Limerick Man Angered At Idea Theft

A man using his umbrella against the Limerick weather yesterday. And another fellah. 

A man from Limerick is said to be devastated, having seen what he claims was his idea, advertised on late-night television. Dermot Mulgrew (48), of no fixed-abode, but who once lived alone in a four-man tent in Jacob's Field (behind the secret goat-slaughtering facility) on the Dublin Road, claims that it was he who first thought up the idea for the 'Chillow'. The 'Chillow', a pillow which includes a small cooling mechanism within its innards, helps one enjoy sleep-filled nights, and is especially useful on warm, humid evenings (eight of which have been recorded in Limerick since 1976), as it remains cool against the user's warm head. Speaking with The Heraldy Press, Mulgrew said; 'I seen it on the telly on Saturday last two weeks, and warn't sure what it war what I war in observation of. One time I wished I had a big block of ice wrapped in a blanket when I fell asleep near a bonfire after a few pints, but sure, I was too tired to get up and away from the heat, and wound up with sunstroke. That's when the idea of the chillow hit me first, but now some other bollocks is after robbin' the idea and probably made hundreds off it. I bet he doesn't have to sleep near bonfires either'. Mulgrew won't be seeking legal advice in the matter, he'll just remain fairly annoyed. - Words by Bosco Coppell. Photo by Eleanor's Umbrella Pics.
