We are all different when it comes to heat.

But your comment that "Dr Willy is on point" is too extreme for me.

Hope the workshop is heated.

My colleague is in Minnesota for 2 more weeks. He is tired of going in and out of heated places. He said you put clothes, shed clothes off.

While I enjoyed cold weather skiing, now I will stick with heat.

Will I don't mind either, humid weather wears me out faster. Having lived in Las Vegas it could 115 out and 25% humidity and it didn't feel like 115. However here can be 85f and 75% humidity and feel like 140 which immediately causes swamp ass.

Me too.

I've been around the world and I..I..I..(I can't find my baby).

..humidity is the killer.

I take it that you aren't going to say sorry for your previous post then, Lisa

Maybe it's time for me to take my Man U curse out of hibernation

Thank god for that! Brrr, I read about the arctic blast o'er there.
We also have a cold snap, but not that cold, -15 to -20 this week. I hate the cold, but also got 25 cms of snow a few days ago. Anyway, hope all is well folks. Happy New Year!

A few pics of my cross country ski trip a few weeks ago.

A couple of Brits who have never been in 40°+ heat tell me it’s nothing…

Well....I once had a girl that said I could do what....errr

I'm going with Florida in August/September, when the heat and humidity are both around 100.

The hottest most uncomfortable was a windowless hotel room w/o AC in Penang. I felt like I was being suffocated under a hot wet wool blanket. I gave up and sat at a mamak stall on the corner of Chulia St and Penang Rd all night waiting for the early morning minibus to Hat Yai.

Good one! I had neve experienced dry heat until I walked out of the airplane in Kuwait it was 45 C in August. I prefer the dry heat for some reason. I sweat a lot more in humid heat like Bangkok.

A few years ago in September my wife and I took the train from Dammam to Al Hasa, about 60km SW. At that time, Dammam/Khobar was its typical 45° with about 95% humidity. Ugh! Anyway, we arrived in Al Hasa and it was even hotter at 48° but far far less humid. Still hotter than blazes, but I didn't feel like I was getting boiled.

Cool pics as always MM, HNY to you.

I believe that Mandy - Let's live in Ulanbaataar (-40 during winter nights) - is the TD man to talk too about cold winters.

Days like these...



I even managed to keep my shorts on for the walk to and from the gym.

New Zealand - Wellington
Finished my last 3mth contract there August 2022, half a winter was quite enough; what a sh1t climate; windy, cold, grey



And a reminder, this was 'peak summer' 2 January 2021 hill trail running in rain/fog - the hill trails about the only thing I miss

Loose elastic, if you are forgetting to lace up the strings to your jocksstrap could be early onset Alzheimer, it is not limited to brighter.

How do you know it was a loose elastic and I'm not resisting the urge to whack it out and flash random passers by in the park?
