Hello everyone,

I live in the UK and have been a collector for several years now. Use to prefer pre 1970's pens, until I came up against the TWSBI. Boy, is that pen a good 'un! Bang-for-bucks amazin!!!
Didn't know this board existed until today when I was fishing around for pen related articles. Hope you will all be gentle with me until I get a feel for everything!

Hi inkypinky!

I just found this forum within the past week myself. We can find our way around together.

BTW ... as a new fountain pen user, I wish I could call myself "inkypinky". Unfortunately, it seems that I tend to get ink on my pinky, ring finger, middle finger, index finger, thumb and palm! I'd have to call myself "inkyhand" and that's not nearly as cool of a name!

Melissa

LOL! That is what my hands looked liked after messing with my Noodler's Konrad the first day I got it!

Tytoalba, the bear is Benjamin. He hasn't traveled nearly as much as he'd like. He's been to Vegas once and a few local weekend getaways, but he's not even done that in awhile.

In this pic, he's visiting Death Valley. He is thinking about posting a photo of him at Anaheim Stadium in his Angel's uniform, but he's waiting for his team to move up a bit in the rankings. :-)
