Ball Point Pens

[securespark]

I buy these in bulk. Nice Day make some decent quality pens (like Bic, but cheaper!)

However, I find they break easily.

Does anyone know who makes a bog standard BPP that is made of a flexible, more solid material?

Mrs S reckons Stabilo do (they're striped, she says), but we can only find fibre tipped pens like that. We want BP.

Does anyone know who makes these?

I just happen to have one here - turns out to be a Bic, never noticed before.

It does seem to be what you want.

 

[securespark]

Thanks. Still can't find the Bic ones online!

I have found WHS striped BPP's but I don't know if they are more robust. Plus, they are 7 times the price of the Nice Day ones.

Christ on a Bike secure are you ****ing joking with these threads?

 

[securespark]

No, but at least it's cheering you up, duck!

How the f, do you manage to consistently "break a pen easily"?

 

[securespark]

Tread on them. I'm clumsy and the kids leave stuff lying around.
Now I know the best solution is to retrain the kids, but in the short term I'd like to get some more Secure-resistant pens.

Poor old Secure can't spend a penny these days without asking for opinions. I'd hate to go shopping with him.

Good job you don't have to then.
You're not compelled to post here either, if you don't want to.
However you obviously felt compelled to write something catty.

Hopefully you feel better now.

I think I have as much right to post here as you. I would expect to have the p*ss taken out of me if I asked what toilet paper to buy or what sandwich was best value. You need to subscribe to Which magazine....

Look at Gel pens. Quite flexible and nice writers. Not sure of the manufacturer or cost as we use them in work and I'm off at the moment.

 

[DaveHerns]

What about my bog roll and sandwich?

 

[securespark]

I think I have as much right to post here as you.

Of course you do. Just like me.
You don't have to be catty with it, though.

 

[DaveHerns]

Only because you choose to take it as catty.
I'm thinking of a 9 pack of Andrex Quilted. What do others think? I suspect you couldn't give a 5hit..

On the subject off bog roll, there was a brilliant letter on Facebook to the MD of Asda from someone who had bought Asda economy loo roll and had their finger go through the paper "in action"
