Sunburned
I was out all day on Saturday and now i have totally fried! My arms, face, forehead, chest and back of my neck are the same colour as a lobster (not to mention bloody sore!). I went to a BBQ on Saturday and was out at that all day (with no protection). I am aching all over. It's my own fault....
Did anyone else fry over the weekend?

yup, I was outside without a top on draining the oil from the back end of my tractor (a really filthy job!) and didn't realise how much sun I was getting. Didn't really get much sleep last night...
but... this thread isn't the one with the typo...
oh, the other has gone now, was your post moved?
Factor 25, and a big floppy hat works for me.
I bet you look a right plum :p
heehee :D
I would never date a sun worshipper again (not the news paper ;) )
I have got sun burned 3 times over the years.. once when very drunk (opposite the Elle model agency in central London there was our local pub :) ) and a friends wedding , it was deceptive as it didn't actually feel warm / hot and helping a girlfriend do her garden... I say garden it was the size of about 5..
May as well go to Factor 50 just be sure. Or mud. Maybe parasols for men could come into fashion? ;)
Wearing sun tan lotion is sensible but a big floppy hat the first second we get a bit of sun ? Thats ott !
Was out in the sun tons as i thought it wouldnt last, bit chilly today, still had a few days of beautiful weather at least
Well ok maybe big was an exaggeration, but its kinda floppy. The hat is not OTT, it stops my neck getting burnt and it works.
It's a little like this but dark red. So yes I suppose I did look like a plum.
Think you've been spending too much time with your wife, you need to get out more with the guys. That hats a 'normal' hat to wear, but when you say 'wore a floppy hat' i think we all had the vision of a huge great summery female type hat !
what are you trying to suggest there psj? :p
I recommend strongly something called "P20". It's a bit pricey (around ?20), but it lasts ages and it's far better than those greasy creams.
It's a clear liquid, you apply it once in the morning, and then you can forget being burned for the rest of the day AND it's swim/sweat resistant.
It doesn't mess up your clothes, shirt-collars, etc. There's a similar one called "Ultrasun SPF20" that you can buy from John Lewis - it's just as good.

Thats a point ! I have been looking to get a free standing cooling unit for the whole house, any advice ? Such as, are they really loud ? I have seen two different ones, one at ?39.99 the other at ?300, does any one have any experience of these ?
lol, i thought it might have been one of those straw hats. :p
you need one of those garden sprays, just squirt yourself every so often.
you'll fine you wont use the cooling unit often, cos we live in fecking england you fool. :p
its already cold outside, im putting the heating on soon.
you better off with a basic fan though.
I bet you look like a red matchstick !
I guess that will teach me to Bic my head in July :D
It's cooled down the last day or so. I guess that's summer over!:smile:
Hmm, you were 'taking note of the men...?' Best say no more about that!
I recommend getting Banana Boat SPF50 ... seems to be the only one that works on me.
It's clear and water/sweat resistant.
Haha that stuff does work all too well, I put some on the first time I went to Florida, but I didn't put enough on and somehow the entire right side of my torso got burnt, but had a perfect white handprint in the middle of the redness where I'd obviously applied the sunblock a little too sparingly :D
I obviously was none too pleased but the missus thought it was hilarious :evil:
is it just me or does that sound racist?
Who wants to ban Anna? And who is she anyways? Racist? Nah... sexist maybe, but you brought it up.
