophrenic? And without going to a doctor…how can I help him?
Hes 16, if that helps at all.
