    I went for a swim in the sea on New Years once. Chinese New Year when I worked in Singapore. :laugh:

      Last winter we went down to the Balaton and the whole lake was frozen over; deep enough to skate on. Some numpties had indeed broken the ice so that they could swim in the lake. I declined the offer to partake.

      I saw the "walruses" jumping in to the River Neva through a hole in the very thick ice when I visited Leningrad in November 1986.

        I used to have a tradition in the first house I bought - When the first snow fell, I used make a large snowball, and throw it at the house. Mostly to see if it would fall down...

        When I was a kid I loved the first snow of the year. I'd run to the door and shout at my parents "Come on! You know the deal! Let me in!"

            I would do that if I was in Portugal.

            One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

              Only problem is that the water can still be freaking cold. Well, when I was there visiting family for Thanksgiving the pool water was very cold in the morning. Had to keep swimming to generate enough heat. Once you did that it was nice.
