The pen at the top of the page
I like this theme, kind of. What I’m not so keep on is the plain bic biro at the top of the page. It’s not exactly a montblanc is it? Not even a nice rollerball.
Pens are important to me. A good pen can be a pleasure, someone wandering off with a good pen can be a traumatic experience. Now, I’ve nothing against biros in general, in fact, a current everyday pen for me at the moment is a promotional biro. I’m just not keen on bic biros – they always end up chewed and broken at the end. Then I can’t help but snap bits of them off, and the whole sorry affair usually ends up with the pen being too short to use, and I have to leave it somewhere in the vain hope that someone will walk of with it instead of my nice promotional biro. Actually, now I think of it, two of my current favourite are promotional biros. And I’d always considered myself something of a pen snob.
