Has Anyone Heard Of Henry Simpole?

[Truffle Finder]

I've just finished working on the nib!

It glides like a knife through butter!, in fact I'm wondering whether to use it myself for a while! :hmm1:

A lovely pen, and I'm warming to the colour, even though I wasn't so keen on it when I first saw it!

[Ghost Plane]

Argh! Teach me to leave you alone overnight with a B nib. Henry, we need to talk!

[Truffle Finder]

Was up Doc???

Truffle Finder.

[Ghost Plane]

Wascally wabbit!

[Truffle Finder]

I get the impwession that you're not too pleased with me, for italicising the nib on the pen Ghost Plane!

I'm weally weally sowwy!!! I pwomise I won't do it again!!!

Twuffle Finder!!! :bunny01: :bunny01: :bunny01:

Those nibs are so darn good when tweaked to give sufficient flow that I hate to see them touched. Personal preference thing, so I was suffering from nib envy until the thing was done.

[esterbex]

Awww gee GP! Henry didn't pick up that you were interested in the pen.....He was too busy drooling dreaming of the possibilities....

[Truffle Finder]

Actually, I'm going to 'tweak' the nib grind on that nib! It's good, but not 'that' good! :embarrassed_smile:

I've got to think of something to do while the grass grows!!!

When it's right, it should float. Sort of like the hovercraft used by UNIT during the 3rd and 4th Doctors.

[Truffle Finder]

Is that an American 'thing'?

UNIT, I mean!

I also don't understand the reference to Doctors!!!

I 'DO' realise how smooth a nib should glide across paper though!

Perhaps you might care to elaborate GP! :hmm1:

[raging.dragon]

They're references to the BBC's science fiction TV series Dr. Who. UNIT are a fictional para-military organization in that series.

What kind of Englishman are you Truffle?

[Chris Chalmers]

Could it be that Henry and I are the only people who don't and never have, watched Dr Who?

Nope. Someone else has never seen it. And that pretty well triangulates the globe.

There's a small contingent of followers on this side of the pond, but it's a British phenom virtually unknown to our masses. I thought it would be as familiar as Marmite to l'Anglais....but when someone has an aversion to mobile phones, then nothing should surprise.

[Truffle Finder]

Sorry if it might disappoint anybody, but I gave up watching Dr. Who when I was very young, I found it too unbelievable that those Darleck-things could threaten the world 'as we knew it' by waggling a sink plunger around, and talking in a funny voice! All we needed to do was walk upstairs, and they would have been 'discombooberated!' :blink:

So, having solved the problems which befall time travellers everywhere! I will get back to doing the 'chocolate box design', which I should have completed last weekend, but those pesky Zybermen just kept on getting in the way!!!

Oh dear. Then you do NOT want to watch the Weeping Angels episodes from a recent series. The ones that get you when you close your eyes. Or turn your back. The ones who move closer every time you blink. The ones that creep closer in the darkness.

 

No. You don't want to watch those. :ph34r:

Keep calm and don't blink!

[Truffle Finder]

Weeping Angels Huh?

And they move closer to you every time you blink, Huh?

Or turn your back on them!

Fascinating, just absolutely fascinating!

Nah! It doesn't do anything for me!!!

Sorry!

Truffle Finder.

P.S. I'll let you know if I see one of 'em though!

P.PS. I'll tell you what would be more scarey than the Weeping Angels, watching Prince Harry play billiards in his suite in Las Vegas!!! :roflmho:
