One of those clicky pencil things will never leak!

Bics do leak of you leave them in your arse pocket all day, upside down with you sitting on it, warming up the ink so it just flows out of the refill and fills your pocket... :mad:

the trick is to keep them pointing down in your pocket

Er no, you want the tip pointing up to the top of your pocket. With the cap on, preferably.

Best pens to not leak, and very nice to write with are Staedler Silver 404's, 50p at the local students union, last of ages and a very nice tip and cap.

you want the tip pointing down! otherwise,as said above, the ink warms up and leaks out the back.

I prefer them nice soft BIC ones, the ones that don't give you a throbing pain in your finger after an hours writing.
I've never had one leak on me

the only pen that will not leak and ink based would be the fisher spacepen the refil in under pressure so you can write upside down and under water and **** like that but the best thing of all it doesnt leak

Parker pens don't leak either, and those space pens don't write upside down, or underwater, my dad brought me one from Nasa and it's a load of tits

i'll swap you for this brilliant pencil in my hand-HB too

Parker pens- but not for fountains-unless you wanna pay a fortune. (No fine nibs available at a decent price)
or else one of those pens that cut through cans..

Fisher Space Pen is deadly and does so write on Aliens upside down covered in grease!

Cross Pens are nice too.

Levenger Pens at www.levenger.com

Mazzouli Officina are nice too http://www.mazzuoli.it/

uniball eyeball fineliner , i think its called.very good pen...:)

Parker pens tbh

Kold

Big thick marker

bic pens with their tops on wont leak but if you lose the top carry them nib side down in your pocket.

Ball point pens work using air pressure and a thick ink.

how ball point pens write

the ink around the ball acts as a seal (like when you hold liquid in a straw with your thumb)

when the nib is pointing up the ink gets rubbed off the ball and the seal is broken (like when you take your thumb away from the straw) and gravity takes its course soiling trousers with wanton abandon.

so when used responsibly bics are the ones for me.
