Neil Longair sent me a parcel with the turd in it plus some more lovely blanks.

I gave up with the turd after gluing back together for the 30th time.
Much as it pains me to admit it "I can't turn shit".

I don't shown nor turned a pen for a goodly while now, been too busy enuff on other things init?
My boss was cursing this moaning she had just changed her refill and the new one didn't work, so I loaned her my pen for the day.
Oh that's nice she said where did you get that, I am very fussy with my pens, it has to be ballpoint, I t has to be big, it has to be black ink but above all it has to write nice and this does.

So I slung this together for her.
She chose the blank that had PPP written on it which immediately flashed "Pusers purple paint" into my mind and distant memories of happy but painful days of shaved and sheep dipped genitalia init?

And yes she asked what does PPP stand for, she doesn't believe it's pissheads purple plum but loves the way it writes and has gone off with one of my crappiest kits ill fitted off center free blank and converted to Beaufort refills.

She thinks I am a star slapped £40 in my mitt and wants to buy me lunch tomorrow, result init?

It's at times like this that I'm glad to be reading this on a tablet whilst eating my breakfast, they're so much easier to wipe clean than a keyboard :whistling:

Good result Brian. What is the kit by the way? Based on a sierra I'm guessing - I quite like it, even though you say it's one of your crappiest.

I don't know the real name of these kits Phil, I know what I call em and it ain't nice.
If I remember rightly these were one of Woody's flights of fancy, he would know what where and how init?

That turned slightly off centre so I thought to check it out today and unscrewed a loose chuck to put a drive in and do a kiss test.
Spot on, I wonder if the chuck was loose enuf to knock the blank off bonk.
Something is also nagging me and remembering oval tubes on them, Neil might elaborate I think it was with him it was discovered.
