Whilst looking online for a pen that i had seen a Disability adviser at the Jobcenter using i found this

Arthritis Hand Gun

But then i thought .. if you live in a culture where guns are the norm .. then this could be considered as a genuine disability aid , since it redresses any imbalance between those who have no medical issues and those who cannot handle a normal gun . If the society that this "aid" comes from allows handguns then where is the problem with making the "normal" accessible to everyone who is regarded as responsible .

Anyway .. enough rambling and wasted typing , the pen i am thinking of ..was multicoloured and was a very slight "S" shape , and apparently a normalish price ..anyone got any ideas? Cos i tried it and i loved it :) (the Brain fog made me forget where she got it ..honest !!)

Hi Rich

Think you might be right ... go back and ask, and get it written down! There are so many of these pens on the market the chances of finding 'your' one must be close to let me see ... nil!!RollEyes
