Aaaah... like an old friend back from the wilderness... my favourite topic has surfaced again... Pikes, pike rot, pike painting, pike points, pike length, number of pikes, pikeys, fresh water pike, Private Pike, Pike's privates, turnpikes...
That a length of wood with a sharp bit on the end could be the subject of such discussion, interest arguments...
How many times has the sharp end of a pike gone where the blunt end should have ought to!
Hooray for the Pike I say, Hooray!
