Anyone got any suggestions for good pens that are easy to write with for a long time (ie english text)?

don't get one of those gel pens...

they feel comfortable... but they sometimes smudge... and run out quick....half of it in the change section of my trial!

yeh thats what i want to know!

i dont recommend the bic softfeel clicker pens... they're terrible

Right now im usin papermate ultra sumthing pen which is alright, and its not even expensive :)

What i hate about sum pens is that they run out of ink tooo quik, i use it for a week and it becomes dry and uncomfortable.. heh i luv the feel of writing with a fresh new pen its soo smooth i luv it!

Yea I like the Pilot BallPoint fine....it writes pretty good, I've been using those since I started using a pen...its just the grip on it is just jagged plastic and gets very uncormfortable without some other grip on top of it.

go papermate kilometrico!!!! they are the cheapest and last for ages, but the trick is to have a number of different pens so you change every page you write something so your grip alters. This helps out when your writing flat out in 3hr exams, it does, just try it.

my permanent pen dent has gone away......this is how much i've done tyhese hols...:(

i tried writing a phone message earlier and it was really hard...lik ei've forgotten how to write!!!!!

as for what pens are good i tend to use whatvere is around. no one pen is good for me, the feel or each pen is different and my choice keeps changing so i've got about 6 differnet types in my pencil case....

what is everyone's choices about black or blue?
