Ha, made it (long)

Ah, in that case, you would make like Bonwick and flail out of your pit to
blast a snowbank with the brown 12-bore. He blamed the Glühwein, but I
reckon he was full of shit.

 

"Posh" as in kept clean and well supplied with bog roll, or just
better than getting a frostbitten arse?

 

Imodium.

 

Cubicles with soft bogroll, squirty soap, running water albeit cold, paper
towels and a Super Ser-style gas heater belting it out. So, yes.

 

It is the dogs.
Wear it a *lot* for working outside in the winter.

 

Ah, I almost had a bad experience this year when it came to taking a
dump...

Donald and I were drinking pints of gluwhein on Thursday night and
when it came to bed time I'd just got my boots and over trousers off
when I was taken by a sudden need for a shit. I only made it as far as
the path before having to go so the only option left was to kick a
load of snow over it and let frost do the rest. It's a good job we had
plenty of snow that night or it might have been a bit smelly 6' from
my tent.

Needless to say I stopped drinking pints of gluwhein from that point
onwards.

You missed a good one.

That's what drunken Germans are for.

 

Christ onna unicycle. Have you seen the state of those impossibly
fit/vain bastards on that site? If I want some winter outanna bout
underdoodles, M&S thermals are about as beefcake as I go.

I sit here typing this in charcoal grey M&S 2009 at this moment in this
bloody cold building. Mindbleach can be bought at your nearest corner
shop.

 

There are other weights, and several different weaves. IIRC what I was
wearing at the weekend was a Skin 180 undershirt and a 260 top one.
Still needed the fleece gilet under my shell jacket, mind.

 

I can get it at discounted rates from the club, e.g.
Bodyfit 260 Tech Top £49.95 /£74.95
Bodyfit 200 Oasis Crewe £36.95 /£49.95
Bodyfit 200 Mondo Zip £42.95 /£59.95
Bodyfit 200 3/4 leggings £32.50 /£44.95

 

my mother used to say that. she's wrong in most of her assertions...

We had snow friday last week and 16c on saturday, so i took the car
out with the roof down. we had snow last night, and this morning i
shovelled the driveway in a t-shirt. fucking brilliant place. must go
skiing saturday.

 

*Two* sleeping bags?

Had that at an Alpine Rally back in the '70s. Such being the physics
of the thing, it made the tent warmer...

Usually because snow means a low-pressure area, and they are
warmer (that's why they're low-pressure...). There was a time in '80 when
Mawson was warmer than Canberra -- because we were in the middle of a
blizzard! (-2 C rather than the usual -25.)

Not really; it goes ---> *that* way at 105 knots! The one time we
had snow with no wind, so that it collected on the flat roofs, we soon found
out which buildings had leaky roofs!

One inside the other. Lovely and warm.
