Sounds like your doing your job correctly Elvis.
But its a bit hard on the ole ego at times.
My 15 yr old is taller, faster than me and in extension everything at school, I'm trying to get him employed as hes eating me out of house and home.
Its called parenthood I'm told.......

I want one of those at my desk at work. That'll teach those little cheerleaders.

Suz,
Cheer leaders can't learn anything that doesn't start with, "give me a..."
Only real women learn or teach.

Vince,
If your like me, and forget your fountain pen every once and a while without using it, and the ink dries up. Well it's a PITA to clean it out of the bladder and nib.
If you can see if you can pick up some Noodlers ink, it never actually dries, a quick pumping of water will clean out the pen in no time. It can only bond and actually dry on cellulose which is nice. But once dried it can never be altered as it chemically bonds to it.
As luck would have it, there is a distributor in Kirrawee apparently. The only Australian distributor.
How's that for unsolicited advice?
Dimitri

As a lefty I cant use a fountain pen... tip digs into the paper as I have to push it, plus you have to write slower so the ink can dry otherwise your palm smears it. Righty's drag the tip resulting smooth flowing lines.

According to research (mine) there are more [percentage wise] of left handed people using fountain pens. In fact my father-in-law was a lefty and used a fountain pen daily. God rest his soul.

I have a Waterman with a refillable cartridges, and a Esterbrook with a rubber bladder that uses a lever.
I do not use them that often, so the ink "dries" but a pumping of water a couple times cleans them right out and I set them to dry and refill. The fact Noodler's is tamper proof due to it's chemical bonding instead of just surface drying is icing on the cake.
Much nicer process then using the standard iron/pigment inks that gum up inside when they dry.
