I've never worked out why people don't like being cold. All that happens is you shiver (which is simply muscle movement, just like running or cycling),

I don't like doing either of those, I just don't see the point usually.

So you're a lazy bugger?

No I just believe in energy conservation.

Then you must have your central heating switched off. The least energy usage would be sat at home with no heating wearing a thick jacket.

and you get numb fingers and toes (which isn't that sore and only temporary).

But what's the advantage of having such an experience, do you head butt walls so you can feel pain ?

It's not an advantage or a disadvantage, I just don't care if my fingers are numb.

Handy I guess when you're a ******. But not so good when you actiually have something useful to do.

Do your fingers not operate in the cold or something? Are you a girl?
