The Tablet Pack ($46) lets you carry your phone, wallet, keys, change and iPad in one handy, stylish, practically invisible giant yoke strapped to your leg.
The manufacturer might also consider including some kind of flotation device for when you’re thrown into the canal after being mocked, beaten and robbed.
Sir, – Today, I came across a new type of discrimination in Ireland. As a landlord, I was refused insurance on the contents of a property that I have let, because my tenant is “not in full-time employment or a stay-at-home parent looking after a child”.
…I replied that this was terrible discrimination against the unemployed, part-time workers, disabled people, pensioners and students and that it would lead to landlords refusing to let to these people and increase homelessness etc. I was told [by the insurance agent]: “We are regulated by the Central Bank”.
I could understand if I had been told that the policy excess would be greater, but to refuse contents insurance on these grounds surely contravenes the Status Equality Act of 2000 and also contravenes the UN Convention on Human Rights, as it could adversely affect a person’s right to a home.

DIVISIONS HAVE surfaced between the Government parties over the Croke Park deal after Tánaiste Eamon Gilmore of Labour rejected demands from two Fine Gael Ministers for key elements of the agreement to be scrapped.
He was speaking after Minister for Transport Leo Varadkar called for the suspension of public service pay increments and Minister for Health James Reilly raised the prospect of cutting overtime and premium pay.
“Frankly, I would prefer if individual Ministers didn’t get up every Monday morning and express a point of view – a personal point of view – on [the] Croke Park agreement or budget formation or whatever. And that where issues like this have to be addressed, that they’re addressed collectively by Government,” he said.
Ooooh.
You. Outside. Now.
