t thing of "how cold can I cope with". I spend a small fortune on heating so that I can lounge around in a t-shirt and shorts all year round, because I like to. 
I'm from up north so anything above 10 is tropical and I'm in shorts/tshirts all year round anyway.t thing of "how cold can I cope with". I spend a small fortune on heating so that I can lounge around in a t-shirt and shorts all year round, because I like to. If temp goes above 20 I start to get uncomfortable, every summer I have a cooling fan running all the time I'm home... That's just in London and nowhere exotic.

Agreed, the more evolved among us lost our fur millenia ago. t thing of "how cold can I cope with". I spend a small fortune on heating so that I can lounge around in a t-shirt and shorts all year round, because I like to.

I'm also more tolerant of being a little too cold than a little too warm - what annoys me is when people comment on it. Walking round a car boot sale in autumn when it was a bit chilly, I'm in a T-shirt because I've just got out of the car and will be back there in ten minutes, but there's a stream of people I can hear muttering "I bet he's cold" just after I've passed their stall. Not to me, that is, just after I've left. No, of course I'm not cold, if I was cold I'd put a coat on. Oh, and those that comment when I do have a coat on, along the lines of "ooh, must be winter if you're wearing a coat". Just... stop.If temp goes above 20 I start to get uncomfortable, every summer I have a cooling fan running all the time I'm home... That's just in London and nowhere exotic.
Film/TV where an actor has to wear glasses that are obviously just glass and not lenses, when they drop them or lose them they act as if they are blind and can't see a thing.

On the other hand, Harry Palmer loses his glasses in The Ipcress File but can still see OK. 
I'm not too fussy. I just like the indoor temperature to be in the mid teens.
And I find it easier to put on a jumper than to mess with the heating. Plus it's really annoying when other people in the house have been putting the heating up while you're out and then over the Christmas period you run out of heating oil and can't get any delivered for several weeks. Until I know when I can get a delivery, I like to use it sparingly to make sure I don't run out.

Boxing, or more specifically, boxing on Sky Sports. Does it not occur to the broadcasters that not everyone is hanging on every word the two protagonists have to say, especially when they largely consist of:
I'm going to batter you
No I'm going to batter you
No you're scared
No I'm not you're scared
But I'm the best
No I'm the best
But your mum smells
Etc etc etc
Every time, for weeks on end, for every fight, repeated ad nauseum on Sky Sports News. And now let's go and hear what Tyson Fury's got to say - why, it's exactly the same rubbish he's been saying for weeks. And weeks, and weeks, and weeks.
fk off the lot of you, you boring, boring bds and do everyone a favour. And take that gurning tt Eddie Hearn with you too.
