Like Giles, I also just bought a cashmere beanie.  Of course it doesn't get as cold here as it does in the UK.  I think the high today was 80 F (27 C).

@Geo:

now that I've stopped pissing my pants at the face . . . are those Dita Statesman glasses?

Yes they are, i have the smoke/gray ones, loved them so much i bought the gold/tortoise ones.  Acetate and gold plated titanium, made in Japan, yum.

@Giles:

Just ordered 3 cashmere beanies off the Bay.  Could not decide which colour to go for, the spares'll make good xmas presents…..

But as it is forecast to be -9C (16F) when we land in Berlin on Fri, I thought I better get prepped.

Damn:

Like, Glühwein, Beats?.. I once drank a bottle of that stuff without heating it… AFTER I already had lotsa beer and stuff... The next day it was as if I had eaten a marinated christmas tree...

Talk about x-mas… 

COME ON RING THE DOOR ALREADY!.. 

[Guest]

Thanks G
Sorry Beats

[Beatle]

no probs…yeah, you shouldn´t drink that stuff cold - and even hot it´s quite likely to give you a massive hangover...

[Beatle]

Oh - btw - maybe Daniel knows a good place to have Feuerzangenbowle…that stuff is sooo much better than the regular mulled wine...more alcohol

[loghill]

What's that stuff?

I have only bought regular glühwein from the kiosks they have all over Berlin at christmas time (I've spent few last christmases there).

[Max Power]

It uses Rum, that is ignited on a sugar cube… Tasty, but brutal.

Christmas - 21 bouncing…

From the UPS UK site:

Severe Weather Causing Possible Delays in parts of the UK
Severe local weather conditions may cause collection and delivery delays in some parts of the UK, in particular Scotland and the northeast of England.

Luckily I am not in the North, but nonetheless…....

[Beatle]

Yap, winter is starting out pretty rough

[Giles]

Will and Aero have effectively been cut off for 2 days now…....Fucking global warming....

[Beatle]

yap, I can't take all that heat anymore

[Seul]

Steaming hot summers and raging cold winters… There's really no advantage to it is there!.. 

Anyway... Hope by the time I do my next order, Giles, all the snow will have melted again
