Yeah, that's not human friendly anyway, I thought maybe we
could go through. I've got a small collection of six
pens that I've collected late to give them a bit
of a review. Now let's start with this guy here.
We've got the Rutherford Hotel in Nelson.

the window, then, Hasn't it sucks?

Speaker 1 (01:41):

A lot?

Speaker 1 (02:06):
Yeah, this has been well represented that when I selected
this one. Rubber grap It does have a rubber grip,
which I quite like. The printing's nice and sort of
an ombree effect on it. And just to do some
writing here, okay, with a blue ink consistent for do
you want.

To wrap your lips around that one?

Speaker 3 (02:20):
Beautiful? Beautiful? It's nice. That's nice. That's a fly that's
a fairly sort of standard design.

the Ascot Park Hotel and in Vicago, one of my
favorite hotels. To say, I'm going to say, when you
click it, it's got some resistance. It needs a bit
of loub.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
That has a click like I'm about to sign some
fucking ship.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
Yeah I know, but it's stiff. Okay, you have a
feel of the stiffness of that clerk.

I will say that this hotel, this is Sydney, and
this is when we went there, and I've included this
one from my hotel collection of the year. Okay, because
this is a hotel in Sydney called the Old Clear.
And I'll tell you what it's the most expensive. No,
don't look up the don't look up the fucking rate.

Speaker 4 (04:48):
Don't look up.

Speaker 2 (04:48):
The right was four point two out of five with
one hundred and eighty Google reviews the Old Clear. Find
he doesn't hit me with number one, because there's obviously
a couple of one stars in the midst there.

Speaker 3 (05:01):
Yeah, I can go back to that.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
I've just it's number thirty seven out of one hundred
and ninety six hotels in Sydney, so it's up there.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
What we've got here is a pin that you could
write your signature on for a marriage certificate or a
legal document. It's inky, it's calligraphy friendly.

Speaker 3 (05:19):
As a lefty though.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
See I can see the value outside of my own experience.

Speaker 4 (05:27):

this hotel with the amazing Pine Sunday.

The most expensive stow I've had this year.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
Sunday evening, fourteenth of August twenty twenty five, I paid
forty one dollars for drinks for three in the ground
floor bar, but which Bell had four plus dollars added
onto the charge, making it forty five ten percent edition.

Speaker 3 (06:38):

at a hotel bar and are being expensive.
