    Be an amazing offer if you could do 10 pens.

    Totally forgot about this after reading about it during my exams. Might pick up a pack and send off 10 and see if it works. I can waste a few hours watching a film.

    I bought another pack of promo pens the other day. Going to hazard doing this again :)
  • Well I think this promotion is bloody disgusting and shall be writing a letter to my MP complaining! (with a Waterman fountain pen I might add!) What a waste of resources and its downright pollution if you ask me, not to mention the huge cost to the NHS in repetative strain injury treatments!

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker I've been Money Tipped!
    Tesco are still selling the packs for £1.50 - we picked up a couple yesterday.

    I do have a question though, does anyone who had done this ahve any ideas on how to get the tiny drops of ink that stick halfway up the cartridge? Since yesterday 2 pens are nearly empty, but there are drops of ink up the pens and no amount of ( hard to describe the action - kind of flicking the pen hard like you might crack a whip) has made it budge. Any ideas on how to make it descend so we can use it up?

    Thanks.

    It's only a game

    The pen I sent had a couple of little splodges of ink stuck to the inside, but it's fine, I was still paid. There's not a lot you can do about those, and it'd a bit unfair of bic not to honour the promotion because of a manufacturing flaw.
