"It's like bloody Hoth out there..."
A more appropriate description of Wakefield in winter you will not find. The above comment, typical of many a smoker, always makes me smile when they go outside in nothing more than a shirt and suit and still complain that the weather is cold.

Hasn't anyone ever heard of a magical invention known as a coat?

Yeah either or
I get them mixed up. I find my reverence to Hicks slowly dissipitating as I get older.

He was not actually very funny.
Clever and insightful and well worth listening to, but no laughs.

If by cool you mean "rendered to a shivering mess"
Then you'd be right.

I don't expect you to understand
cool is a mystery to those without it ;-)

I don't smoke (cigarettes) but I still think it makes you cool

Hoth
Star Wars fact fans may be interested to know that Hoth scenes were filmed in Norway, at one point a blizzard snowed the cast and crew into their hotels, so one scene was filmed shooting out of the hotel doors into the street.

This reminds me of my mate from Newcastle. Always insists on going out without a coat on regardless the weather outside and insists that it's not that bad whilst shivering and turning blue. If it's cold, put on a bloody coat. Don't refuse to wear one cause it makes you look hard or something, that's just plain stupid.
