    BTW (sorry for the multiple posts) but I also got a new Lamy FP the other day. I'd heard of this brand via thefountainpennetwork.com. I wanted a Fountain pen for work, and the Vintage Swan I was using was a leaker. I really like the clip on the cap; it fits securely over my jeans pocket as well and my suit pants pocket; I don't have pockets on my shirts. The nib is very smooth; I decided on a fine nib. It's very nicely balanced with the lid on the pen; but also nice to use 'European style' (with cap in the non-writing hand or on the desk). Well worth the 50 bucks for nice German engineering...

    Stranger, if you passing meet me and desire to speak to me, why should you not speak to me? And why should I not speak to you?

    I reckon you could have improved that picture by writing it was a dark and stormy night over the top of it

    That's the bloke. Thanks for the reminder Carl. I should know my Artist's by now you'd think . I reckon I can do better than Van Gogh in under five minutes, with a pencil, in a coffee shop on a cold day!

    But we're talking classic pens here and not Mick's attempts at pencil sketching, so carry on. I'm finished bragging now.
