feck me it's cold

[scooterscot]

I spent 2 years in Munich winters and -18C is nothing unusual. Get used to it and go buy yourself a decent coat and gloves from Sport Schuster just off Marienplatz in town, top floor.

Got a pair of booties from the sport schuster a couple of months ago 'made in Germany' it reads.

Wifey just brought me a hot water bottle. Toasty feet = happy feet.

Feels quite nice out at the moment. Still only -2 in London. I managed to cycle to work at 5am this morning so can't be that bad.

FFS, you get up at 5am and you don't call it bad?

I hope they are paying you good money in that place you work for

Serves you right for being a weak willed addict.

Tough sh!t.

Yeah, but I like it. Down to the ground floor in the lift, out through the security doors into a little square, everyone one wrapped up in coats apart from me; just a shirt and jeans. A quick blast of arctic wind around the nether regions followed by a hit of nicotine gets one rock hard for the next clientco problem...

When I was in Munich it was -19c. -18c is a sign of AGW.

I remember working just outside of Munich and it was 32c yet still being able to see snow on the Alps

I can think of only one industry where being rock hard helps to solve clientco problems.

It is jolly nippy out there. The slight wind makes a big difference.

-3 today when cycling in. Plus I was cycling into the wind - it felt like a knife cutting through me.
