    i wear t-shirts and shorts in the cold, i get sweaty in jackets, you adapt to the cold after like 10 minutes and it doesnt bother you

    Or you might start to suffer from hypothermia.

    I'm one of those people, never feel the cold, can't explain why....my hands are always freezing though, at one point in the last few years I lost about half a stone which put me into the underweight category and I have to say I was freezing all the time but now that i'm at my normal weight I'm never really cold

    I have a mate who grew up in northern Finland. When I told him it was snowing out, he laughed. Snow to him is about 10 foot deep in -30c temperature. Anything less than that is just mild weather.

    So, the guy you seen was probably from some sub-arctic location.

    My Mum used to say that to me when I was younger, "Don't just wear a t-shirt out, people will think you're stupid." To which my reply was always "Why would anyone care what I'm wearing?".

    Clearly I was wrong...

    I remember hearing a radio programme about winter in Siberia where kids used to eat ice cream outdoors when it was minus 55 degrees just to demonstrate how "hard" they were.

    I will usually be seen in shorts and t-shirt in any weather, I do feel the cold, but moreso when I am fully clothed than when in Shorts and T-shirt.

    I don't think anybody cares much, it's just curiosity.

    Come the end of the world through global warming or global cooling we'll find out who was right and who was wrong.

    I do this. When I walk from my office to the shop at lunch im always being stared at from people in 8 jackets and scarves, gloves, etc. I just dont feel the cold. Im not a fat bastard, but once it passes 10 degrees I sweat buckets, cant stand the heat at all.

    I spent all day in a tshirt today, no bother. I generally only wear tshirts whenever i'm moving. I only use a jacket if i'm standing there still for a long time.

    Having said that, i'm the kind of person who goes swimming on Christmas day for the craic, most of my hobbies involve being outdoor and i scuba dive in Ireland... so maybe it's just that my body is used to the cold? Who knows

    -Edit- I'm not a fattie either, think i'm like 21.2% body fat which is perfectly normal for someone my age

    Saw a young lad (17 approx) yesterday going to school with no coat, jumper wrapped around his neck and shirt wide open to the -3 temp.

    Thought it was strange to say the least.
    especially strange as someone going to school yesterday, saturday

    The only thing I'm wearing at the moment is a T-Shirt and it's below zero outside.

    Yes, I'm a freak.

    I wear a tshirt and a light thin jacket opened up and no hat or scarf, I cant wear a coat, I'd overheat. I dont mind the cold, hate the warm weather unless your playin sport and its ok to sweat.

    Ive worn tshirts in this weather but it makes you look a bit weird, need a 2nd layer, I can fit my jacket in my jeans pocket

    They're mini furnaces on bad days and blazing infernos on the good.

    As long as you keep stoking 'em.

    They have to drink 30 litres of water a day like the gloss mags say or they'll be unhealthy.

    All that cold water means you have to have the heat on full blast all day :P

    Used to be in offices like this but only to fix things. In the IT room we had all the windows open even in winter because computers generate heat and combined with the heaters that the sales team insisted be on full blast all day long, we had to open the windows to keep the temperature bearable.

    Worst thing was the BO in their office which all of them seemed oblivious to. When anyone did walk into the IT room, the first thing they'd say was how cool and nice it was in there. Yet if the heating was turned down in their room, they'd be the first people to complain about it :confused:

    I used to wear a t-shirt in winter until I was in my mid twenties but now I wear a hoody over my t-shirt and this winter I've started wearing a thermal t-shirt under my usual t-shirt. When you're young you tend not to mind the cold as much. Men don't feel the cold as much as women either (according to Q.I. anyway).

    What I find more puzzling than wearing a t-shirt in winter is those idiots that go around wearing a hoody in summer and pull the hood up over their heads . It makes me wonder do these people not have sweat glands.

    It depends on what you are used to. When I first moved to Ireland (from NE Scotland) I found the winter really mild, and sometimes did the T-shirt thing. Nine winters later, after becoming acclimatised to Irish winters, I am spending my first winter in Poland. The first snowfall of the winter was in mid-October, which is something I'd not seen since I was a child.

    For the last week the temperature has been between -15 and -24. :eek:
    NO chance of me wearing a T-shirt in that - FFS, I can feel the inside my nose freezing after about -20! :eek:

    I too am one of those t-shirt in winter people, though from the middle of last week I added another layer. I may be weird but I'm no fool.

    I hate having too many layers on me, so Its jeans & tshirt all year round if possible.
    It freaks the women in work out no end. To get to our canteen you have to cross the yard, a short little walk, no more than 30 seconds. The women all head out with jumpers, bodywarmers, jackets, scarves and hats, even umberellas if its raining, and get freaked out when I stroll across with just a t-shirt on top (fully dressed below though, come on).

    I'd rather be too cold than too warm; warming up when you get back indoors is easy, cooling down when you're too warm not so easy.

    It's the arty farty types you see in a t-shirt and a scarf that annoy me.

    what do you think the story is with people like that ..they doesn't feel the cold for some reason ..some sort of endurance test...they lost there coat and all there winter clothes in a freak accident and cant afford new ones due to the recession.. some sort of mental illness..

    Some simply do not enjoy the heat, they are fine in the cold conditions. It's not rocket science.

    The alcohol keeps you warm inside.

    This is a lie, if anything alcohol will cause you to lose heat faster, you will slip into a deep state of hypothermia a lot faster if you are drinking alcohol. St. Bernards don't carry whiskey or brandy in their little barrels, like some believe :rolleyes:, it's normally milk or water...
