About Vitamin D?

Ive just popped out the back and soon as the door is open it hits you and you stand there and within seconds feels like it’s sucking the heat out of your skin and your whole body is just draining of all warmth. Literally a minute outside and fucking frozen. Poor bastards homeless in this. 
 

im going to take some McDonald’s food and teas and coffees tomorrow night to one of the known homeless hangouts on way into Edinburgh. Poor buggers. Wont make much of a difference but what more can you do 

Drop a little bag of Charlie, that’ll get the blood flowing and they’ll have a cracking time everyone’s a winner

@Sweep insists on sending me a flask of vitamin d every week. 
The flask is belting when it arrives it’s still warm

My dogs go mad when I come downstairs in the morning because they know they’re going out. I opened the back door and they both stopped dead in their tracks as if to say fuck that we’ll give it a miss today

I wouldn’t waste it on them. Also I’m in self enforced abstinence currently so they can fuck off as well McDonald’s will need to it 

 

and I was out at 7am this morning for a walk and it was colder than I’ve ever experienced tbh. 
 How these boys living in proper cold places go on Ive no idea. Guess you adapt like anything.

After 3 days of below zero temps, the emergency homeless protocol kicks in and the government gives money to open more shelters - community centres etc - and for more food.

It actually felt like my breath was being snatched away from me, last time I experienced that it was Belgrade.

A beagle and a collie

Like Scotland? Two days of cold and now is all melted. Back to normal winter. If that's our cold snap, fair enough.

Didn’t know that must be the vitamin d supplement that’s feeding my good vibes mojo. 😂

They wouldn't be allowed to do it.

To many restrictions on what the bad lads army can be used for.

Only filters out B and C. Let's A through.

Reduces vitamin D production, but can still have some effects on the skin, so he might be part way there.

On the vitamin D, BD's link may oversimplify things. Heard a woman on the wireless talking about the importance of being outside in the winter; something which apparently is more readily undertaken in Scandinavian countries. 

Still important for Vitamin D and mood, even if production is reduced during lower light intensity.

Not sure I fancy this cold water swimming or topless jogging though. Fuck that.

Mard you lot - my (outdoor) thermometer says it's 3c out.

I've only got one radiator turned up at home.

I gave myself a number zero yesterday aft and then went jogging hatless and in shorts and thin zip-up thing.

Nails.

You lot have been shacked up with girls and wimmin and their thermostat-happy hands too long - gayers 😀.

My last gas bill was hand delivered by Roman Abramovich and was written in gold leaf on the mummified skin of Princess Diana's back.

He helicoptered in and left behind those TaTu birds as a sweetener.

The rads in my house are off between 9am and 5pm regardless.

My heating goes off at 830pm and back on at 8am in the winter. Missus moans but I’m not fussed. We pay less for our gas and electricity in a quarter than her mum and dad pay in a month. 
 

radiator in the hall is off permanently. Pointless it being on

In my experience shagging decreases exponentially with the passing of co-habiting time.

Familiarity breeds contempt.

Don't get me wrong, I ain't getting any but that's nowt to do with living alone.

Those TaTu girls will be ropey as fuck after fifteen years in some gulag east of Mogadon...

That's crackpot thinking - "hmm, which eight hours should the heating be off? Definitely not the eight most folk are underneath 20tog duvets that's for sure..."

My on-off (mostly off atm) girl (handful but in perfect proportion) has the heating on full whack at night with the fucking window open.

I put up with it because...oh aye, because we don't live together.

I do put my foot down regarding the burglar alarm though - that remains off at night

Putting the alarm on (at night) is tantamount to chemical castration. It's more or less saying "my other half is soft as fuck" and allowing it (alarm on) is saying "yes, I am".

It's usually the primary one innit, where the thermostat is an' all?

I've seen loads of hall radiators knobless to prevent opening/shutting...

I do know I borrowed a knob off another radiator to turn off the knobless hall one in one house and the boiler packed up about two days later...

Never have the radiator on in the night otherwise I wake up dryer than a nuns gooch and the sprog wakes up looking like she’s been in a mosh pit

The chickens get a radiator otherwise they don’t lay
