MB ballpoints are nothing special. It's their rollerball that really shines. I'm talking about how they write not how they're made.

i slept late and misssed my local pen club this morning. freaking old people and their 11am meetings!

I've been put off fountain pens from years of having to use them in school, and also being left-handed makes it a pain to write.
I still have a couple of fountain pens, but only the bog standard Parker ones. They're all gunked up too now, I should give them a clean and start again.

Darn! How often do you guys meet?

[matt fury]

One Sunday a month. It's a pretty good group, although our numbers have dwindled a little. I miss far too many for this reason...11am, especially on a Sunday, is rough.

edit: woohoo, 5 years, finally 100 posts! lol

ive had my MB starwalker fountain pen for about 3 months now and although im very pleased with it occasionally when i write very fast (in exams) and my fingers slip up the metal grip i get ink leaking onto my fingers. i think there are some holes at the base of the nib (does anybody know why this is?) and if my fingers get too close here then ink everywhere. does anybody else have the same problem??

Look at the fine pen I made the other day when I was obviously bored

I love Pelikan pens! Very nice collection you have there.

I have had for about 10 years an special edition Pelikan made for Levenger (Tortoise Pen) in a light brown and pearl barrel that writes beautifully. I will try to take a picture soon and post it here.
