@or It’s very distressing whenever you open a drawer or cupboard, to be faced with one’s own shallow materialism. :(

@kdfrawg I wonder if they’d fit in my Pelikan rollerball. I stopped using it years ago because their refills were so useless. The dried out way too fast.

@kdfrawg No (though I’m not quite sure why). There are a couple of ranges out there that it does work with. I think I saw that you can do it with one of the Platinum ones, but I can’t remember which one.
