 Can you whistle with your fingers and a broken arm? I'm guessing that if he can no longer use his fingers to whistle then a proprietary whistle would be as much use as an Italian captain on a sinking ship.

Kitchen roll is more versatile than loo roll, it doesn't immediately disintegrate when damp.

 Just don't mix the Kendal mint cake up with the hexamine blocks.

I put together a kit in a clear plastic waterproof pouch the other day. I've yet to use it but I have the following in it
First aid kit (plasters, dressing, tick removers, steristrips, safety pins, rubber gloves, paracetamol etc)
Inhaler
Lighter
Petzl e+lite
swiss army knife
plastic card wrapped in duct tape
Tissues
Small piece of paracord
I figured that I could just lob it in my bag as it has spares of things i might need. I've also got some dental floss in there as i found some in the cupboard and figured it might be useful string but i reckon i'll be removing it

Btw, i can whistle with 1 finger, so as long as i have one arm working enough to allow me to lift a finger to my gob, i should be fine.  6 times, repeated at 1 minute intervals???

Very topical! The chocolate teapot updated.

I've never understood the chocolate teapot one; personally I think chocolate teapots are very useful, especially as I don't really like tea but do like chocolate Simon's modernisation is far better from my perspective

or...... about as much use as an Italian football manager before a major tournament! (not really got anything against Italians you know)
