I can use chopsticks in a hamfisted sort of way.

I can't roller skate for toffee now, probably because I've broken both my ankles over the years (not skating I hasten to add)  cry:

I like the look of these ~ use one end for noodles and t'other for the soup.




You can also use the pointy ends to keep your hair off your face.
