No me neither. Does my head in hearing people banging on about nonsense....."you can achieve anything. Nothing is impossible...." errrrm actually lots of things are.
20 years in the fire service taught me alot about human behaviour. 10% will like you, 10% won't like you and 80% couldn't care less. I'm thick skinned and understand opinions are like bottoms everybody has got one. When you watch them you may get a nugget or two. I like cleaning, especially when a window sill is filthy, so I get into it with the pink stuff and scrubber. Final rinse and it comes out great and i get a sense of pride that i have achieved it. Didn't realise this was one of the things they mentioned to go that little bit extra for a customer and you end up getting more work from it. Simple but it works everytime. ?
Been cold dipping for a few years now, wimped out last winter to be honest going in the lake and river, but we bought a whisky barrel this year which we have filled with water, water is 10c at the moment so fairly easy to do but have been in 5c water in a previous winter but will do every day from now until it gets to warm in the spring for me I sack it off once it gets above 14c
Never mind, I’m sure it won’t be long until they fit showers up north ?
I just wait for heavy rain and go out in the garden with my shower gel, had the odd funny look of the neighbours
For me, it simply boosts my mental health I feel very positive after a dip and that will last all day for me and into another day basically a natural high, I have been smashing my work out lately whereas in previous weeks I'd lost my mojo

I don't do his full breathing technique/meditation mate as I am not bothered about going off into that mental state of mind that comes with that full thing my wife has done the full meditative breathing in the past where it's a 10-minute thing just sitting in the house she ends up spaced out
Surely a cold shower is easier than a barrel of cold water?
.
Too much shock of the cold water standing under the shower, I don't do it for the easy mate also going into a meditative state that being submerged in the water for those 2-3 minutes I don't think that would happen for me in a cold shower,Surely a cold shower is easier than a barrel of cold water?
I had a cold shower last week and couldn't believe how easy it was, I don't know if it did any good but having a cold shower in a warm bathroom I reckon would be miles easier than jumping into a barrel of cold water outside, no way would I want to be doing that, I'd probably get cramp and die because I couldn't get out
You're nuts sitting in a barrel, as long as yer happy ?
? no chance
even if I wanted to the barrel would be alongside a busy public access path with dog walkers walking past someone sat in a barrel in their trunks ? I'd be talk of the town that's my excuse. 'Morning, have a lovely day!...' ?
You don't want Ethel and little willy walking by? no chance
Seriously though, the cold shower isn't that bad, it doesn't stay long enough on your skin to get you properly cold, it is a shock but the moment you move your skin is exposed to warm air. With the barrel only my little blue head would be exposed, couldn't do it, no way ? although the thought of sitting there seeing the dog walkers reaction would be amusing
I thought she was dead? Would rather watch a box of soap powder than soaps. ?
