Fisher's 'Space Pen'

[*Bob*]

Let me start-off by saying that we already have a really nice pen upstairs, which I mainly use for work. However, it would be nice to have a second, more up-to-date pen for use in, say, the garden - or the kitchen.

What does anyone think? Should I go with the Fisher Space Pen (retailing at ?16.30) or simply get a box of fifty black Bic biros for ?7, and hope I never need to write whilst underwater, or in a vacuum?

Is this the one you can puncture cans with? If so - it's a must!

Iv'e had a Fisher Space pen for years and would highly recommend them.I use it outside when its wet for marking wood when im making decks-its brilliant, refills last for ages.

I use mine for composing poetry in the shower.

You'll look like a tit Bob. Especially if you try and use it as a stylus for your ipad.

Get a fountain pen and some paper. Then write a letter of apology to yourself for even considering getting a space pen.

I can heartily recommend and quill and some ink.

I nearly dismissed this thread as "fishing" but, having just scrolled down the page I came across the "real beauty" in the range

FISHER SPACE PEN .375 BULLET Ref: 375 http://www.fisherspacepen.co.uk/index.php?function=detail&itemcode=F375

"The Cap for this exciting new Space Pen model is an actual .375 H & H Mag Shell.

Inside is a Brass Bullet Space Pen finished to match the characteristics of the shell."

Who in their right mind wouldn't want one, upstairs or downstairs ?

That teamed with an I-pad & laying on your new(ish) rug

Paradise.....

W**F

"That's not a pen, this is a pen.."

Who would want .375 bullet pen, when they could have this.. The Alan Shepard Golf Pen!

Recreate that famous 'lunar swing' from the comfort of your own bedsit. For only ?40.95
