    I'm assuming the no hot shower implies being able to take cold showers, and considering I take cold showers as a rule, then how much can I get for 10 years without a hot shower?

    I had an incident taking a cold shower once.

    My heart started acting funny. I could hear the beats in my head and my eyesight started to fail. I got out and lay down on the floor until it passed.

    Have never taken one since.

    From the travel book,
    THE WORST JOURNEY
    IN THE WORLD
    Polar exploration is at once the cleanest and most isolated way of having a bad time which has been devised. It is the only form of adventure in which you put on your clothes at Michaelmas and keep them on until Christmas, and, save for a layer of the natural grease of the body, find them as clean as though they were new. It is more lonely than London, more secluded than any monastery, and the post comes but once a year.

    Starts slowly , but perfect reading for when you are snuggled up in a warm bed with the wind and rain outside.

    I'd have to take the cold showers, I couldn't live without the tea.

    I love tea so much I could marry it.

    Hi. My name is Tea and I taste like tea.

    I don't see how this is in any way a challenge. I'd give up both for a year just for enough money to buy a house and live mortgage free for the rest of my life.

    Hot food no problem. I don’t like piping hot food and prefer to eat it tepid anyway.

    Cold showers are hell. :(

    For a couple of million I could take cold dips after saunas.
