Hello. Someone else up late!
Welcome to FPN.

Hi, I'm from the UK and new as well.

Welcome to FPN. This a good place to get lots of advice and recommendations. Hopefully, you'll find a pen you're happy with.

Welcome. When I saw your subject, "Hi from Southhampton" I thought you were from the east end of Long Island here in NY. We have South, East, West, and Bridge hampton towns out there.

Hi all thks..

Ive written to the Mod whos selling some pens by Danitrio (?) that may be a option...I play the piano so the Mont Blanc Chopin model is appealing,any good?...

I havent got a clue what size body,nib i need,i'm pretty stocky guy with average to large size hands i guess, dont know if that helps..
tks again
aj

ps working nights Walter lol

I meant to say i'm looking at spending up to £100, i could stretch to £150 the price ive seen the Mont for online..I wouldn't mind a classic, that appeals, wondering who's used it over the years etc...

I thought the same thing. I went to college in Southampton, Long Island. (And you forgot Hampton Bays.)

Welcome.

Welcome Andy.

Your city reminds me of Southampton Football Club and Matthew Le Tessier, when they were still in the top football division in England.

Welcome from across the pond.

Seriously now, you need to get some pens...

Welcome to FPN.

If you are looking for a new pen, have a look at the review section, that should give you some ideas. If you are looking for a modern pen Pelikan is a good place to start, but look through the postings and you will get a good idea of what strengths/weaknesses various pens have.

Welcome to the forums, FP comrade!

Hello. Unless you are used to FPs, I do suggest you start off getting ink on your hands with a 'normal' reasonably priced pen and see how you are comfortable a) writing with it; re-filling it - cartridge or otherwise. You will then appreciate your expensive pens all the more or else it may just lie unused.

Hi guys, hoping to buy a Danitrio off of the mod, seemed pretty good value for the £.. aj
