Hand writing? How quaint!

They've yet to make a digital equivalent that is even close for maths. A bit like trying to write C++ with a pen really

I have to hand write the essays in my exams - that's 4 1000 word essays in three hours.

I'd get cramp. I'd fail as well cos nobody would be able to read it.

So you do admit to sticking foreign objects up your jacksie, for the purposes of relieving constipation? Just not a pencil?

I can see why you're a virgin.

No I don't. But you could lose your virginity with one.

I use a 1950's yard of lead. Its heavy enough to beat a bob to death with it

I also have a Tombo Mechanical pencil but the lead is far too thin in that

But still good for a stab through the heart?

I feel that the erasable nature of pencil indicates that you're not confident in what you're committing to paper! As a contractor your clients *expect * you to be confident! That's why I carry a large block of granite and an array of chisels and hammers at all times.

..Do you use yours for this Sas?

No I don't. But you could lose your virginity with one.

Only in CUK land will you find people arguing over which is the best pencil......

There's no point

[KentPhilip]

Excellent for doing mathematical stuff.

This is not a argument, it's a contradiction.

No such need for using a rubber in me modelling, but then don't make many mistakes.

Not many mistakes to be made in simple Weibull modelling.

I use these so I can irritate other people in the office when I am bored by doing Cozy Powell impersonations:

The withdrawal technique can be risky

I prefer a neat line through any errors.
