A Friendly Chat

That's good!  you should tell the other smokers how much better you feel.  be cocky.  They like that.

Next time you might want to check the weather forecast before going out.

There's no point, he lives in England.

Well, it's not that unusual. There's like, what, two lakes in Britain?

Oi mate, there are at least four lakes just in England!

Do you ever log off or do you just sit by your desk waiting for me?

I do log off, but we're in the same timezone so I presume we're both out during the day. I have to head out soon anyway. And I don't wait for you, but I never miss a chance to see what ridiculous thing you're up to. You are literally crazy.

Thanks for sharing that link, now I truly know how small the ponds are over in England.

Really, you can't even reach six square miles? How sad.

Yeah, its amazing that we managed to have a Navy that was feared by the entire world. I guess we are good with water after all. Remind me, what have Finland ever done, ever? I mean ever? Like, what is Finland's most notable achievement?

I didn't realise that the measure of a nation was how big a lake it had.

I think its sad if a nation is full of alcoholics who live 9 months of every year in the dark in sub-zero temperatures wishing they could be Russian.

I didn't mention Finland or measure of national quality at all. I just felt sympathetic that you don't have access to real lakes. You just for some reason felt like this is an opportunity to boast that your police state full of chavs and immigrants is somehow better than my home country.

Really, Thork, do you have to be insecure about everything?

Real lakes? I want to go swimming. Not drive an ekranoplan. How big does a lake need to be? My local lake has a course of 2km. I can do more than one lap if I want.

Oh, so now it's fine that your ponds are small? That's good, I'm glad you accept it.

I think Scotland has some real lakes.  Thork could take a trip if he wants to know what they look like.

England is a has been nation, as most of it's inhabitants are.

Its 6am. I'm about to go to the lake for a swim. Its cold outside. Bbbbrrrrrrr!

England is a has been nation, as most of it's inhabitants are.

I can think of worse places to live.

The lake was freezing. Somehow colder than last time. The water was reasonably still but so cold. It was so cold my face was stinging. It was 6 degrees C when I got in.

I was in the changing room taking off my wetsuit and a Japanese guy was also getting unchanged. He had a tiny little button mushroom for a penis. He joked with his friend that he was normally 9 inches and it was just because the lake was so cold.

I swam about 2km. It was a reasonable effort because I still don't really know how to sight properly and I struggle to keep my heart rate down because of the cold/murky/choppy/dark conditions that make me panic a bit.


Also I've seen "what lies beneath" and I keep thinking this bitch is going to drag me under.

Why do you want to swim in a lake and not a swimming pool at this time of the year?

I swam in a swimming pool all winter. I am doing a race down the River Thames in just over a month, so I need some practice.

You want to do some river swimming, not lake swimming.

The lake is more accessible. The river tends to be full of boats and industrial effluent.

All the more reason to swim in a river and not a lake.

I am doing a race down the River Thames in just over a month, so I need some practice.

Don't worry, I'm confident you'll make it to the bottom first.
