lce cold kiss
Recently returned from six months' OE is Jude & John Hotter, full of skiing stories from the north. Not all the stories are about skiing though. John 'Luigi' Hotter, the man who never falls off the end of his magnificent moustache, tells of one story about a Canadian building site, mid winter. Now most Canadians know not to work outside when it's 30° below, but Kiwis think they can. To highlight how cold it was, Luigi tells of a time he was atop a ladder, when he reached over to grab a nail or something, and his moustache touched the aluminium ladder and stuck itself to the metal - frozen solid! His workmate (must have been another Kiwi) had to climb up past him and pour his thermos tea over the moustache to defrost it. Phew! Lucky he didn't have to cut it off!
