serena123: People in cold countries complain People in Hot countries complain What weather do you prefer??
Live in a cold country and visit warmer places? Or visa versa?
Women in colder climates do seem to have beautiful peaches and cream complexions tho.. Just an observation :)
Heat melts the brain and the body. Those in colder climates are found to be taller, more intelligent, more sociable, more law-abiding, and have a stronger aversion to fast-breeding than those in warmer climates.
'It has become increasingly evident that human populations have different behavioral propensities and intelligence levels. Those who have adapted to the harsh northern climate worldwide are taller, more intelligent, more pro-social, less crime prone, and exhibit less fertility. This is said to be due to the more cognitively demanding long winter season (Lynn, 2006 and Lynn, 2008). In a similar and more speculative vein, the differential r/K theory (Rushton, 1988 and Rushton, 1994) predicts that a more demanding cold climate has induced more intelligent and pro-social personality in general.'

Would think there would be MORE breeding in colder climates.. Bed weather!
The climate in the island suits me down to the ground. I would say,mild cold during winter,as rarely snows. Even a bit of snow,once every 10 years,it is a big joy for the kids.
Well here in the south isl of NZ its not bad yes we can get quite hot and melt the tar on the road just not that often and cold well I think its about right and yes we have about 10 frosts in winter over much of NZ , over all its still a good weather place ,
Tasmania , I like it there as I go over in june / july and this will be soon for 6 weeks over the bridge from Hobart though I have been to other parts of Australia and yes can be very hot so I like Tas,e ,

pat8lanips: I was watching Shameless the other day, and recalling how Frank Gallagher says "Mann-chest-orrr" at the beginning. That guy always cracks me up.
The Manchester tang is marginally better than the Ozzie twang, although I suppose it could grow on you if it came out of Serene
