I managed to break two umbrellas today. Definitely a personal best!

Bravo! 🙂
So we should all buy you an umbrella for christmas? :p
It was quite good going, even for me.
And I think not on the presents – my track record with umbrellas is NOT good (as you might have guessed) and I couldn’t guarantee that it would survive.
Also, umbrellas are the last resort with me. Unless is it absolutely bucketing it down, I am normally fine with a hat or scarf over my head. Trust me, it’s safer for all concerned if I don’t use an umbrella – passing pedestrians who are in danger of being crippled by me and my weapon; me because holding an umbrella occupies a hand that could be better used holding shopping bags; and most importantly the umbrella because I am certain to destroy it sooner rather than later.
That was the whole idea… if we all get you an umbrella, then hopefully you’ll have a supply for the year. 😀
But I would feel bad because I was breaking my Christmas presents.
That, and if you are determined to get me gifts, I can think of things I *much* rather want 😉
……!
Books! DVDs! CDs! Jewelry!
You are a sick, sick man…
*shakes head*
I didn’t say anything! :-p
You didn’t have to say anything – you dot-dot-dotted and exclaimed in an insinuating manner. I have known you too long my fine feathered french fry – to my eternal misfortune I know how your brain works.
I know what you meant.
I think of myself as a doughnut rather than a french fry…
A feathered doughnut?
Ewww, what a horrible thought.
As if a feathered french fry is a better thought. :p

It’s a much better thought.
Well, who am I to argue with the lovely lady?
Precisely.
