I was a little bemused earlier today to see that JML, the crap tele marketing company are offering to sell viewers of ITV a set of pens, one of which is a fountain pen which you may use to poke holes in coke cans with, should you ever feel the need.

Also included in this 'must have' offer is one of those biro's which writes in two different colours. These have been around since....well, as long as I can remember. I recall having several of them as a child.

The thing that bemused me was, who uses multicoloured biro's? How often, when writing a thank-you letter to a maiden aunt, are you seized with the irresistable urge to switch nibs and include a passage in red ink?

More to the point, who makes the bloody things?

Perhaps you can think of an even more pointless product, though I doubt it.
