Recommend me an inexpensive fountain pen.

Another vote for the Parker Jotter Pen. I love it.

I have an all-stainless Parker Frontier which takes a reservoir, which I fill from the ink bottle on my desk. It's the second one I have owned and writes very well indeed.

I got a Hero from a corner newsagents for a couple of euros. Hero make a lot of the cheaper pens for the likes of Parker anyway.

If you really want a cheap pen, creep up on a goose or some such and nick one of its feathers.

I just use pens picked up off the street - at the moment it is a Pilot V7 Hi-Tecpoint thingy.

Very good.

Hmmm, have you tried teleconferencing? Live video meetings and the like? Then you don't need to take your fountain pens out of the country.

Anyone tried the Kaweco roller ball which uses fountain pen ink? Maybe better for sketching than fountain pen.

Looks on desk....

yep. bought one at the same time as the fountain pen. very handy when the penless rock up at your desk and need to sign something. (I'm a nib nazi - no one uses my nib but me).

It's a nice rollerball pen actually.

what width is the rollerball line? I normally doodle with a muji http://www.muji.eu/pages/online.asp?V=1&Sec=13&Sub=52&PID=5161

Well it's hard to run a food processing line in Thailand and taste the output while sat at a desk in Bristol ....

So, job's done.
Nipped into my LPS (Local Pen Shop) and picked-up a Lamy Safari ... and they really are fantastically good, regardless of the price!
Thanks all.
Still gonna buy a Kaweco though, they just look too cool!
