Whenever I get the urge to buy myself a decent pen I sit and recount how many pens I've lost that week.

Have used them before, and only good things to report (not sure what they work out at now the exchange rate's dropped, though)... you will have to wait while they're despatched from the US. MB have, sadly, done a very good job of stopping places from really selling them at a discount. frown

I used to get through about 2x "normal" pens a week. I refuse to use utterly cheap BICs, so they were usually about £1-1.50 per-pen gel/rollerball things.

When I realised I was losing £100+ of pens a year, I came to the conclusion it was because:
a) I just didn't care enough about them to pay attention and make sure I'd not left it lying around.
b) Thieving pikeys could take them and get away with it because they were utterly anonymous.

Funnily enough, when I got one of the following for jotting notes down in the office, both of those went away. 1 year on, and one quick bit of engraving just to be SURE it doesn't "walk", it's still with me... smile
