I'm with the yudenator on this one. Iceland is cold, Siberia is cold, the UK is temperate.

It's not "in your face cold" in June is it?

[Vivienne]

I ain't in the mood for an argument... it is cold. End of.

[MK Chris]

Indeed and we're extremely lucky; yeah we moan about the rain, but I'd rather that than live in the arctic, or in a tropical country that fairly regularly gets hit by a hurricane.

Having said that, I'd love to go to Canada in the winter, just once. Got family there and been twice before in summer time, but I'd like to see the Rockies in winter - apparently they have it -20 in winter.

[DemonHorse]

We have the unhappy medium climate and weather-wise.

[Vivienne]

I'd like to go to New York in winter, or perhaps on a cold in-your-face June even.

[Yudster]

I went to New York in December 1999. It was the most brilliant wonderful place and I loved it. You should go Viv, just go. I went on the spur of the moment, if I'd sat and thought about it I would never have gone. It was a good decision. The day I went to see the Statue of Liberty it was brilliantly cold and sunny, really freezing and I didn't have a hat, so I bought one from a shop in the World Trade Centre. Having lost 25 work colleagues from there a few years later, that hat is quite important to me now! Stupid, but there you go. Anyway, go to New York, and go when its cold.

Apologies to Gaspode, but its been a while since we had a full-on story.....

I went to New York once, I got on a pedalow at the beach at Bude, and this big wave washed me out to sea, there was a passing manure ship which had a dangly anchor, and it caught on my boat and dragged me to New York where I spent a lovely two days at the Seamans resuce mission, as I had failed to pack any nail clippers I got a pair from Lou the retired Crab fisherman from Colerado, when I returned home I found out that Lou's nails had become ingrown and went septic, shortly after an operation to remove two toes, he was walking up forth avenue, when he tripped and fell in the way of a passing snow plough, which was being used to plough snow, luckily the snow protected Lou from the truck but he did end up face down in 14ft of snow with just the stumps from his feet sticking out. When the snow thawed in April all that was left of Lou was his pet cat Alice who survived by eating Lou's flesh.

Buggered if I know where the nail clippers are though !

* this in no way is meant to detract from the obvious tragedy that was 9/11, and I like all of us feel great remorce and grief for those people involved in this terrible episode*

[Yudster]

I love you SO MUCH boboff.

[Ballbag]

Boboff, for an Antony Worrall-Thompson look-a-like, you seem to be turning into a right little chick-magnet.

[Boboff]

Women are so funny ! It's lovely isn't it, in the flesh I wouldn't stand a chance ! And I am not sure about the AWT reference, I am sure there was another part to that analogy, like Gordon Ramsey, or a fat Kiether Sutherland ( that has been said before )

[Ballbag]

(Bob don't ruin the illusion, just remember we're beef cakes with big dongs and full heads of hair)


The AWT ref was because you once described yourself on here as short, fat with a ginger beard.

[Yudster]

Stop it Baggie, I'm trying to concentrate here..........

[Boboff]

Ah, well I am 6ft1" still fat, and I have shaved off the beard, and Mrs Boboff didn't like it, and the Chairman remarked that at my forthcoming appraisal one of the possitives would have been "best impression of Henry VIII !" So it was removed !

[Yudster]

I think I'm going to faint.......

[Boboff]

or be sick !

[pinkysibbs]

Boboff you are amazing!

[Yudster]

Isn't he......?

[Boboff]

! not ?

[pinkysibbs]

One in a million!
