And it's her big 30! Actually that sounds depressing. Well assuming her mum is preparing a surprise party, it's a good thing you did not bring it up with your gf that her mum had called- actually did you?

No I didn't yet as she didn't finish work until around 2am so I didn't get the chance. I'll suss it out. She's having a party of sorts anyway so it's probably not that, but it could be.

Pretty sure I was last in the whole class to get my pen license. I think I only got it out of sympathy too.

I never even got one. I was always messy in school. It wasn't until Uni that I was motivated to learn foundation font because I knew I would have to teach it. Now I regularly get positive comments about my handwriting.

I could not wait to upgrade to a fucking pen. All that sharpening and/or the lead breaking in the pacer drove me insane.

I remember that. It was such a big thing. I thought "I'm not ready to use a pen". I was comfortable with my lead pencil. :laugh:

But from memory by the time the class could use pens and that it was just casual and nothing special. The whole pen licence thing fizzled out...

I don't remember having to have a pen licence. I doubt they were even around in the late 60s when I was in early to mid primary school.

yeah my dad use to wrap masking tape along the top and write my name too... like you, a fail, I still misplaced them. I use to use my pencils as chopsticks for my hair, that could explain some of the missing pencils

Mum, on all of our pencils, with a stanley knife cut a slice, just like peeling a carrot, off at the end and wrote our names on them. We had name tags sewn into our clothes as well, red names on white tape.

Yes, as a total maths retard even the explanation went over my head, but my dad and my brother who are both math genius types were able to get it with some amount of ease. Even when rewritten as a literary problem I was still very WTF.

Seems more like a logic puuzzle to me.

Yes I think so. Sorry I should have said number retard, it's not specific to maths but I struggle to interpret anything that uses numbers . But as I said, even when presented differently I couldn't digest it. My dad and bro and both super smart, so it didn't surprise me that they could get it.

I'd rather be a number retard than a social retard.

I saw him at a club a couple months ago. If I had known...

Actually, he was pretty preoccupied with people asking him for selfies. After all this time, too! Like, get over it, guys.

Are there any sites online that can analyze your handwriting? That would be cool to see.

I'd love that too. I've always said that, personified, my handwriting would be a rough, yet generous lover.

Ah yes, I'm assuming you still had a quill and an ink pot back in those days... :tongue:

I think my handwriting would be scatterbrained and masochistic.
