This large piece of masonry was sculpted around 1500BC during the Egyptian period of history. It would be placed in the corner of a school room, allowing the children to perfect the traditional Fist-Touch greeting before entering polite society. They would practice the manouvere for at least 15 minutes everyday
Many thanks to Katie for the photo
To celebrate our return to the blogging sphere we decided to book a short trip to the Isle of Mann for a weekend of rest and relaxation. Unfortunately we got lost on the voyage and landed on the Isle of Wight. To make this dire situation worse, the normally passive island was being overrun by 50,000 trendy types attending a musical event called Bestival. Here at Fist-Touch we pride ourselves on our open mindedness, so we donned our Hunter wellies drank some inebriating liquids and indulged in a spot of revelry.
The Aquila was our vessel of choice for our voyage to the Isles of Mann. This celebratory Fist-touch was performed on the deck after a successful docking. It is a long lived nautical tradition for the toast to be performed holding a can of generic belgian lager and for at least one of the crew to be wearing a cockney flat cap.
Due to an international shortage of noteworthy Fist-Touches I decided to embrace a trend know as the "summer sabbatical". But fear not after spending those long lazy summer days lounging by the local water hole I am back with a whole new season of fantastic Fist-Touches.
