Umbrellas

TeddyTedson

These weapons need banning right now. It's a disgrace Joe.
In town and two people attacked me with the damn things and then pretended they didn't mean it. I'm lucky I wasn't blinded.
It wasn't even raining much ffs!
I was given a plastic cup last night in some dive in town and asked for a pint glass and was told they couldn't give me one because of insurance reasons. My back side!!!
Pint glasses are not weapons ffs. Don't get me started on that issue!
In this day and age for god sake when people have internet and phones and everything yet we can't have a glass!!!! The mind boggles!
Anyway if we're doing this nanny state thing we need to do it right and get umbrellas off the streets!!!
Sorz for rambling a little but people must agree with me here!?

Agreed. At the very least your umbrella should be proportional to you size. I saw someone with an umbrella that was at least 5 times too big for them

There's always the risk though in busy night joints after a certain hour that some muppet who can't handle his drink might lob a glass at someone or break it off the counter and use it in a fight.

I agree with you that some umbrella users need to be more consciouness, I've nearly had my eye taken out a few times this week as well.

Especially people who bring them to sporting events, and block the view of half the people near them.

You'll be saying this to the rain one day.

In the old days on the Canal End anyone who tried that got a share of apples etc. bouncing off the umbrella. Then with a big angry head they'd keep looking back and end up getting a crack themselves resulting in a big cheer, thus really getting them angrier and go off looking for a steward.

I don't get why people carry a cheap umbrella in a storm. It just blows away and they leave it in the middle of the path.

Yes the umbrellas should come inbuilt with the path.

ella ella. Under my numb-berella.

I've never had an umberella. They were always viewed as being decadent in our house. I think you're either an umberella person or a getting soaked to the jocks type. It's hard to change from one side to the other. We're more "putting up your hood" sort of people.

Umbrellas should be upturned round the end so your feet don't get soaked and some sort of drainage system to allow it to run off.

We live in Ireland. We need umbrellas.

It was lashing rain when I got into town yesterday. Forgot my umbrella, but it was one of those small handbag ones and they're useless really.

Off I went and I got a big weapon of an umbrella. My first big one. Delighted with it. Walked all over town, singing in the rain. And it works.

Im not sure about using it in the wind. But im sitting here googling unbreakable and windproof (in very strong winds) umbrellas. And they're out there. That would be a good investment.

Never thought i'd be so happy over big umbrellas.

Are umbrella's bought based on penis size like how cars are?

Penises come with a hood.

Maybe some rain gear would be better. Especially if you're walking around busy city streets. If you're in the suburbs or down the country somewhere then sing and dance in the rain all you want. In town show a bit of sense.

Idiots give out about them because they forgot to bring/buy one

That's me. Back when you had to wait an hour or two for a Taxi I'd often walk home in the bucketing rain, not a bother, and if there was a friend or two present there'd definitely be a puddle war.

Absolutely drenched and not givin' a bollocks - actually the thought of getting into warm soft clothes at home made it all the more fun.

Good times.
