Writing instrument
An insouciant Flea-reader asked recently if I had a writing instrument of choice. One of the best gifts I have ever received was a Mont Blanc Meisterst�ck. I have never worked out how to make a fine line with it and it remains shamefully decorative rather than functional. My workaday pen is a 0.8 mm black waterpaint ink pen from Muji in Oxford Street, London. I stock up on them whenever I am in England.
If I ever get round to writing up a "one hundred things about the Flea" list I must be sure to remember this fact: my hand-writing has been mistaken for Arabic. Twice. It is just as well they invented the typewriter.

I am still trying to understand the term "ink pen". I heard it a lot in the Army, usually from boys from the deep south.
I mean...what else do you put in a pen but ink?

Ink pen. Yes. I hadn't thought of that. Hmm.
