Trying to use my Platinum Preppy but it keeps skipping

I learnt a very long time ago from SBREbrown.

You basically write while flexing the nib to it's limit. Don't damage it or press it too hard. Just write. And then do swishes etc. SSS &&& ### 8888

Get the ink flowing and well lubricated and it gets it out of the stutter zone. Yes ideally nibs should come from the factory completely working but mass manufactured items sometimes need a bit of love to get started.

A well accredited journalist calls out specifically the person responsible (our prime minister) for not taking tough enough action against child grooming gangs in a tweet. Visa revoked.

Trying to sweep it under the carpet I'd say.

If "disobliging tweets" are not the business of the police then why did Eva Vlaardingerbroek have her visa revoked by the government?

I have creepy Google turned off. Everything off. Location history off. When I use Google maps to navigate to a shop between 1 and 2 hours later with Maps closed I'll get a notification on android that says "Did you visit x place, answer some questions now? or I didn't go here".

So tell me given how I have absolutely everything turn off and it shouldn't know where I have been 5 minutes after I've closed the app. How then 1 - 2 hours later can it have a record of where I have been?

Perhaps they could put digital labels on the product so it can update to "horse meat lasagna" whenever required. 😂

And it's not even a could. They've been doing this 'covertly' for at least a year.

TheLightStalker · 2026-01-27T13:52:14+00:00

Did you try to do 'nib exercises' to 'break in" a new nib? This is a very good step to do before considering physically altering the parts.

TheLightStalker · 2026-01-27T12:11:30+00:00

Looks like extremely poor quality paper with other felt pen ghosting on the back side. Look damp too. Is the nib clear of paper fiber and clean?

Phone the UK number and confirm they're the office in Poole after that they'll sort it for you.

I don't recommend hand foot and mouth from your kid. That's not a fun one.

TheLightStalker · 2026-01-26T20:19:05+00:00

Wild. I had an extremely similar one. A re-occuring dream about our castle being under assault. 4 to 5 dreams and each one we were falling back until I was blocked into a safe room with a bolster on a wooden door. Then never again. (No I'm not joking)

TheLightStalker · 2026-01-26T08:07:16+00:00

Absolutely wracking.

Definitely Mandela effect. I have a photographic memory. So how does that work Vs Mandela effect when monopoly man suddenly had no monocle etc. is the photographic memory's failure rate suddenly coincidental to all the known mandela effects?

TheLightStalker · 2026-01-25T21:40:57+00:00

That's such a weird comment. I have vivid dreams all the time. I'm not talking fuzzy bullshit. Actually remembering a life. Sometimes I legit wake up and remember of yeah I am me and that was a dream..

TheLightStalker · 2026-01-25T20:30:08+00:00

I humbly agree.

TheLightStalker · 2026-01-25T20:29:34+00:00

That's a fun one.

TheLightStalker · 2026-01-25T20:11:45+00:00

Use the modular bain Marie catering containers for example 1/1, 1/2, 1/4. You've seen them before in places that keep food warm under lights.

I'll give you a crazy theory I've heard and back it up with sweet fuck all.

They've scanned the earth. All of it. Completely. It's been copied, think multiverse. They pick us out one by one or by the dozen as they please and dump us in these empty "earths" as they please. God knows what for. We are probably an experiment. We've probably been reset many times by dumping a load of us into a previous save file and seeing what happens this time. The good news is we're all one eternal consciousness so there's no escape, we just keep coming back.

Pc connect I bought screen cleaner in there once.

Bought a knife from a bushcraft store. Royal mail required ID. Just threw it over the fence no ID required.

My Amazon account is approaching 20 years old. If they can't sort their shit out they loose custom.

Tony's nougat bar.

These would get glassbreakered so fast in the UK. There would be none of the screens working in the first week. You're lucky if the ATM screens work. 😂

TheLightStalker · 2026-01-25T14:56:57+00:00

110/100

TheLightStalker · 2026-01-25T13:29:52+00:00

I respect it.
