Music on vinyl records, mobile phones the size of house bricks and pornography printed on paper. What hideously out of date stuff do you still use?
Thanks to boozehound for the suggestion

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?

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?

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?!

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

...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

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.
