RUGBY AND TENNIS commentator Nick Mullins shared one of his habits on Twitter back in May. Like a child in primary school curious as to what would happen if you sharpened a pencil all the way back to the eraser, he’s been unable to throw out his “faithful companion”. It looks kind of cute.
A final afternoon's colouring ahead. Big thanks to a faithful companion, my pencil, who saw me through the whole season & retires tomorrow. pic.twitter.com/KCPSHs4HUF
Despite the fact that he promised retirement for the pencil in May, it made an appearance in Paris for the French Open.
Just enough lead left in the pencil. This little lad was due to retire at Twickenham, but he's hanging on bravely for one last go in Paris. pic.twitter.com/YHseLFMrbp
The saga now continues as the pencil is currently living it up at Wimbledon. This pencil has a better life than the rest of us.
So stubby you can barely see him anymore, but Old Faithful's made it to Centre Court (I just couldn't leave him behind in Paris). pic.twitter.com/Fca3nyiwnc
