Our sailors may allow themselves to be kidnapped by Iranians and our footballers shed tears in public, but it is good to know that when it comes to unattractive women walking around in the snow in their underwear, the British are still the world's toughest:

After punishing us with this link, I give you two choices.

1. You will post an equal number of french women dressed lightly in parisian winter,

or

2. You will proxy for me some Saphir Medaille D'Or shoe creams that I can't order from Valmour because they charge 30 euros shipping for a few creams.

Does not surprise me at all, you can frequently see women (note I do not use the word ladies) in Edinburgh out in a mini skirt (really an oversized belt) strappy top and heels in the worst kinds of weather. One of the things I found a pain to deal with in the winter there was having to go from freezing cold to the heat of a bar or club and what to do with the extra clothes you wore to keep you warm. These gals of course avoid this by only wearing a beer (voddy/cheap wine) jacket. We should form a regiment of them and ship them off to Afghanistan as shock troops. So long as suitable quantities of cheap alcohol were provided, perhaps some in their rations and some dropped at key locations behind enemy positions I think they would make some of the toughest combatants out there.

I work at the coat check of a night club, you would be amazed at the things I'm forced to lay my gaze upon. Regardless, the pendulum often swings to the other side: jackets that would look out of place even in the arctic, gloves in september, several scarves per individual. I usually come to work wearing a t-shirt and a simple leather jacket, so I'm not easily shocked by the lack of clothes people apparently go into the colds for - but there are always these kinds of women who leave their coat with me, only to leave for another club. Too poor to take their jacket with them and afford the coat check at the next club.

And don't get me started on the people who go outside for a smoke in this freezing weather.

Heh, that's not a bad idea actually.

Just in case you clicked the link and feel dizzy, this is to make you feel better.

HHD, is this considered "looking french" ?

She's very attractive Panos, but more of a transatlantic version of a French girl, I think. Don't see so many blondes / berets / Norah Batty stockings over here. More's the pity ;-)

I have to say, I have been to Paris many times and don't recall seeing women dressed like this. From all European cities I had the good fortune of visiting, I found the most interesting styled/dressed women are the ones in Athens & Thessaloniki, Milan and London.

This is an awesome idea. When regular troops face them in combat the Taliban wouldn't be able to shoot, on account on their using both hands to cover their privates just in case.

I have a Google Alert set up for drunk+women+state_of_undress.

(Actually I read something from most of the British nationals everyday. The joys of the internet. I've often wondered which I'd pay for if Mr Murdoch succeeds in driving the UK press behind paywalls)
