I just had a revelation that will probably make me look very, very stupid, but I’m going to tell you about it anyway because it’s just changed my life (no heckling at the back).
You know those blotters that you used to get on your desk? The ones with the really nice absorbent paper that you could tear off after a bit of use? Well, it turns out that they’re not for doodling after all! Seriously, you weren’t meant to use them to draw life pictures at all, they were for ‘blotting’ (clues in the name I guess).
I only found this out when I decided to treat myself to a fountain pen. When I say ‘treat’, I mean pop one in the trolley at ASDA because it was 87p and I just can’t let a bargain go when I see one. Anyway, I’ve been using this pen and whilst on a customer site filling out an oh-so-important contract, the nice fella took the contract after I’d signed it and popped it text-down on the blotter on his desk.
No longer did I have to wave my but of paper to dry it, it was dried on the blotter!!!
Yes, I know in this day and age of 3d movies, all your music in a one inch square of plastic and JLS that this might sound a bit odd, but I totally believe that every day is a school day and my life is now better for it.
I’ll get me coat.
Oh, of course we sell these things too, so you can go get yourself a
blotter from our site.

Getting through a lot of office paper at work? Well when the boss went away for a holiday at one American office the workers decided to amuse themselves by disposing of their used paper, print outs and reports in a specially designated area – the boss’s office.
So great was the buildings paper usage that the paper soon started to mount up. By the time their boss returned the paper was deeper than a man.
Check out the pictures of this prank voted best ever office pranks below.
Don't forget to keep your office fully stocked with
A4 paper.
