My favourite biro is:

BIC fine point:

The BIC Orange Original Fine ballpoint pen with barrels that were, are and will always be orange. This ballpoint pen was introduced in 1961 for people looking for a precision writing instrument and features a uniquely fine 0.8 mm point. Taking after its big brother, the BIC Cristal Original, this pen offers the same state-of-the-art technological trio: a point, a perfectly spherical ball, and high-quality ink manufactured in the BIC plants. This system ensures even ink flow for accurate fineline writing and intricate drawings. BIC has been tirelessly improving the BIC Orange Original Fine pen since it came out. It gradually got lighter and the instant-dry ink is constantly being perfected for writing with an ever-gentler touch. BIC even gave it a twin brother: the Cristal Original Fine ballpoint pen that has a translucent orange barrel instead of an opaque one. A mark of quality. BIC makes this pen at its own plants in Europe using unmatched expertise that has been passed down the generations. BIC has it down to a fine art.

It's 40 years today since LWTUA was first played live - in Brussels. Brexit will tear us apart again

Black Friday is a right con, I ordered four kindles from Amazon and they sent me a Two Ronnie's DVD.

(If you aren't familair with the Two Ronnies fork handles / Four candles sketch, this will mean nothing to you!)

This thread will probably outlive biros themselves.

So tonight is surely the first time that an artist who has been remixed by a member of New Order will have gone on to perform at Eurovision. My feeling on that remix is that it was an improvement on the original, but the original wasn't my cup of tea in the first place.

So perhaps unsruprisingly Olly Alexander's entry for the UK in tonight's Eurovision also isn't my cup of tea.

I shall however be rooting for the Irish entrant, Bambie Thug who is clearly a bit bonkers. CROWN THE WITCH!

Somewhere around 1:36 an actual song breaks out.

Oh there's a proper music video as well.
