Snowy Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 I want a clickie sharpie We used t have the same problem with dummies. I must've bought hundreds for YS, he finally gave them up when we lost the last one just after his third birthday. None of them ever went in the bin. One day I will find a dummy nest in this house!

The Dogmother Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Lewis, what on earth is a 'clicky sharpie'? Not helped by the fact that I had momnetarily taken my specs off and thought it read 'clicky sharpei' A clicky sharpie: You click it + the nib comes out, click again and it disappears As opposed to a wrinkly dog in Stilhettos! Ahhh,thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 I had a clicky Sharpie, & it was great until a daughter borrowed it & left it clicked out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrensWorld Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 I've a very old 'Conway Stewart' model 286 fountain pen. "Ooops, word censored!"ody ever takes it, I think the thought of using such an old piece of kit it just scares them..... I just love using a fountain pen it's so retro chic......

missuscluck Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 oooh Clicky Sharpies look very good but do they have a homing device on them for when someone accidentaly 'borrows' it then 'forgets' to return it I have a secret stash of pens in my desk draw that come out one at a time when all pen supplies are exausted. Its the only way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirstine Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 A couple of years back, a workmate retired. She handed in 2 plastic bags full of (other people's lost) pens and one bag of keys. We always wondered where the keys and pens went. Now she's gone we STILL wonder where all the keys and pens go! Kirstine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Somebody, somewhere, has a lot of pens! Yup. It's me. I often go to conferences, hotels, large organisations where there are free pens and pencis, and unintentionally end up slipping them into my bag. I must have about 20 at last count, and four in my bag, wish I could break the habit. The pencils are always HB, and not the 2B I need to write on sheet music with, though! ......and me I have hundreds of pens and pencils........but never a black one when i need one. I don't lose socks either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy chickens! Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 For a while I bought fluffy pink pens which were safe in a houseful of males, but the pens were never any good. Now the penalty for pen theft in this house is death, which works quite well! (And don't even think about what I do if you pinch my kitchen scissors - I get really mad then.......)
