At the moment: whatever nice gel pens you can buy, as I always like gel pens!

For functionality (and what I used to use a lot in secondary school): Papermate, particularly the "Stick 2020" series, as you could just pull out one pen ink and put a new one in, They were also very durable and had a better feel to them than the nasty BIC pens, and other pens that you could get for about 2p each.
I love pens, but usually I have eaten mine before the ink actually runs out. Looking for a really resistant pen any suggestions?

Hmmm Idk, I always have to change ink because I use fountain pens, usually about 2-3 weeks if I’m at school. Don’t think I’ve ever drained the ink of a BIC biro pen back when I used to use them, they seem to last forever sadly I could never get a good flow/write smooth so I gave up on them

I prefer fountain pens, or Tesco do a massive pack for really cheap and they always seem to last way longer than any big brands imo

Parker Sonnet black lacquer fountain pen with medium stainless steel nib. Somehow it makes me consider more carefully the content that I write.

Lamy Safari for everyday use.
Biros?

Papermate Inkjoy 100. I would normally buy a box of 50 at the start of term for £8 and it usually lasts until the end of the year.

I recently moved over to a fountain pen - Lamy Al-Star with Lamy black ink. Great pen.
