    They're mini furnaces on bad days and blazing infernos on the good.

    As long as you keep stoking 'em.

    WTF is with women and having to have thing's so hot all the time.

    They have to drink 30 litres of water a day like the gloss mags say or they'll be unhealthy.

    All that cold water means you have to have the heat on full blast all day :P

    Used to be in offices like this but only to fix things. In the IT room we had all the windows open even in winter because computers generate heat and combined with the heaters that the sales team insisted be on full blast all day long, we had to open the windows to keep the temperature bearable.

    Worst thing was the BO in their office which all of them seemed oblivious to. When anyone did walk into the IT room, the first thing they'd say was how cool and nice it was in there. Yet if the heating was turned down in their room, they'd be the first people to complain about it :confused:

    I used to wear a t-shirt in winter until I was in my mid twenties but now I wear a hoody over my t-shirt and this winter I've started wearing a thermal t-shirt under my usual t-shirt. When you're young you tend not to mind the cold as much. Men don't feel the cold as much as women either (according to Q.I. anyway).

    What I find more puzzling than wearing a t-shirt in winter is those idiots that go around wearing a hoody in summer and pull the hood up over their heads . It makes me wonder do these people not have sweat glands.

    It depends on what you are used to. When I first moved to Ireland (from NE Scotland) I found the winter really mild, and sometimes did the T-shirt thing. Nine winters later, after becoming acclimatised to Irish winters, I am spending my first winter in Poland. The first snowfall of the winter was in mid-October, which is something I'd not seen since I was a child.

    For the last week the temperature has been between -15 and -24. :eek:
    NO chance of me wearing a T-shirt in that - FFS, I can feel the inside my nose freezing after about -20! :eek:

    The only thing I'm wearing at the moment is a T-Shirt and it's below zero outside.

    Yes, I'm a freak.

    A/S/L?

    I too am one of those t-shirt in winter people, though from the middle of last week I added another layer. I may be weird but I'm no fool.

    I hate having too many layers on me, so Its jeans & tshirt all year round if possible.
    It freaks the women in work out no end. To get to our canteen you have to cross the yard, a short little walk, no more than 30 seconds. The women all head out with jumpers, bodywarmers, jackets, scarves and hats, even umberellas if its raining, and get freaked out when I stroll across with just a t-shirt on top (fully dressed below though, come on).

    I'd rather be too cold than too warm; warming up when you get back indoors is easy, cooling down when you're too warm not so easy.

    wearing a t-shirt right now :D

    was in poland last week with minus 10 so the 0c this morning is nice and cool :D

    It's the arty farty types you see in a t-shirt and a scarf that annoy me.

    what do you think the story is with people like that ..they doesn't feel the cold for some reason ..some sort of endurance test...they lost there coat and all there winter clothes in a freak accident and cant afford new ones due to the recession.. some sort of mental illness..

    Some simply do not enjoy the heat, they are fine in the cold conditions. It's not rocket science.

    The alcohol keeps you warm inside.

    This is a lie, if anything alcohol will cause you to lose heat faster, you will slip into a deep state of hypothermia a lot faster if you are drinking alcohol. St. Bernards don't carry whiskey or brandy in their little barrels, like some believe :rolleyes:, it's normally milk or water...

    I was at the Prodigy gig in the O2 on Friday and there was a guy outside the gig wearing just a t-shirt and shorts, before the gig had even started.

    I think he was feeling the cold though because he was almost crying to his friends saying, "Can someone please look at the tickets to see what entrance we have to go in through!!!"

    Think they were walking back and forth endlessly trying to find the entrance and obviously it didn't seem to be bothering his mates as much. :D

    name one?
    Mr. T?

    The use of capital letters on the other hand is exemplary.

    I do this, its not that I don't feel the cold it's just it doesn't bother me too much hence combat shorts and t-shirts in the winter...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 57,375 ✭✭✭✭walshb


    I'm fairly impervious to the cold; I always threw snowballs with the bare hands.;)
    Mates could never understand it.

    I used to be like this and then I lived in a house where the heating was on all the time and now I'm not like this anymore :(

    I usually wear jeans and t-shirt though.

    I have a friend who runs around wearing summer clothes in winter- then I found out he wears like five pairs of socks at once....weirdo.

    That would be true if we actually had decent Summers.

    Being cold burns calories. Lazy man's exercise.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 128 ✭✭Flash86


    Happened to me on Saturday. Parked in the Jervis Centre with the intention of never going outside but then had to go right down to the HMV on Henry street to get a DVD for my brother. I nearly died from the cold.
