...or just don't leave home?


Even better  ;D

Do you have insulated overalls?  I have worked outside many, many years and won't leave the house for work in winter without them, and always, always wear a hat.  You won't believe how toasty -10 can be

I wear a heavy coat and a heavy sweater with a T-Shirt and a button down shirt and I sweat a lot out there during the winter. :P

Sweating isn't good.  Then when you stop moving the sweat ends up chilling you.  Wear a white cotton t-shirt against your skin, then a thermal shirt the wicks the moisture away from your body, and then a wool sweater.  Wet wool will still keep you warm, man made fibers won't  ;)

What about gloves during the winter?

Can't go without those.

As well as a coat and a scarf...I always wear those things when the weather gets chilly and I have to be outside.

That goes without saying.  You wear a scarf, Jeff?

I have not worn a scarf for a long time now.

They pretty much keep you warm.

Only when it's very chilly outside. I need to keep my neck warm.

The same as to wear a hat, it and a scarf do help to retain the bodily heat.

I was asking...a man with a scarf on his head like women wear?

In this case, the scarf is worn around the neck.

Right. O0 I've always thought to wear a scarf around the neck.

That's what I think of when I hear the word "muffler" too, lol! ;D

It depends on how you use it here!  :)

Jeff...thanks for the karma....right back atcha!

Wouldn't that be called a parka?

Yeah,I think you're right Phil.

A parka is a coat with a hood.

I hate sinus headaches.(I don't think anyone would like them)

Sorta like what Kenny on South Park wears...and I think it's real tight on his head...hence the reason for his muffled speech.

Of course not. It's a highly unpleasant sensation. Anytime I have one, I often feel like doing nothing; it just knocks me out.

I take it you had one today? ???

Well, you can expect me to reveal all  ::)  ... well my insights / knowledge ?


It's obviously aimed at Hitler.  For some people, Nazism / that era is synonymous with the German race as a whole . In other words .... the entire German race were bad guys. Germany lost, the Allies (USA, UK etc; ... won !)

The Germans might argue (not totally without justification ? )  :-[ that the UK had achieved very little since 'winning' the war .... so .... they LOVE to harp on about this ! When I say little .... well, we beat Germany in the 1966 World Cup .... but .... not a great deal to crow about after that .....  :-[

The German economy boomed .... England was in the doldrums for many years ....


So .... that episode ... probably  was embarrassing in the sense that the UK still seemed to be harping on about 'winning the war' ... (albeit with a 'slight' assist from the good ol' US of A  ;) ). Cleese says "Well ....... YOU started it"  (referring to the war). He probably represents the English man who wants to reflect on 'old glories' ?  :-\\

Interestingly,  :-\\  even as late as 1996 ....... a lot of the UK tabloids .... were still depicting their clash in the Euro 96 soccer competition as a clash of the old enemy ..... with the likes of local soccer heroes ... Stuart Pearce .... and Paul Gascoine (tell me if I'm wrong, Phil) ... depicted on the newspaper's front page .... wearing helmets of soldiers who might've appeared in the trenches of World War 1 !

I found the picture comical /amusing .... but other's might not have ?  For the record, Germany had the last laugh, beating England in that encounter !

  ;D

While screaching for a good reply I found this:

"Andrew Sachs was paid £700 in compensation after being burned on the shoulders during the filming of the scene in The Germans in which there is a fire in the hotel's kitchen. Apparently he still has the scars."

£700 ... that sounds cheap by today's 'standards' !







Still, it's alright ?  After all , he is from Barcelona ?
