Glove with smiley faces aims to make journeys happier for everyone

I look forward to the kickstarter for a device aimed to tug at your forelock and loop a 'thanks for not killing me!' message, or a smiley mask for gazelles to wear in the savannah to stop them being killed by the stuff that kills them.

It's hardly that is it ?  You sound as angry as some of the motorists out there.

You got anger from that? Why then buckle up, snowflake.

I'm assuming your point (and I'm filling in the colossal gaps, here, so do correct me if you can be bothered) is that it doesn't represent deference. Well, my opinion is that it does. The onus for the creation of a happy environment should be on the ones shitting in the sandpit. Just in case you struggle with the stats, it's drivers who are doing ALL the shitting, and ALL the products aimed at a shit-free sandpit are being peddled to the ones doing ZERO of the shitting. The penny dropping yet?

You might think Chris Hoy's got it right. But it doesn't take an angry person to think he's barking up the wrong tree, and in so doing, playing to the ones who are actually causing All. The. Problems. 

By all means, at this point add some angry stuff to play to the image you have of me if you like. Like imagine me calling you a fucking pointless twat or something.

Did you know that before they broadcast that in colour, they used red to colour the performers as black didn't show up that well?

Thats presumably the same reason that the First Doctor's TARDIS console room - which looked white - was actually pale green because that looked *more* white on black and white telly... I'll get my coat.

Depressing, isn't it? Likely to have the opposite intended effect in the minds of some drivers.

I quite like the idea of the gloves, but £30 is a bit steep and they look like the kind of gloves I'd be wearing around this time of year rather than during December.

My thoughts too. I might just push £20, but I do already have gloves and £30 is too much for something which is taking a punt delivery- and performance-wise.
