Stabilo Point Visco Rollerball Pen with Quick-drying Gel Ink

Advantages: Fully erasable ink, comfortable pen to use
Disadvantages: Takes some getting used to

...My son has recently "gone into pen" at school (very proud mummy!) and he was provided with the classic Berol handwriting pen - the red one with the blue tip (sound familiar?!) but he really couldn't get on with it at all and I can't understand how these have been recommended for a first pen for such a long time; they are quite uncomfortable to hold, the nib is scratchy and the ink does not flow smoothly across the paper - but I'm guessing that they are cheap. After weeks of struggling with it, I went searching for the perfect pen for him and I came across the Pilot Frixion Erasable Rollerball Pen. To be honest, when I read what this pen was supposed to do I didn't really believe it.

Disadvantages: the acting, the script, the special effects, the soundtrack

...I brought Rollerball on DVD a couple of years ago and had never got around to watching it until today - all I can say is that i should have waited many more years. The original 1970's Rollerball is a classic, with James Caan in the lead role. The remake with Chris Klein is a poor imitation at best. Klein plays Jonathan Cross, a failed NHL player, who is inticed by Marcus Ridley (LL Cool J), by the big money available to play a new sport, Rollerball. The sport grew out of the old Soviet Union, and is under the ownership of Alexis Petrovich (Jean Reno). Rollerball takes place in an arena, where a team on rollerblades and motorbikes attempt to score against a defending team, similarly dressed.
