it goes without saying that all of the above applies to everyone except @Diddles , who is sound (and who will probably kill me, and I don't blame her)

I'd like to take up sea swimming too but I'm not getting into Dublin bay. They were talking about this on the radio recently, some medical guy said it's good for you, gets the circulation going and boosts the immune system. A listener texted in to ask if a cold shower would have the same benefits and he said yes it does as long as you stay in long enough to get really freezing and shivery so I've started doing that. It's fairly miserable.

I tried it for a while because I heard it really helped with anxiety. It didn't work for me. What did work was not being a dick to myself and allowing myself to have warm showers.

there's all sortsof stuff people will claim about sea swimming. one thing though it does help is a friend's psoriasis.

My friend who last year was a big sea swimming enthusiast seems to have knocked it on the head this year.

I kinda did that with cycling once i realised the whole planet was gonna be out there. Only been back out a few weeks once the weather got bad enough to chase them away.

I have taken up sea swimming but i am very special and not like everyone else

I have heard cold water is really good for your skin. Helps with dandruff and the like.

Johnson is isolating after being in contact with a confirmed case. Don't care about him but it'd be pretty bad if he got it a second time.

[Unicron]

Well only inasmuch as it'd be another case of a second infection. Unless the conspiracists who thought he was faking it in March were right.

 

[pete]

I actually wouldn't wish it on anyone.

Anyone have figures for outdoor transmissions?

Jaws is one thing, it's seeing some of the toothy things caught along the Dublin coast in the Natural History Museum that really puts me off. That and the cold. And the stony beaches. And @rettucs's mates.
