Actually, the pens are inherited from my parents, but I had the idea that they were relatively easy to come by in the UK -- you can get the ones you plunk an ink cartridge into, right? Well, there are these little adapters, like plastic tubes with a plunger you draw up when the nib is in the ink. Not as fun as the rubber bladders of yore, but still more fun (and messy) than cartridges. Good luck! Hey Rahul!

I've wanted one for a while (I have a long running obsession with pens) and have actively resisted spending several hundred £s in the Mont Blanc shop.
