No, I'm sitting my A2s this year. You could say that: Im studying it at uni next year and doing an A level in it atm.

I want to do Philosophy in uni, well have fun. Who's your favourite philosopher?
Currently using a Visconti 'Van Gogh' fountain pen, and a Parker Sonnet 13 as a back up. Possibly looking at a Pelikan M600 for my next one

You lucky son-of-a-gun. Which Van Gogh do you have? I wish I have a homo sapiens but my grant can only afford a couple Pelicans and my Puente de resistances the Caran D'Ache given to me Sir Prof, Patrick Derham. The Head-Master of Westminster School.

Perhaps try a cheapo Jinhao, they're like £2 but work pretty good.

Don't really have a favourite! I do admire Bertrand Russell though.

His ideology is quite profound with his idea of "the will to life" pretty similar to Prof. Sigmund Freud's work but with a lot more emphasis on human attraction. A bitter man nevertheless but a man of greatness and I strive to be. Plus Charles Dickens was fond on him :smile:)))))))))

Hey hey, You just made a friend.
I like working on vintage pens, there's this NOVA that a professor gave me in year 10 and it always leaks but boy that pen write like a dream. It's fantabulous.
Whenever someone uses a pen with lever filler system they always play with it get ink everywhere and they always somehow make the nib feel gritty? Somehow. Peasants, please go play with your with your bics. Vintage Watermans are oooh.

Anyhow: thank you, everyone for being awe inspiring!

It's a gorgeous pen to write with. I have the 'Starry night' model. Homo sapiens is nice but perhaps a bit too big, the concept is cool though!
