    The first thing I do when I get to my hotel room down south is switch off all raidiators and open all windows! They keep closing the windows when they come and make up the bed, but they get opened again. I have the window open in the depths of winter, i like fresh air.
    We have a very large window in our bathroom - its for escaping in the event of a fire so if it was open the whole world would be able to see my bottom in the shower and I'm afraid the world is just not ready for that yet

    I regularly swim with a guy who's swum the channel (English and Irish) and can swim in 7 degree Celcius water without a wetsuit. In fact wetsuits are frowned on in the open water events he enters. He's planning on swimming to Alcatraz, which is nowhere near as bad or as hard as the film would have many believe, apparently. He has a rather retund shape however. I would get hypothermic in minutes in those temperatures. It's not so much toughness though as physiology. Not that I am calling you fat.

    Rain-X though? That sounds like good stuff.
    I had some left over after I cleaned the car. God, this is beginning to sound like I have a serious cleaning OCD

    God I need to think of a decent plan B.....
