Pen snob
Went to a shop in Stockholm today and produced my Majestic and asked if there was any interest fröm the store for me to supply high end hand made pens. Salesman was most impressed.
Young Bugger in charge (walks around as if he has a broomstick you know where) asked If I could supply gold nibs. Well of course. Conveniently had no busines card to offfer but wrote contact details on paper.
As I left he made some disparaging comments to his assistant.
Well, you can't win 'em all!!

You didn't have busines cards or he didn't have business cards? Cause I have used these guys many times, excellent looking cards at very reasonable prices, use their templates or design you own - http://www.clickbusinesscards.com.au/

I'm a pen snob.
When all is said and done, there is usually a whole lot more said than done.

You have to make enough to pay tax to worry about that loop hole.
