 “We are incredibly happy to be working with such a great talent. When we created this fragrance we immediately thought of Colin. He is the perfect embodiment of male strength and sensuality.”

The Air Umbrella.

Yes.

“This nifty little hand-held device contains a lithium battery, a motor, and a fan, and together they work to create a continuous cycle of air that flows out from the tip. This air flow is strong enough to constantly deflect rain particles away from the user, and the [Chinese design] team says that two people can fit under it comfortably….”

Currently overfunded on Kick-starter

This new umbrella creates a force-field of air to protect you from the rain (Science Alert)

Bob Geldof and Mary Robinson and a Macnas Bono at the One Young World summit in The National Convention Centre, Dublin last night.

Young people of the world.

You will all die horribly soon-ish.

Geldof said he know has that sense of foreboding – that one tiny event could shatter fragile international peace.
“Look at Ukraine, where once again another country can just walk in,can’t we do very little about it.
“Thank god there are no black flags today for those murderers in IS.
“Where is the little spark, that for no reason at all, will set off the next consecration?”
“I don’t know about you,but there is something deep and scary going on.”

Um.
