VINTAGE BIC TRIANGLE-SHAPED OVERSIZED BIROS OR PENS

Margaret from Paparangi

Has anyone got any of these pens lying around unused, VINTAGE BIC TRIANGLE-SHAPED OVERSIZED BIROS OR PENS, also on the lookout for some refills. I have found a pencil which is great, but alas no pens, I can't even recall what years these were manufactured and sold? The reason I ask is, I have lost the fine motor use of 2 fingers and my thumb, pending a scan to ascertain the reason for this, (I have joined the many thousands of New Zealanders having to wait for scans, etc), I have found my writing is affected, but these pens are just the right thickness and shape to enable me to grip and produce, at least, semi-literate hand writing! Please let me know.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
