Product Information

However, Equity is on the warpath now, emboldened by recent events. When “making amends” to actors of colour whose casting critics have been so insolent as to question, they must “apologise for getting it wrong and be willing to learn from their experiences”. To “play a more active role in combating racism,” they can “volunteer to mentor a person of colour who is interested in writing criticism”. Quentin Letts Sightings and monitoring throughout the following two years witnessed a remarkable recovery as Spirtle’s sun-damaged skin lesions slowly healed to scar tissue – the deep raw pink gradually granulating and fading into white. Perhaps it was because she beat the odds; perhaps people admire a survivor whose scars bear witness to the suffering they have withstood; perhaps her horrendous experience touched the hearts of anyone who has ever suffered from sunburn or been caught out by the elements and had to endure physical hardship as a result, but Spirtle became somewhat of a superstar among the cetacean community of the Moray and Cromarty Firths and beyond.

In the headlong pursuit of fidelity to events, he could be unremittingly cruel (not least to Vivien Leigh, to whom Tynan’s relentless and often savage critiques caused endless, unconscionable distress). Yet anyone who reads his description of Ralph Richardson’s disastrous 1952 Macbeth gets a vivid idea of why it was disastrous. When he describes Richardson’s Macbeth “stumping across the broad stage as if in need of a compass to find the exit” or of possessing an “unfocussed bluffness, like a teddy-bear snapped in a bad light by a child holding its first camera”, you know, 70 years on, exactly what it looked and felt like. Despite the spurtle originating in Scotland, it is in fact recognised all around the world. In india for example it is used as a tool to mix rice which works by keeping the grains separate. Wood is one of the oldest and proven materials used to make kitchen utensils.Therefore, wooden spurtle is always the best way to go. One wonders what the late great critic Kenneth Tynan might have made of it all. Tynan, The Observer’s star reviewer in the 1950s and 60s, would surely have been torn. The Marxist in him — for so he declared himself — might perhaps have relished the onward march of social progress. The writer would have considered it a declaration of war.Wooden tools in the kitchen, such as cooking spoons, chopping boards or even spurtles, are debated for hygienic reasons. Therefore, care is required when cleaning. A spurtle is best cleaned immediately after use by brushing and rinsing under running water. After cleaning, the spurtle should be able to dry well. Under no circumstances should the spurtle be washed in a dishwasher, as the wood of the stirrer would be exposed to the rinse water for too long and swell up. It is also recommended that wooden kitchen tools are occasionally rubbed with a little vegetable oil to keep the wood smooth. Spurtle's that have not been sanded properly are likely to cause splinters and this is common for machine made products. The size is another factor that could affect the price, each one can vary depending on the design. With that being said early spurtles were flat, and not the rounded type that you more commonly see. It was also not uncommon to have metal varieties. When answering the question: What is the best wood for a spurtle, it is important to point out that the best wood would be a solid hardwood. Your spurtle may be produced from Acacia, Oak, Beechwood, Maple, etc, the main thing is that it should not be a soft wood, but a natural hardwood and that your spurtle tools are made from one piece of solid wood without glue and chemical varnish.

For my generation, coming of age in the 1990s ten years after his death, Tynan was still the Alpha and Omega of theatre-writing. He was the writer who could explain this new continent of drama to us, tell us the major landmarks, give us the names of the tribal elders and account for their social standing. He showed us the form, outlined the social customs and taught us how to give the profession all the love and reverence it deserved.

The whole atmosphere he gave off — of scurrilous gossip, long lunches, afternoon affairs, Dunhill Smoke and Gin-and-Ginger Marxism — was, to those of us born in the 1960s and 70s, a clarion call to the guilty treasures of adult life, its hidden, illicit perfumes.
