The new week sees the Gorse Fox working in Sussex today. The adminisphere is at the forefront of GFs mind as he ploughs on through the day.

GF notices a headline on BBC News online Parents back knives ban. It is not remarkable in itself. It is more a case of wondering whether it's news.
What's the alternative? and GF's mind started to wander:

• Parents encourage the carrying of knives
• National curriculum extended to cover knife combat
• Child receives throwing stars with marked homework
• The GCSE Biology practical includes stitchwork
• Marks & Spencer introduce thermal knife vests for the under fives
• ITV introduces new reality show "Knife Swap"
• A friendly shop near Datchet opens a website TheMerryKnivesofWindsor.co.uk
• Scar music becomes popular
• A old band rebrands itself, led by Mick Dagger
• Stilletto heels become a tradeable commodity (beyond Essex)
• A boy scout is arrested for wounding within tent
