Fountain Pens & Calligraphy
I still use a fountain pen to write with on a day to day basis. I find them infinitely more comfortable than a biro (not that I actually do all that much writing daily.)
Also, I recently picked up a Calligraphy kit, and started learning the italic and blackletter alphabets because I thought it would be quite interesting. It is, but it is also a very slow way to write something. It's good for relaxing and the end result is very pleasing when it all comes together.
I appear to be about a century behind the times when it comes to writing!

I'll try and attach a sample for your perusal - any suggestions for what to write?

'your all gay'
would be the perfect thing to write

I suspect that I'd need to write "You're all gay." to imply that I am refering to everyone, and not something that belonged to someone else, no?

You've missed the meme

surely an indication of being well behind the times?
it's quite silly, but I just went and looked up internet memes. It seems as though I'm woefully antiquated myself. Perhaps I should submit myself as an entry to this weeks qotw?!

Or enter yourself.

Anything so long as it features large narcotics, professionally pulchritudinous ladies, and certain Japanese automobiles.

Write:
Happy Birthday Sara!

Because...it's actually her birthday today!

My brother....
...is exactly the same. He always writes with a fountain pen. Although he does get the piss ripped out of him on the rigs for it

A couple of images....
Happy Birthday Sara, apologies for being late

Thoughts on Biro

Just a quick note - I never said I was very good at Calligraphy, just that I practice occasionally - this was quite enjoyable though. I'm not sure I can do justice to the supermodel/honda accord thing though. I lack the literary capabilities that my fellow B3tans posses in massive quantities.
