I imagined myself as a punter kerbside staring at the miracle that timber proclaims wanting one but choosing all six for a whole variety of reasons,divided into colour ,grain shape and form similar. Now I have to keep scrolling back to the pic and my inner thoughts.I fancy all of them locked on the front page as epitomising the shangri la in forum blessings,I feel priviliged to be a member on the same forum.
Brad the design is all I could ever wish for when putting 6 of the best together.It minds me of our 6 children one time because Wilma had suffered morning sickness so badly she was told to choose between her life and death and the remaining twin she lost the other child at three months. She said you choose to me,well I tackled the Doctor he said Wilma would likely die if she went to term and the left baby would be a vegetable. Such a mental and physical set of choices. They both survived that youngest daughter is 50 this month born defect free and Wilma 5 ops later sound and well. So you see some choices are more difficult than others mate,thank you for your skill,preparation and presentation mate. I can still see the look of wonderment as Wilma minutely checked the baby girl,feet,nails,hair all over. I vowed to always take care not to separate or choose because of the unknown not the obvious. All these years of pens they are like family to me and engended real respect for others efforts. Never knew you make a flop.
Kind regards Peter.

if I had to choose one it would be number 6 where did you buy the blanks from James

I like them all (so long as they have nibs inside the caps that match) but being an old fashioned GOGITS I would like them better with clips; so as if I owned one they would not perambulate around my jacket pocket!!

I must be more old fashioned than you Pierre as I have no clue what GOGITS means.
Doubtless it is something that should be easy to work out, but it's too late in the day for my brain.
