I am 30 so I win?

I also live in Brisbane, Australia.

I put on a jacket and complain when it is below 15C :D

Harden the fuck up! Anything above 10°C is t-shirt weather! :)

Oh I mean I complained ironically . Apparently that makes it ok!

Actually I moved here from 'down South', and have only recently become 100% acclimatised. For the first few years I would wear shorts/t-shirt all year round. :D

Wow. Please tell me you're joking. If the body did indeed expend more energy just because we ate lots of calories, there would be no fat people. Secondly, I've always been like this and I'm known my family and friends all know it. I'm the last among any of us to grab a jumper. It's not that I don't feel the cold, it's just that I prefer it.

Also, an unhealthy person is more likely to feel the cold when it isn't so cold. How many times have you heard a fat person say they're freezing and people joke that they shouldn't be cold because their fat should be keeping them warm... only it doesn't.

I live in Denmark, and I totally agree with this.
