Mice like ‘em.
How does this compare with Andrex Quilted?

I tried these. Thought they tasted of sawdust…
its Sainsbury’s organic Scottish oats here. Not chunky but bigger than those so you still get a little bite.
How do you get the fur clean 
Ask a bear that lives in the woods… 
Or the Pope…
They sure don’t flush easily (or even willingly), it took me ages.
My ballpoint pen of choice is the BIC Cristal, first made in 1950:

The ‘most eaten pen on the planet’ as we refer to it here.
I don’t know why people chew pens, but many years ago a colleague had such a habit. What he didn’t realise was that he inadvertently filled the pen with saliva, resulting in some rather revolting experiences for the rest of us. I managed to break his habit by sneaking off to the local pharmacy and buying a little bottle of Stop’n’Grow.
This was my top snout when at Max Pretentiousness.
Very nice!
Sobranie for me…
Can’t bear ball point pens! Have always used a fountain pen which probably just ages me but…if I have use a Bic then I prefer the fine line one in yellow.
on pencils I agree, they are excellent and easily available. The issue with pencils is usually the wood and can the wood be sharpened successfully…Steadtler used to do great pencils but they are not what they were.
I use fountain pen a lot, too. If I need a cheap ballpoint, though, it’s the Cristals I’ll go for. The yellow-barrelled fine ones I’ve tried but dislike - too thin and exert too much pressure on the paper with my writing.
Using a good quality pen is one of life’s pleasures! I’ve recently been buying pens handmade by craftsmen with different wooden barrels. They are beautifully weighted and a joy to use.
A fountain pen is special. I enjoy using Pelikan and Visconti models in particular. A good one will last a lifetime if treated with respect. I think our late Queen had the same Parker 51 she had been using since the 1950s.
Pens are so 20th century
