I’ve killed two pairs this winter, including my favourite, silent (yes, you read that right) pair. No, I don’t know how.

I have those trousers too. Bloody hate them. Got them when I was a professional Tree Hugger and do you know what’s the worst thing about them (apart from the swishing noise whenever you move)? It’s their total indestructability. They will outlive you. You will probably be buried in them. I loathe the things. Still wear them to plant trees though …

Flighty – it’s wierd, I’m feeling better by the day but by the evening my sinuses have clogged up again and are now extremely painful

I’ve been to Copenhagen twice and it was glorious weather both times.

I even ran across the field in them. Don’t think I could bring myself to cycle in them, though. The rustling noise would do my head in!

And it’s not a wetsuit you need, but a full on dry suit!

Might look a bit weird, but it would ironically keep the rain out, and keep you very toasty.

There’s a market for this somewhere.
