Presumably some new innovation in umbrellas which wards off rain using static electricity or anti-gravity or similar. Also, not raining.<br /><br />Quite like the Japanese tourists, really; they rarely get irritated if am not able to answer their questions about where some obscure street is, and they don't glare when they see one in a gay pride parade. A lot of the American tourists do; assume are from some godforsaken hole in Mid-West where gays are warded off by Ku Klux Klan or something. Why are these people allowed passports?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3743434389551415234-8747916449726946232?l=myblog.rsynnott.com'/></div>Robert Synnotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12125935382858758107noreply@blogger.com2
