Its coming towards the time where I'll be ending my daily slog for the day. Unfortunately rain + rush hour city centre = despite my best ducking and weaving, me getting a couple of smacks of people under umbrellas that could keep small towns dry. I've nothing against umbrellas, I think they are a great invention, especially in the rain; even apes use them in the jungle. Just oblivious, self-centred, ignorant people.As far as I know, nobodys ever died in an umbrella accident, and I wouldn't want to be the first cause of that, so if your walking home with a brolly please remember that your brolly is wider than you.

Not quite a small rain one, but an evil umbrella nonetheless!

Just put your hands up in the air and whirls them around in anger, thus knocking any offending invading umbrella out of harms way...

This here must be the best thing i've read all day:D And only just today did i buy myself another umbrella, a feckin huge one that could keep a herd of cattle dry. Still i hate the way others almost slice my carotid or jugular as they are too *****ng lazy to move it 2 feet, at least have the courtesy to move it over people's heads as you pass...:mad:

Does anyone else find when they do have a brollie up, that you get a few random guys without umbrellas trying to steal a bit of shelter without asking? I usually hold mine up higher to avoid poking guys eyes out! But I might stop from the threat of the silent ninjas! This has happened a few times to me... I wish they would just ask!

I have a car. Why would I ever need an umbrella? Everywhere I park has a roof over it.
Especially after 5 or 6 pints.

They especially have a roof when you have been drinking?

Try people cycling with umbrellas! Epic stupidness.

Meh, I vote all the culchies go home.

Less people = less umbrellas.

I lol @ umbrellas. My head is at umbrella height, so rather than ducking to the side, weaving around them, I push them to the side with my arm. And the people (who are smaller than me) apologize.
