Enjoy! Don't be shy!

1. Down at the beach today there was a sign: Air Temp 21/ Water Temp 19. Now, if there is only a difference of 2 degrees between the air and the water, why does it feel like ice when you walk into the sea?

2. What's your favourite beach? (no! not bitch but beeeeeeach!)

3. Do you like your name? If not, what would you change it to?

4. Imagine you live in Britain. Would you cook with frozen Hortex vegetables from the Polski Sklep?

5. What fruit am I thinking of?

Because you body temperature is 36ish deg C - that's 15ish deg higher than the air and 17 deg higher than water. Besides 19 deg C is low, anyways.
2. What's your favourite beach? (no! not bitch but beeeeeeach!)
An empty one.
3. Do you like your name? If not, what would you change it to?
I've grown to like it.
4. Imagine you live in Britain. Would you cook with frozen Hortex vegetables from the Polski Sklep?
I don't do frozen veggies here, can't see why I should do that in Blighty?
5. What fruit am I thinking of?
Not one fruit. A whole basket.

Because it's cold? Anyway, with that kind of water temperature I would not try to get in more than to my knees.
And who goes to the beach to swim when it's only 21 degrees outside? Morsy? ;))
2. What's your favourite beach? (no! not bitch but beeeeeeach!)
The one that is empty and clean. Or at least half empty... with nice white sand and clear water :P
3. Do you like your name? If not, what would you change it to?
Yes I do. It's a very good name, and it's sooo funny when my colleagues try to pronounce it ;)
4. Imagine you live in Britain. Would you cook with frozen Hortex vegetables from the Polski Sklep?
No. Unless british food really sucks (never really tried it, so have no idea what they eat)
5. What fruit am I thinking of?
Banana

'Cause water transmits (?) heat better than air. Or to say it differently, air beter isolates heat than water.
2. What's your favourite beach? (no! not bitch but beeeeeeach!)

Keep the bitch clean. Think environment!
Clean bitches - Save fish

One American guy had lots of laughs once about my pronounciation of some anti litter program in NYC.

Hm, I hadn't been on too many but the ones with cliffs. Those on Rugia island look great from the sea, I might choose them.

edit: Oh, I mean the sea ones only of course. Fresh water smells guys, seriously.
3. Do you like your name? If not, what would you change it to?

Not really. I didn't thing about what I'd change it to, it's strange for me to name yourself.
4. Imagine you live in Britain. Would you cook with frozen Hortex vegetables from the Polski Sklep?

Of course I would, just like I do sometimes in Poland.

Wait, I've never was to Britain actually, you mean there is something wrong with those shops? :O

Water is conducting warmth much better than an air. Much higher loosing body's temperature in water is felt by us as much colder water than air. Can I get peach for good and thorough answer?
2. What's your favourite beach? (no! not bitch but beeeeeeach!)

Kovalam Peach... Bitch... Beach.

3. Do you like your name? If not, what would you change it to?

No, I should be called Voldemort. Yes, I CAN speak my own new name!

4. Imagine you live in Britain. Would you cook with frozen Hortex vegetables from the Polski Sklep?
Nothing. I don't like Hortex even it can resemble me Poland.

5. What fruit am I thinking of?

Bitch... Peach.

I feel for you. The water temp. here was 16 (!!!) today. Even my son, who normally ventures into the murky waters of the Baltic Sea, chose to remain seated on his towel.

Soliman Bay, Mexico.
And, of course, Sianożęty.

Of course! I'd buy paluszki rybne, kaszanka, Polish bread, Polish ketchup, Polish butter, and Polish ham. Especially Krakus Ham in cans. If it still exists, LOL.
