Noodler's Blue Upon The Plains Of Abraham - Bupa

Recommended Posts

I have yet to receive my Noodler's BUPA ink but I thought I'd relate a story.

 

As a Canadian, in Elementary School I learned about the historic battle that took place on the Plains of Abraham back in 1759 between The Brits and the French. I recalled the description of how the British troops scaled the treacherous cliffs leading from the St. Lawrence River up to the plains, under cover of dark to surprise the French.

 

I even recall pictures drawn showing steel jawed British troops climbing the near vertical "to fall is certain death" ramparts.

 

Then I visited Quebec City.

 

A four year old could stroll up to the plains and hardly break a sweat. I suspect the most difficult thing the Brits had to do was stay quiet.

 

:lol:

Haven't been to Quebec City, but I do remember going to seen the remains of Expo '67 in Montreal (after it got renamed "Man and his World"). And that my parents breathed a huge sigh of relief that they could find a motel near the exposition site, so my dad didn't have to brave the traffic in downtown Montreal a second time.... :o

Oh, if anyone wants some, let me know. Wonder pens has it in stock for $16.50 Canadian (mine came in the plastic bottle.) I can order a couple and ship out.

It's also easy to order directly from Wonder Pens. They ship to the US without problems.

Rationalizing pen and ink purchases since 1967.

Anyone else find that this ink feathers excessively? I needed this ink like I needed another $20 sitting on a credit card, but I got suckered in to the Canadian Exclusive branding position.

Nope, my bottle doesn't have any problems feathering. It actually works quite well with cheaper paper, though I mostly have put it in finer nibs.

Maybe thats my issue. Out of 40-50 pens I probably have a single fine nib from my early days of collecting before I was aware of nib size.

 

Ill have to dig my collection out of storage and find a fine to try. Due to space these days i just keep a handful of my favorites out and theyre all medium.

      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
