at saturday june 07 2025 0 comments tuesday 10 september 2024 accidentally left my notebook cover containing a notepad and my rose gold kaweco fountain pen on the coffee table in the output area at work never noticed until i had arrived at my changeover point to drive my first bus yesterday when i got back surprise surprise it wasn t there and no one handed it in we appear to have a thief at work what s so annoying is that this isn t the first time it s happened last time i lost a notepad cover and a pair of excellent rite in the rain twist pencils which ritr had discontinued in the interim so those were lost forever this time it s the notebook cover that s been discontinued a rather bleeding good and handy maxpedition cover a faber castell perfect pencil and my kaweco rose gold fountain pen i can replace the fountain pen but it s now 60 quid not the thirty i paid for it and i can replace the the perfect pencil as well it s twelve quid through amazon but i cannot replace the cover 3 x 5 notebook cover which has since been discontinued by maxpedition dammit it had very handy velcro sections on the outside to customise the cover that had three morale patches on it i have spares but i shouldn t have or need to use them the reason i d hauled out the cover i d left my usual fountain pen and pencil both kaweco at home yesterday it was a monday figures thankfully the item i pulled the notepad cover out to use my emergancy blaze orange ritr ball point pen ritr metal clicker pen or97 wasn t lost i had stuck that in my vest penloop when i got distracted that s 30 quid i don t have to find at any rate i m bloody furious for two reasons one that it s partly my fault they re gone i should have put the gruddamn thing back in my vest pocket i got distracted and forgot and second that there s a thief at work so lesson learned it s not going to be expensive ritr waterproof paper in the notepad cover hereinafter and replaceable gear this means a bland black ritr 3 x 5 notebook cover plain paper top bound notepaper and cheaper replaceable pens most of all i want that thief i wanna do unspeakably kinetic things to his hands involving bench vices 20lb sledgehammers nails and pungee sticks i wanna do that until the audience crown prosecution service and the police scream and pass out from the horror of it all not just the thief i wanna go medieval and inquisition like on his extremities and make torquemada look like a merciful rank amateur moreover i m furious he s made me this damned angry posted by roger at tuesday september 10 2024 0 comments labels cover fountain kaweco maxpedition morale notepad patches pen pencil perfect thief work thursday 8 september 2022 the queen is dead long live the king posted by roger at thursday september 08 2022 0 comments thursday 9 june 2022 on fountain pens lots of the folks where i work are amazed that i use a fountain pen one of the more printable comments was wow that s well old school well yeah i guess when i went to school the parker 25 was kinda popular but over the years i ve gone from fountain pens to ball points to roller balls back to ball points and again back to fountain pens why back to fountain pens simply put i find them easier to write with you need less pressure on the tip the nib in order to deliver ink to the page the flip side of that is that not all paper is alike some are really good for fountain pens others are horrible for fountain pens by the same token some fountain pens are great and others utterly rubbish you pay your money and you take your choice as the hackneyed old saying goes of late there s been something of a resurgence in people taking up fountain pens to both write with and collect there are forums and face book groups fountain pens uk being one such excellent group small manufacturing businesses have also came into being to sell newly designed and made fountain pens one of the ones that i ve got a lot of time for is gravitas pens run by ben walsh on the outskirts of dublin in eire the republic of ireland to give it it s un recognised name full disclosure i have no financial links with ben i m just a very satisfied customer i ve got one of ben s pocket pens in brass and a lovely bit of kit it is too it s my daily pen carried with my filofax pocket identity organiser however the medium nib it came with was a tad shall we say juicy delivering the ink a little on the generous side to the paper nothing drastic or horrid just a smidgen too much such that ink took a little longer than i really wanted to dry on the page additionally i found that the thickness of the nib was a bit wider than i really liked so i bought a replacement nib in fine from him as expected it took about two or three weeks to get to me he tends i suspect being a one man band business to do his dispatching once a week and an post the irish post office isn t well known for speed hell neither is royal snail i mean mail come to that of late however it got to me in a nicely padded envelope along with some ink cartridges pelikan 4001 in blue a business card of course and a natty little metallic effect sticker cleaning out the pen prepping it and swapping out the nib for the new fine one was a breeze only i forgot to coat the threads of the nib and feed holder where it mates with the section with silicone grease so had to do it again d oh anyhow the pen still works delivers ink to the nib and thence to the paper only now i have to find a darker shade of olive to write with as naturally while the ink delivery is now properly controlled it appears a bit paler than with the original medium nib it s no failing just one of those things i should note in passing that this isn t my only fountain pen i have what nine others two chinese ones possibly jinhao manufactured one silver polished highly polished aluminium the other brass likely a lighter alloy of brass but it s yellow metal and i like it which work perfectly well three lamy safaris in different colours charcoal terra and olive and four kaweco pens brass rose gold olive and terra to which something of a saga of problems is attached but which all work just fine now y know this fountain pen thing is beginning to be a habit and the less said about ink the better posted by roger at thursday june 09 2022 0 comments friday 6 may 2022 interesting the london borough of bromley the borough in which i live election results are in there s no real effect on the borough as the conservatives still have a majority in council but still 2 x labour 5 x indies and 3 x libdems have taken ten tory seats in the council chamber the tories still have 35 of those 55 seats so not an overwhelming majority but a clear majority none the less bbc news story link it s well worth reminding everyone that a lot of people have voted as they did for the wrong reasons this will not affect the way the country is run in the slightest but it may affect local councils actually it will some have changed hands overnight but the end result will only affect local areas not the country as a whole foreign policy defence strategic policing the nhs and so on that are not run by local councils will not be affected what might change is the local election we had yesterday may cause the conservatives to rethink their election strategies for the next general election and that s it folks have a great weekend posted by roger at friday may 06 2022 0 comments sunday 1 may 2022 a quick tip for those of you refilling short international ink cartridges for your fountain pens just a quick tip for those of you refilling short international ink cartridges with your own preferred inks and using the international cartridge stoppers from hamilton pens to seal them when they re yet to be used i carry three spare refilled cartridges for my two edc fountain pens one for my filofax the other is my work pen i use these fieldcraft style tinder tins from amazon one tin holds three international short cartridges with stopper inserted and held in the tin within a small ziplok bag just in case one cartridge is refilled with diamine green black for my personal stuff the other two are refilled with diamine blue black for my work stuff this keeps them together and more importantly protects them from knocks and bumps that might dislodge the stoppers and the ghastly results from such a horrific occurrence hope this helps someone posted by roger at sunday may 01 2022 0 comments labels amazon cartridges diamine fieldcraft hamilton ink international pens protect refilling short stopper tin
