    This current mrs stek's city is like that, Chelyabinsk, I think we were out in -32C one evening and to me it felt invigorating, cold yeah but not damp. Loved it, miss it.

    Cheek muscles froze like dentists injection and no talking, vocal chords freeze and you end up grunting to talk! Loads of pissed up blokes about on 2ltr bottles of 9% beer but not a scrap of bother, not to say there wasn't any, missus stek's bro was mugged same area earlier.

    Seem to remember the go to school/dont go to school announcements were on local radio?

    Go back to 'kvartira', fecking boiling! -35C and i had to have the windows open....

        I was going to watch Zulu on blu ray at the exact same time it's shown on terrestrial TV (always is at this time of year ), but it started at 10am today.

        Any proper Zulu fan knows it ripens at noon.

            It's ****ing cold in England too - almost like in Stalingrad during siege, of course it would be even colder in Siberia!

              Do you change them often?
              How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think
