She's going to Umea

[Philhod]

OH shit!!!!!! It was - 23 there last night but it's warming up for a couple of days snow so it should be no worse than -8 during the day dropping to around -12 at night.
Pretty way up north that be and east coast too Brrrrrr!

[Bx Bandit]

Oh blimey - she feels the cold as well. I shall forewarn her and make her a bearskin coat!!!!

[Philhod]

Shame on you Bandit, making her go out in the cold in her bare skin.

It's best to have layers on. Thermal socks with a good pair of boots quick release if poss.
A pair of jeans is fine provided you have thermal longjohns on underneath (tights don't cut it)
T shirt, fleece and a good jacket, down filled is best. Finally a wooly hat is a must as are insulated gloves of some sort.
You must take your boots off when entering anyones house and you will want to take a layer or so off while you are there. If she has that lot, even if she feels the cold, she should be ok down to -30

Just a thought. She needs to make sure she has, or gets, some waterless face cream.
Most skin creams contain quite a bit of water, which is not recommended at those temps

Good tips my beauty queen! I shall pass on your advice dude, much appreciated. I think she's gonna get lent some gear, but it's only for 5 days so she doesn't need to buy stuff, just go equipped, hence your advice greatly appreciated!

[Philhod]

No probs pal. I have very dry skin and found that last bit out the hard way.
I came in with a frozen face and Rachael gives it the sharp intake of breath.


OOOOO! You don't wanna use that!! you wanna use this...sort of thing. Must say it would never have occurred to me, but once you get -12 and below temperatures all the time, it doesen't 1/2 make a difference.

She'll be on a diet of Knäckebröd, potatis, Sill and Korve. That's crispbread, spuds, herring and sausage which I happen to like but not everyone does! There is a type of mustard, nothing like ours, that's worth a try with Korve. It's called Senap and you can buy it at IKEA

[Bx Bandit]

I rekon she'll eat all that lot, although she's not a mustardy type of gal. i am though, so if we find ourselves in the IKEA wunderland I'll look out for Senap

[Philhod]

If you use the hot dog cafe at IKEA, you can try before you buy. Senap is in the yellow taps next to the red ketchup ones.

[Bx Bandit]

Oh I get you, yeah I've had me dog smothered in that stuff!

[Philhod]

Good innit!

[Bx Bandit]

It sure is. Big fan of Colemans Eng Mustard though, nice and hot, good with ham. Massive fan of Horse Raddish too, fucking lovely stuff

[Philhod]

Remind me (and Doc) to keep well clear of your aresole. No wonder you use a butt plug

[Bx Bandit]

It's rancid at the moment............too much Bishops Finger (so to speak). Loving my ale at the moment

[Philhod]

.too much Bishops Finger

Fucking Catholic priests.

[docchevron132]

thats the trouble Phil, they shouldn't be fucking, but they all do, dirty little bastards!

[Philhod]

All because that interpreter was dyslexic and wrote Celebate instead of celebrate

[docchevron132]

Catholasism, one womans lie about an affair that got seriousley out of hand.

[Bx Bandit]

immaculate conception my arse.

[Philhod]

Bandit!! Your bringing your arse into it again.................. and like you said it's hardly immaculate

Or have I misunderstood and you want us to do your arse with immac

[Philhod]
