Salutations! I'm a Fountain pen noob. I have joined this site hoping I will have a clearer head by the end of this. I am 20 year old, and a university student. I'm looking at buying a fountain pen for next semester. I'm hoping here I can learn to improve my signature, as I currently use a scribble as a sorry excuse for a signature.

I went to the writing instrument store in the CBD area today, and tried tsome Waterman, Parker, Mont Blanc, and Faber Castel... I was looking at the P51, but like I said I'm a noob, and looking forward to learn. :) It's evening in australia hence the "bon soir" :D

Regards,
W. Skopar

Welcome to FPN. First we'll muddy the waters for you and then make them crystal clear in the end. The Parker "51" is a great pen!

I always wondered if citizenship was granted at conception would Bermuda have the largest population in the world?

What a beautiful and romantic place.

Largest population in the world??? eh?
