    you know what pisses me off?

    old biddies in the rain! little feckers and their brollies,

    due to their small stature they are perfect height to nail me in the eyes with a passing umbrella

    due to their cheap nature they dont replace it when the plastic caps fall off the spikes, turning their umbrella into a multi-eye removing rain repelling contraption.

    due to their slow movement you are forced to walk around them, taking this as an insult they then lunge the brollie at you.

    due to their feeble form they are too weak for a good kick in the fanny. when the above events occur

    [/end friday rant]

    off to the pub! toodles.

    Grow a little more and you'll be p!ssed of with a lot more people! :mad: :rolleyes:

    Majority of umbrella weilding monkey's seem to be at just the right height to attack any one over 6 foot.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,668 ✭✭✭nlgbbbblth


    Umbrellas are soul destroying.

    The small ones blow inside out if it's windy.
    The large version is very awkward to carry especially if you're on public transport.

    When you bring one in the morning you never need it going home in the evening.

    I'd rather take my chances and get wet.

    Sometimes you need an umbrella on boards to fend off the rain of jokes. Lately, it's been raining cats and dogs!:D

    but your neglecting my last point, if they are taller and nail me in the eyes, they are entitling themselves to a kick in the nuts


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 629 ✭✭✭sterculelum


    I like umbrellas. They've gotten a pretty bad rep recently... but they're not bad. They should make ones with bands and stuff on them so that cool people could use them.

    A Che Guevara one. That could be a craze...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 773 ✭✭✭#Smokey#


    if its raining just stalk someone who has an umbrella and then they will give it to you out of fear of stalkers like you or u can just run like hell and piss ur self too none will notice just say it was the rain :D


    ps gordon this is joke


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 629 ✭✭✭sterculelum


    Put it in the joke forum, ffs! Am I right?

    (couldn't be bothered with the small print so just pretend) ps gordon this is also a joke


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 773 ✭✭✭#Smokey#


    well gordon and i had a little misunderstanding the other day man.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 629 ✭✭✭sterculelum


    Did it involve castration? I hope not...

    Btw, Smokes, looks like it's just you and me left in this town tonight. Kudos, old bean, kudos.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 703 ✭✭✭ThrownAway


    Umbrellas.

    I always think that they could have invented something ''better''

    they just seem so ...so old fashioned

    please someone invent something to protect me from the rain that's up to my standards :)

    Apologies that was ridiculous


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 629 ✭✭✭sterculelum


    Yeah umbrellas are **** but they're kind of good in a classic way. Like dildos. They just have that old-fashioned appeal. Tried and tested. If it ain't broke... I really can't think of anything better that wouldn't be socially dangerous.

    Maybe something light but durable that you attach to your head and it shadows your whole body...? Just an idea...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 773 ✭✭✭#Smokey#


    well those ones are cheaper but they might give ya an STD

    STD = smelly testiclular dripping


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 629 ✭✭✭sterculelum


    or... Sticky Toffee Diddies.

    Oh, I impress even myself!

    :D In other words a attachable umbrella


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 629 ✭✭✭sterculelum


    No!

    An "Attacha-Brella". Trademark that mofo!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 703 ✭✭✭ThrownAway


    If it starts to drizzle and you just straightened your hair

    STOP

    Attacha Brella


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 629 ✭✭✭sterculelum


    Should we go into business about this?

    I should warn you: I am quite obviously a transsexual (the female -> male one) and this is quite obvious on first encounter. It shouldn't affect my sales technique.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 703 ✭✭✭ThrownAway


    Hmmm yes I can see it all now

    Thrownaway and sons

    [You're my transexual son]

    Depends...are you fully done with the op because if you have a penis you shouldn't have an umbrella


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 773 ✭✭✭#Smokey#


    yea man he has the good looks of a bird and the smart mind if a man yet he hasnt got the balls to go for it lol


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 629 ✭✭✭sterculelum


    I'm halfway there. My op is in two parts so I've got a vagina and testicles but no penis. It looks pretty cool and I'm fiddling with it now. It's really hard to go to the toilet though.

    I sometimes cover it with my Attacha-Brella.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 171 ✭✭DilbertPartII


    why fear the rain? we could be kids every once in a while...have fun!:cool:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,857 ✭✭✭✭Dave!


    Umbrellas are for wussies!!! Just hold your hand above your head!!!

    It helps if you have freakishly big hands!!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,838 ✭✭✭Doomspell


    Not raining here. Sun has been shinning all day


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,857 ✭✭✭✭Dave!


    shinning eh?

    "..uhh, don't you mean Shining?"
    "Shh! You want to get suuueeed?"

    quality :cool:

    I go now... ¬_¬

    Definitely, I'd swear one of these days I'll just grab the blasted thing off someone and snap it over my knee! Genuinely have nearly had my eye gouged out by one twit with their umbrella too low (I'm only 5'6" FFS!), had a large scrape just under my eye for days.
    Think they need to make it such that they have a much greater slope when deployed so that they're no wider than the shoulders and the ends are pointing straight down when open, then they couldn't possibly be a threat to peoples' eyes and faces.
