Why should it be a girl's name?

How about Sydney [as in 'hissing Sid'!!!] or even 'Elvis'!!!

Food for thought!

Thank you for contributing suggestions........... Bertha is a bit, well, brutal?? Hissing Sid is not a name to love, Henry - and I want a girlie name please!!! Elvis is banned in this house - and I would have to be in a very dark place to be able to tell you why.

 

It may have to wait until I hold it - although a little voice is murmuring Saucy Sal!!! To take that to another level........I can hear someone singing "Sally....Sally!" Does that date me? :roflmho:

Given Henry's recent escapades hob-nobbing (as it were) with the aristocracy and the society osteopath, how about Christine or Mandy?

OK, Troglokev, although I would be the first to admit that I am an anachronism, I do think that harping back to the 'Profumo Affair' in 1962/3 and the fall of the Macmillan government, I think that Christine and Mandy don't really sound like snakes somehow!!!

Jeremy Clarkson's people are looking into it for me though!

Isn't there a character [elfin like I think!] in the Harry Potter Stories called 'Slitherin' or something like that!!!?

But I will let you know what JC thinks when he gets back to me,OK?

PS. I am referring to Jeremy Clarkson BTW, not the other one, AKA, JC!!!

The Denning Report was one of the more entertaining reads, I'd have to say. Much better than the Starr report, which was disappointingly tepid by comparison.

 

The snake in Harry Potter was Nagini. (Slytherin was one of the Houses, and there was a Basilisk there, somewhere, as I recall)

 

How about Jörmungandr, if you want an impressively snakey name?

You'd better ask Chris about that!

I still think that 'Slitherin' sounds about right for a snake!!!

Good Morning all! The Nurse will be around with the meds and the electric treatment directly!!

 

I think "Slitherin' Sally" will do nicely, at least until she arrives........... rumor has it that she is having a nose job first before taking off into the wide blue yonder heading for the Roaring Forties!!

Here it is wide black skies and horizontal rain........ again :crybaby:. :roflmho:

 

It will be a race - Kevin and Jasmin versus Slitherin' Sally and a mystery companion reaching home first...........somehow I think photos of the first will appear here before mine do.

Oooo! I can't wait to find out more about Slitherin' Sally's mystery companion! And I can't wait to see a group photo with all (how many again?! :notworthy1: ) of your lovely Simpole pens!

Reprieve, I stopped off at another thread on my way to his one, and couldn't help but notice your Nakaya Piccolo pen in blue and silver finish, I know that this might sound like a stupid question, but who made this pen?

The name Nakaya sounds as though it is a Japenese make, but Piccolo rather implies Italian manufacture.

I take it, it is a fountain pen? Could you show it opened please?

I thiunk it quite rightly causes some 'Oooooh's, and Aaaaarh's' in the right circles!

      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
