Like the product reviews of this swiss army penknife on amazon:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Wenger-19201-Swiss-Army-Knife/dp/B000R0JDSI/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1361998843&sr=8-10

On the whole, this is an excellent tool and has helped on many routine tasks around the house, including eavesdropping on GCHQ, performing a minor appendectomy on the dog, and serving as a temporary RSJ when a simple DIY project to remove what I thought was a non-structural wall went awry. It also paid for itself very quickly after I heated it up and inserted it briskly into the rear end of the 100:1 outsider for the 3:15 at Epsom. This was much more successful than my first attempt on the 2:30 when I had neglected to fold away the spiky bits first.

....

My missus tripped over and landed on this, and I had a right job of getting the bits of flesh and blood out of it.
To make matters worse, coming back from the funeral, I backed my car over it and had to buy a new tyre:-(

.....


Until an iPad is added to this tool then it remains completely pointless (apart from all the pointy bits attached)

......

Warning...The "YouTube" App doesn't work. However the Engine Timing Strobe is very useful.
I would like to have seen an anchor or Fishing Landing Net incorporated.

Unlike the others reviews on here i actually did purchase this fantastic product, i am an outdoor enthusiast with plenty of experience in swiss army knives! I bought this item as i was goin to canada on a back pack adventure with my friend but on my first night of camping in the canadian wilderness i managed to bump into a crazy grizzly bear on heat who wanted my irish buttocks for sex! But i wipped out my giant swiss army knife and used the scissors 2 give him a well needed trim and used my nail file tool 2 give the bear a pedicure then i used my bottle opener and give the bear a well deserved bottle of beer! Now the bears married to my sister and we get along fine thanks to the wengers giant swiss army knife!

.....

i am regular serving in the swiss army,and i have much very experiance of this equipment.I think it standard issue now 4 years long ago. when my platoon saw active duty and came under enemy fire our training manual shows how we to build a wall of the giant knifes and hide behind them ,they are virtually bullet proof it says, invaluable, unless you are seprate from platoon then they are next to useless.to small to offer viable cover.The manual says in this situation run or hide behind big solid things

.....

... I had to use this, for self defence the other day, after 5 minutes of dodging the scoundrels blows, in an attempt to find a knife attachment, I decided to just bludgeon him with it, instead

Been going through some family photos recently, scanning some for my sister.
20 years ago, my father was a dead ringer for Paul Sorvino, circa Goodfellas and Law & Order.  Now he looks like Tommy Lee Jones. 

Wonder how the fuck I'll turn out.  Ugh.

Be the change you want to something or other, ish ? 

Shaddup.

I took the bottles in to the recycling depot today.  I feel like I've accomplished a lot.  Now to relax on the couch for a while.

I'm in the office, trying to get work cleaned up before holidays.

I'll be in the office shortly myself.  Saturdays and Sundays are the last bastion of still letting me come in after noon.

I have become old.  I now prefer to come in early, so that I can leave by noon and still get stuff done.

Besides, there is a Jets game tonight to watch.

There is something wonderfull about leaving work before 3pm while knowing you've put a full day of work.

Why is it, come tax time, there's always one form I can never find? Bloody T3.

  And you can leave while there is no rush hour traffic.

Downside of course is getting up at 5-6am.

And while you saps work, I took a 2 hour nap. Suckers.
