Hi From Hungary


lauriond

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

 

I have been lurking here for a while - just to learn as much as possible.

 

My name is György, from Hungary. By the time of day I work in the second (or third) largest city in the ENE part of the country. By the 'light of night', I live in a small village, some 20 km off. Both places and times I write quite a lot.

 

I learned to write with FPs - but I not 'collector' - they just happen to start piling up. In a pen I prefer simple design and innovative technological solutions as well as ease of maintenance; In nibs I tend to use the finer widths, for most of bulk writing I am OK with smooth nails; I usually write cursive (in an ugly longhand ~ business hand), so I have a predilection for stubs and some flex for flair.

 

My interest is more in writing - not only with FPs, but dip pens, occasionally pencils, graphite sticks, reed pens, metalpoints, even with knives - the only exception where I failed terribly is brush writing and ballpoints.

 

This is a great forum with an incredible hoard of accumulated rich knowledge, very nice and helpful people and sizzling with life. Something I'd like to be part of very much.

Welcome, Gyorgy !

 

The Parker 45 and TWSBI Diamond series are simple of design and easily maintained by the user. I hope you will be adding them to your collection of . . . . . . . I beg your pardon. . . . . . your piling up of pens.

 

Write with joy..

Szia György !

Welcome to FPN. I certainly can identify with pens that just keep piling up :). Most of them are very inexpensive but they give me great joy.

My family also comes from NE Hungary .. a small village, Pácin, in BAZ megye and I have a cousin in Nyirbéltek which is not too far from Debrecen.

Enjoy your stay here at FPN. There are so many nice people who are very generous with their knowledge.

TWSBI's - they are the majority brand in my (two) drawers entirely dedicated two writing instruments. At least one is always in the rotation. Numbered Parkers haven't yet found me - I have Vectors and a Rialto.

 

Thanks for the warm welcome.

Hi György and welcome to FPN

 

Yes, there are collectors and people who just aggregate a number of pens.

I aggregate.

 

Enjoy the forum

Hello,

 

Here's to your ever expanding growth of pens being piled!

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
