    I use the Bic with 4 different retractable refills in it - Black, Blue, Red & Green.

    It is all plastic and can be taken apart.
    When individual colours run out, they can be replaced by a similar refill - possibly taken from some other free pen and cut to length.

    If a normal Bic stops working, heat the ball with the side of a flame from a lighter or match and this will often set it off again.

    I prefer retractable pens:
    Drop an ordinary stick one on a hard surface, like concrete, and it will never be quite right again even if it is still writing.
    A retractable pen is still pointing downwards when in your pocket - ready to go.
    A pen clipped upside down in a pocket can leak:eek: or encourage the ball to dry out..

    a copy of their proof of purchase of the Promotional Product in the form of the seller’s receipt. The seller’s receipt must clearly show the qualifying products purchased, the purchase price and the date of purchase. The date of purchase of the Promotional Product must be no less than 30 days prior to the date of the Form;


    What does this mean? You have to fill the form in 30 days before you buy the pens? Or you have to fill the form in and buy the pens within 30 days of doing so?

    I think you can register whenever you want, but you have to register to download the form, and you fill in the form when you send the pens to them - which has to be after 30 days from the date of purchase. Basically it's saying you can't buy 10 pens and send them in to them empty the following day.

    Hmmmmmm may give this a go.

    I wonder if you could use up any almost used pens you had and send them in place of the new ones? As long as they are in good condition, look like the ones you've just brought and are empty how would they know?

    Ooooh look I seem to have acquired a Bic pen which was almost empty - 20 minutes of drawing circles on bits of scrap paper has emptied it dry :D

    Now I just need to get the registration page to work!
