They say when it rains, it pours. And for you, it’s no joke. The minute the first drops start to plunge, so does your attitude. Out comes the grouch, the rude dude, the “hurry along” Sally.

The finishing touch: A cruddy umbrella promoting some long-gone-dot-com.

The solution: Don’t be a slave to the weather. Brave those raindrops with a little smile and a cool umbrella. Unfortunately it's a concept, but I love the idea ... it's a unique, funnel shaped umbrella (designed by Alex Woolley) that harnesses the flow of rainwater down into its handle, a water pistol. The user can fire at will, maintaining a constant flow of water as long as rain continues to fall!

You’d be amazed at how that can lift your spirits.

Even when the sky is falling.
