I hate that my car battery freezes at night if it gets below -25.

 

Meaning that most every night from December through February, I have to drive over to our garage about a 10-minute walk from our house, leave the car and trudge home through the snow trying not to freeze my bollocks off. And then get up in the morning and trudge back first thing.

-25? Where do you live? And why do you have a car and not a sled and wolves?

Went to the doctor this morning & had what he described as a seizure right there in front of the boy, I'm currently lying in hospital with pneumonia & pleurisy.

 

The good news is that my missus believes me now.

Shits getting real. Mooks going down. 

 

Can you catch it on the interweb if you share a forum thread?

 

Also, If Mook has paid 12 months membership but becomes incapicitated can he claim it back?

 

Seems fair.

Literally in Siberia. Was -50 last week.

 

No sled dogs around here. Some of the natives up to the northeast of me use reindeer to pull sleds, but down here we use a car with good snow tyres.

Pictures one person driving the car while the other daft fuckers remain on the sleds.

Many decent pubs with beer gardens?......

 

 

Thought not!

Count yourself lucky mate. It was around -2c here in the UK the other day. 

It was so bad that I had to wear socks to bed.

Mook have you tried a hot toddy? They can be very effective and soothing.

 

  1. Pour water into kettle and boil.
  2. Slice lemon and place whole cloves into the lemon slice. Place this into a mug or glass.
  3. Spoon the honey into the mug, leaving the spoon in the mug and add lemon juice if desired.
  4. Add whiskey and pour over boiling water, stir well to melt honey.
  5. Shove it up your arse.

Been in the -30's windchill where I live recently so I have to get to an indoor garage at 6am to make sure I get a space to take the bus to work and school. Yesterday, my buddy parked at an outdoor lot and when he came back at like 10:30pm his car didn't start. Brutal stuff.

Because British people never moan about the weather we get! 

 

I've been in - 27c and genuinely loved it. But that was on holiday and I knew I was coming home a week later, months of that is probably less than excellent. 

 

The Brits are complete cunts no matter the weather. 

 

Winter and the country comes to a standstill with half an inch of snow.

Autumn and it’s a nightmare with wet leaves and it’s dangerous. 

Spring and it’s hayfever. 

Summer and it’s too hot, it’s a different type of hot to abroad. 

 

Fuck off and give me sun and 30 degrees all year round.

Let's be serious about this mate, 23-25 is perfect. 

 

Anything above that and we're all burning and moaning about it.
