Winter gloves for Iphone

Look like Fagin on your phone
Saturday, 17 January 2009, 13:28

THERE'S OBVIOUSLY a big demand for the Apple Ithingey amongst market traders, although the INQ suspects that Brit design house, Etre, got the wrong end of the stick when it designed the Etre Touchy gloves.

These are acrylic gloves with the tips of the thumb and forefinger exposed. That way you can still use one of Apple's fashionable gadgets - such as the Ithingey or Ipod - while the rest of your hand stays lovely and toasty.

Etre's informant almost certainly meant financial market traders but the Etre Touchy gloves make the wearer look like a street market trader or Fagin from Oliver Twist.

Well, Apple fanboys are obviously suckers for this kind of thing because Etre has already sold out of the medium size. (Does this mean that women are buying them?).

So for a mere £14.99 including postage and packing, you can buy the Touchy gloves in the Large size only online.

What next? Will Etre design beanie hats with the propeller already fitted? µ

Or...

For a tenth the price, you can buy generic gloves and cut the tip of the index finger off.

Fella's with small hands,

You know what they say about men with small hands? They wear small... gloves. Sorry but I couldn't think of anything funny.

Formatting Bug or just hidden Rules?

@interested_party: (lb)

I think there is no bug, der are (for whatever reason) just some formatting rules in place, which nobody cares to tell you about.(lb)

If i'm right my post has paragraphs and paragraphs followed by an empty line.(lb)(empty line below)

Regarding those Gloves: Only fashion-crazy people with a reduced sense for viability (read: Most women and gay men) will by those things.

Why? Simple Reasoning: If you need gloves, it means it is cold, which means your exposed thumb and forefinger will get very cold. So you either get frostbitten or put your hands inside your pockets to warm them, which means your fashionable "Etre Touchy"-Gloves don't do what gloves are meant for (read: keeping hands and fingers warm).

Best regards,

Suomynona

Formatting: One more time.

I could swear I've seen Comments with proper formatting regarding paragraphs, but it seems i can't find an example. br br
So normal formatting (simply pressing Return where paragraphs are supposed to be) doens't work, neither does tex-style formatting (blank line for normal paragraph, double blank-line for paragraph followed by a blank line). br
Maybe HTML-Tags like < br work, or formatting for comments is simply "off". br br

test br < br
