Not me ... I feel the cold much too easily since I was 21. I 'm daft ... but I ain't stupid!!!

Suppose thermal underwear at bit of a turnoff.
Must be my age I was in 3 layers, big coat and the car heater on and was watching these youngsters going past oblivious to the cold.

We run a game in our house at New Year to see who can spot the 1st hungover, tshirt wearing person going along the Prom. Extra points for seen with bottle in hand, peeing in public etc.
We also have a list to tick off for spottingt he 1st jogger ( excluding the fun run), 1st kayak, 1st tandem, 1st unicyclist, etc.

Hmmm ... if anyone catches you watching them, I suggest you cop for an insanity plea. It usually works for me.

Some things you cant miss. Love the new toilet they've got on the Prom, most of the neds cant be bothered forking out 20p so nip behind it and pee against it. Ironic.
It's washed most days though.

I'll take that as a compliment Sandra, seeing as you've seen me up close and personal. But close your eyes for a moment, think of my posts, now what age would you say?

For future reference: Gilo changed his avatar from Johnny Depp to some hunky dude on a sunny beach wearing skimpy swimming trunks. Not to be rude - but I don't think it was actually Gilo himself!!

Indeed it isn't me, though it's the closest body double I could find.

Yesterday I went out for the messages in the late morning. I was extraordinarily lazy and nipped out in the car. I new it was cold and there was a freezing wind blowing down the high street but I thought I'd only be out of the car for a minute and just went out in a jumper and no coat.

Whilst out I was rushing from shop to shop until I bumped into PoP. He was wearing a jumper too and no coat. He commented on it and then eased into conversation.

We started talking about the James Bond film. I started to freeze. PoP looked comfortable, at ease and oblivious to the howling icey wind. I didn't want to be impolite and say I was cold, and it was very nice to catch up, we chatted and chatted. My upper half felt awful and my head began to hurt. PoP was relaxed an seemed as snug as a bug. We said our goodbyes, he walked back to his office, I rushed home to a hot bath.

I'm always going to put a hat and coat on in future.

Is it the blonde Bond...if it is he does look impressive...

At work last week some of us were discussing the new Bond film. Someone said how there had been a reversal of the famous 'emerging from the sea in a skimpy bathing suit' scene and that it was Mr Bond who provided the excitement this time round.

'Oh,' said one of the younger members of staff, 'you mean that Halle Berry scene?'

I felt my age. Don't think the lass had even heard of Ursula Andress

That sounds like the story BC told me about colleagues at his work looking blankly at the name Bryan Ferry.

It is and he is. Though he does pout an awful lot in the film. I've been practicing my pouting when out shopping on the high street.

Looks like there's more than just his lips pouting

Wasn't fussed about seeing the film but quite fancy it now.

It's definitely no longer shirt weather! It's sodding BALTIC out there. I had to go and buy a nice soft wooly jumper today!!

(Ahem! When I say wooly jumper ... I did not mean in the Aberdonian manner. I don't have a pair of wellies.)

Anyway, no more shivering for me. I got a scarf and gloves too!

I wish I was in Australia!

Anywhere that's hotter than here!

Got back from Doncaster yesterday and the entertainment is free when walking back to our hotel from the restaurant!

Just passing all the people going to the night clubs wearing next to nothing on a freezing evening!!!

Made us feel cold just watching them!!!
