Fuck me it's cold out there today

[The-Sir]

Where be here be? Alaska? Canada? Sweden?

 

Probably Newcastle.

[Remmie]

Ooooh, get her! I was clarifying for the fair weather folk in the sweaty regions.

Haha that came across as if I got sand in my vagina aboot it didn't it? It didn't, I'm just saying in UK we get far lower temperatures than what is on paper due to wind chill. I knew a Swede who said it was colder in Britain than Sweden due to the wind.

 

Obviously Canada is a different league altogether, eh?

[Johnni]

After Wednesday its going to be proper cold the weather says. As Remmie says the wind chill is the biggest bitch as you watch the weather and it says 10 degrees, not bad but feels more like -1 when you step put of the door.

[Alan Sex]

Cananada.

[Fugitive]

Just got in the hottest house ever. I feel fucking sick and heating ain't even on.

[Liverpool lad]

Just been on the news then, they reckon it will be that cold they are telling the arl' ones to take their library books back

[jacco maccaco]

Well I'm sat in a house with no central heating.

 

Bastard packed in this morning, cant re-light it either, Spent the best part of the day trying to get a decent emergency call out.

 

Tuesday is the best I can get.

 

Went out late this afternoon borrowing and buying radiators to keep the kids and the house warm

 

Thankfully its not going to be frosty here tonight.

 

How our grandparents survived with coal fires, newspaper wrapped hot bricks and outside toilets is beyond me.

 

Still, reckon I can talk my wife in to an early night....

I'm 32 and just 3 years ago only had a coal fire as the heating of the house, fortunately we had an inside toilet, but still had an outside one in case someone was in the bathroom.

 

A coal fire in this weather used to be ace, you'd be sweating your tits off in one room of the house and getting frost bite in another.

 

No family near by you can land on tomorrow night?

I never knew you lived in Sunderland.

[melons]

I never knew you lived in Sunderland.

I felt archaic writing that.

 

In the 21st century its still seen as the norm here to have coal fires as your only form of heating.

[Guest Dog Chaser]

A brass monkey is shivering outside. Fucking global warming.

[RedinSweden]

 

Cold weather just starting here. It has been mild as anything so far this winter. They reckon the snow will stay for Christmas which is good. Be nice to get a fresh snowfall next week just to top it up though.

[Uncle_Meat]

Coal fires are fucking ace. I miss my one. Now that I'm somewhere semi-civilised (for Welsh values of semi-civilisation, where the population of my area exceeds 50 people but still less than 1000) I've actually got gas. Wow! Gas! Fancy that.

 

 

Still got an outside toilet though. Nowt more satisfying than melting the scrim of ice on your khazi with your piss.

As my Grandad used to say "Its not cold until the curtains freeze to the window"

 

Sorry for not replying, managed that early night after all...which involved 10 hours of sleep and nothing else.

 

I am seriously considering having a dual fuel stove fitted, might even have a back boiler too, the house is 1930's and can take it no problem

 

Hate being a slave to British Gas, and European Gas supplies.

 

I know a stove would involve a lot more work, but it must be more satisfying.

Bee's knees.

 

Depending on your fuel type they can be a pain, but for heating and cooking at the same time. I loved my rayburn even though it was something from the 50's and powered by coal.

[Nomad]

It's 40°c here, that's a little bit too warm.

 

Bastard!

 

Where abouts in Perth you from?

[Guest davelfc]

Was in Perth a couple of weeks ago. Give me the cold here any day, you can have your flies swarming around your head as soon as you poke your head outside the door any day as far as I'm concerned.

[Dan Vito Corleone]

It feels much milder today.

[melons]

you should be sweating your knob off, how's the packing going?

[Dan Vito Corleone]

I'm entering the final phases. Thankfully.

Yep, it really is different. You can go outside in -10 here and be semi comfortable as it's a really dry cold - I remember North Wales as a lad when it was cold and damp and it went right through you, different kind of bone numbing cold altogether.

[Ted]

It should be cold; it's winter.

 

Knobheads.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Cananada.

 

I was stationed in Medicine Hat, Alberta for all of 1985. Boss winters with tons of snow. We had -40+ on the wind chill factor quite often. I remember waiting for a bus to get back to camp whilst pissed in a t shirt. Surprisingly the natives thought we were mad, but in a funny way it didn't actually feel that cold. Always preferred winter to summer and the cold never really bothered me. But now with the onset of arthritis at the grand ols age of 45 it's pissing me off.

[RedinSweden]

Well, the snow came a bit early. Looks like it will end up about a foot deep if it carries on as predicted. Then we are forecast between -2 and -12 all the way until christmas, which means it should stay.

 

I love driving in this sort of weather, it is a right laugh.

 

[Josef Svejk]

Minus 19 when I got up this morning...
