A bit slower this year; what with us being four months in, a third of the year gone already, and the smell of Christmas barely out of the woodwork! I managed, however, to find a new space-themed bit of stationary in Waterstones on Monday.
Designed by Nick Lerwill for
Suck UK (who provided the astronaut climbing a pencil last year), it's a shuttle eraser! With the main tank an orange clone of the old
BiC Biro four-colour jobbie, with the booster rockets being basically a white pencil (plain graphite lead) sharpened at both ends and cut in half. A plastic (nylon or 'propylene?) moulding of the manoeuvring engines, doubles up as a belly-clip for the three engine tanks. There's also a probably 'styrene or plexiglass ruler.
