Looking for people who wear 13 coats when it snows.

Some bloke driving a wagon years ago had the record, if I remember correctly...

These fetishes are getting weirder.

Spent a winter in the Czech Republic. From the start of December til the end of February, it was never more than 0. At one point it was -20 for an entire week.

For about a month, I went to work with boxers, two pairs of socks, pyjama bottoms, football shorts, thermal vest, thick jumper, scarf wrapped round my neck twice with it pulled up over my mouth, big winter coat (a North Face one I think), one of those hunting caps with ear flaps and gloves.

I'm probably forgetting some of it.

In the cold spell of 2010 I lived in a f*ckass shed of a student apartment. So:

Boxers.
Socks rolled up to knee.
Sweatpants.
2nd pair of socks and sweatpants tucked in.
2nd pair of sweatpants.
Tshirt tucked in (air tightness was important)
Cap
2 hoodies.
Gloves.
Scarf.
Cacaooned in a duvet while sitting at my desk.

I was toasty except my exposed nose which got frost bite and fell off.

Doing a budget weekend away using Ryanair is a recipe for the most clothes I've ever worn.

5 days worth of clothes when Ryanair alleged that my carry on suitcase was over packed.

I was hiking around Patagonia a few years back and the weather conditions there mean it's wise to wear multiple layers of clothes. Even though it was early summer we had snow squalls when hiking in Torres Del Paine. It's quite different to say Everest Base Camp where you wear thicker layers.

The most however was definitely when I visited Antarctica. We left Ushuaia by boat in relatively benign conditions. I was wearing about 8 heavy layers by the time we actually got to walk on the white continent.

Last night, in my apartment which currently doesn't have any heating, I wore

- a vest
- then a jumper over that
- then a second, baggy jumper over THAT
- then a loose woolly cardigan over that
- then my big thick dressing gown over that
- and a woolly scarf

With pyjama bottoms and socks, of course. Although I only had one pair of pyjama bottoms, so I felt kind of... uneven.

I will probably wear the same tonight. It's not that I'm desperately freezing or anything, I just find it toasty and comforting as f*ck. It's feels like you're pretty much wearing your duvet, when you've that many layers. It's nice.

I was in Northern Canada years ago. One night this guy got on the bus wearing only a t-shirt and shorts:eek: - what's strange about that you may ask? - I was wearing two winter coats, two jumpers, a t-shirt, and a thermal vest, gloves, and two pair of socks because there was heavy snow accompanied by strong winds, which it made feel far colder than the - 5 c it was. Even with all that clothing i still felt very cold in the night air.

Wanderly Wagon is an Irish children's television series which aired on RTÉ from Saturday 30 September 1967[1] until 1982. Wanderly Wagon followed human and puppet characters as they travelled around Ireland visiting interesting locations, rescuing Princesses and generally doing good. The original premise of the show expanded to follow the characters to magical lands of Irish mythology, and into outer space.

Characters[edit]
Rory - originally the lead character. Played by stage actor Bill Golding. Golding left the series in its middle years.
O'Brien - a bumbler played by Eugene Lambert, who was also the puppeteer and ventriloquist for some of the animal characters. Other voices were provided by puppeteer members of the Lambert family.
Godmother - a sensible mother-figure played by Nora O'Mahoney.
Judge - a dog. He was the voice of reason and good sense, a moral conscience to the rest of them (he also starred in television road safety advertisements). To this day, Judge is held in great affection by people who remember him - many of whom can still sing his song, "I Am the Flying Dog"
Fortycoats - a gruff, bearded character in a costume made of ragged swatches of many different materials. An occasional character who later had an eponymous spin-off show. Originally played by Bill Golding and later by Fran Dempsey.
