Please see my post in Marketplace. SHE has discovered "51"s and to make matters worse has been browsing my copy of Parker "51" by young David and Mark Shepherd :angry:

Dear God only knows what will happen when she looks through THAT BOOK by young Lambrou :blink: :blink:

Anyone got one, knows where there's one for sale etc (I'm NOT mortgaging the #$ house) I'd appreciate a shout.

Bloody Ernst is sitting in his hut, sniggering - I'd swear he left the book where She'd find it.

 

 

Thanks to Dan Carmell for correcting my error in colour :blush:

Done & dusted. Thanks for help & advice. See also Chatter.

 

Jim - pictures always welcome, thanks. Also gin, whiskey and cash :D

 

Kissing - Once She has one you should know what will happen next. You'll hardly get the job after displaying such a lack of analytical skills :angry:

I was just being optimistic and seeing that a discovery of a "51" for any person would be a good thing :lol:

 

Doesnt Murphy Towers tolerate optimism~? :roflmho:

Being Irish, he had an abiding sense of tragedy which sustained him through temporary periods of joy.

How can anyone be optimistic about a wife who

 

a. Collects pens as well

b. Has 'discovered' "51"s

 

We gathered all the Laboratory Staff this morning and measured the glass under carefully monitored conditions.

Analysis of the results show it to be half empty :angry:

 

BTW - Does anyone know where I can get a supply of lab mice ? Our present stock is exhausted. Crumbs around Ernst's workbench suggest some kind of sandwich/s have been consumed. Not sure if there is any connection :(

ah ruaidhri,

 

i remember when you described your glass a full. ah, times have changed. wife is now interested in parkers and you've no more mice.

 

come to new york city, our rodent population is exploding and my lab can spare a few hundred. i'll send olga with the mice and some wd 40. she will not need a plane--she will simply float over the water to once more glimpse her ernst.

Hey Kissing,

 

Just a quiet word lad. Whatever it is you are drinking or sniffing, ease up a bit, to much excitement ain't good for you :D :D

 

What with you having to spend your life upside down B)

Hmmm... another one for the "Inkoholic" thread. :D

These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives everything its value.--Thomas Paine, "The American Crisis", 1776

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
