The only good thing about winter is snow and we hardly get any of that.

'Winter' in the UK is just slightly colder and cloudier than the usual grim weather. The only way you can tell it's winter is there's a thin layer of frost on the ground and everyone's more miserable than usual because they've got to buy other people presents.

Not everyone. I delight in our varied climate, particularly at the cooler end of the year, and seeking out interesting gifts is a pleasure in itself, quite apart from the giving thereof.

I know what it is. Do you regard all citizens of a country as hostages? Or just the ones that are happy to live there?

Changing in Kuwait? Into what? Oh wait don't they have an indoor skislope you do ski right so probably into that "sexy" kneepad ski outfit....don't fall.





Oh wait that's Dubai right. Why not try to reschedule your flight to allow for a stopover there just so you'll have memories of what winter is like?

You are powerless to change the weather of the place where you live so you're in a position of captivity, yes.

And I really don't see what being happy to live in the UK has to do with it. Did I hurt some of your nationalistic pride (in your country's weather of all things!) or something?

Not at all, I was just confused at your unusual application for Stockholm Syndrome. I really don't think it applies in this case as I could, if I chose, leave the UK. I'm really not nationalistic about the country at all, I just happen to enjoy the weather here!

Like I mentioned before, Stockholm Syndrome victims also express positive feelings towards their captors. You express such feelings about the weather in the UK.

Did you chose to live in the UK because of the weather? Because if not, then you are indeed a captive as you cannot escape (not for long, at least) or change it.

But if you're asking me if I think the weather stuck a gun in your face and threw you in the basement then I guess the technical answer would be "no".

Although the winter didn't have to say "freeze".

Ignore him. He's just trying to scare you off so you don't eat his sardines.
