I just discovered another reason why Russian housing is so much warmer than British housing. It is not just much thinner walls and insufficient heating in UK, but lack of snow. Turns out that even a little bit of snow makes a building noticeably warmer. I guess it insulates the roof. Although I suspect not many people need the warmth around here. It is still shocking for me to see how many people in UK are capable of living in January with open windows and very little or no heating. I branded them cave people jokingly, because they don’t need the comfort of heating or closed doors and windows, basically they can just as well live in a cave. I also noticed that a lot of them don’t need winter clothing and walk about in shorts and barefoot in flip-flops. Or alternatively they dress warm themselves, but deny that pleasure to their babies and drive their barefoot and naturally very snotty babies around in the prams in the freezing cold.

Observation:

I think it takes one at least two years to get used to the traditional English method of washing one’s hands: boil, freeze, boil, freeze, boil, freeze…

LOL. Leonardo Da Vinci thought that sperm comes from brain!

Humour.

An avid duck hunter was in the market for a new bird dog. His search ended when he found a dog that could actually walk on water to retrieve a duck. Shocked by his find, he was sure none of his friends would ever believe him.

He decided to try to break the news to a friend of his, the eternal pessimist who refused to be impressed with anything. This, surely, would impress him. He invited him to hunt with him and his new dog.

As they waited by the shore, a flock of ducks flew by. They fired, and a duck fell. The dog responded and jumped into the water. The dog, however, did not sink but instead walked across the water to retrieve the bird, never getting more than his paws wet.

This continued all day long; each time a duck fell, the dog walked across the surface of the water to retrieve it.

The pessimist watched carefully, saw everything, but did not say a single word.
On the drive home the hunter asked his friend, "Did you notice anything unusual about my new dog?"

"I sure did," responded the pessimist. "He can't swim."
