It is 60 years since Hungarian newspaper journalist Laszlo Biro and his brother invented the bic biro. Thought I would share that with you all.

Nope Ive got a cheap brand.

You mean there's something cheaper than Bic?

In pound shops you get large packs of biros for a pound.

Those with the dodgy scratched nibs that don't write properly?

kevvosa · « **Reply #7 on:** November 25, 2006, 11:11:39 pm »

Yes but the ones I have write well and have lasted ages.

I have always believed you can tell a lot about a man by the type of pen he uses. The same goes about a mans shoes.

The same goes for what type of chocolate bar a woman likes and what perfume she wears.

Yes I can see how a woman wearing Tweed and eating a Yorkie bar wouldn't be as tempting as a woman eating a flake and wearing Gucci.

Do you know that many of my younger students do not bring a pen to the lesson and expect me to provide one?

I would give them a pencil and make them use that.
