Wow, that is impressive Rui. And, to make it more impressive, you wrote it upside down!:clap2:

Thank you very much. Unfortunately I have been a bit slack in carrying on practicing Copperplate. At the moment I am trying to learn Italic.

Thank you very much. It still requires quite a bit more practice though.

LOL It probably depends if one looks at it from the north or south hemisphere.

Congratulations on the sales.

No sleep for us tonight it seems. Horrible heartburn at the moment...

Gaviscon works... (but not very well in fountain pens)

Did you see the Waterman's samples?

Hi Cob,

Yes I did and I still like the red Waterman pen although you did a good job with the two black ones.

I am sure the New Zealnders can tell which way up it is. Just like they know how to use a rugby ball.
At least they know where the stars go and don't put the pointers to the southern cross in the right place. ;)
It's you guys in the northern hemishpere that are upside down, the bath water goes the wrong way, for one. ;)

LOL In my case you are talking to a natural Southern Hemisphere born fpGeek not too far away from the flag of your icon.

That explains the sense of not wanting to go to Australia.
Must be surely going to watch one of the 3 1/2 nations games. ;)
(Cant' be 4 since Argentina only make up the numbers).
