(BOND) BABE Of The DAY - JULIE EGE...



I intended to write an interesting,
educational, entertaining post that would
amaze and astound you, but then realised I
could produce the same effect by simply
showing you a photo of Julie Ege.

The DISAPPEARING PEN Affair...


Copyright relevant owner

Back in November of last year I published a Man From U.N.C.L.E. Annuals Cover Gallery, in which I mentioned my brother owning an invisible ink fountain pen (acquired in either Kinghorn or Ayr I think, around the mid-'60s), which I somehow lost while crossing a playing field one day.  Well, it's only taken me around 60 years, but I've just received a replacement for it, which I bought after seeing it on eBay recently (arrived today, along with my glow-in-the-dark skull).

Will I be giving it to my sibling to replace his long-vanished writing implement?  (That means 'pen', Melvin.)  Hey, stop being so silly - of course I won't.  It's mine!  (I have a vague notion my brother's pen may've been green or grey [or a greeny-grey], but I'm not 100% sure.  I have seen ones on the 'net in something resembling those and other colours).  Any older Crivs ever own such a pen?  Open Channel 'D' and relive your childhood memories in our comments section.
