Christmas Present Ideas: Glacier Embracing Suit
For anyone who really believes that all of the glaciers in the Himalayas are going to melt by 2030 (remember that the IPCC quoted that “fact” as true from that well-known scientific journal “Climbing” magazine), this is an ideal Christmas present: a Glacier Embracing Suit:
This suit explores the avenue of “body” language and non-verbal communication. Intended for awkward introductory glacier encounters, it acts as an “ice breaker”, better enabling a person to lie prone on the surface of the glacier and give it a hug. Worn on the front of the body, the reflective padded material serves to mediate the difference in temperatures between the human body and the glacial ice.
At least it’s safer than hugging an angry polar bear.
Not only is that a rubbish “birdman of Selsea” suit, but it’s suicide to jump when the sea is frozen.

BTW, sorry for vanishing at the end of livechat last night but my computer froze up.
That’s exactly what it looks like, yes, pier jumping in January! Thought it was odd you disappeared without saying goodbye but I thought it was a really good one last night – a nice mix between on topic and random banter.
