Who got burnt in the sun?

alleepally · 12-07-2005 12:03AM #1

So, it was a lovely day wasn't it. Who went out without the sun factor?

Just one side of my neck is burnt and it's sore. Was only sitting out the back reading for about 20 minutes.

grimloch · 12-07-2005 12:05AM

MEEEE. I was walking round for hours without any bleeding suntan lotion and I can definately feel it on my neck and face. And I'm not going to wear any suntan lotion tomorrow either.

Got a little red on one arm yesterday.

Was careful to sit in the shade under the parasol as we ate and drank outside in the garden. However the sun moved and I didn't

Stung a little last night. Wore long sleeves and SPF20 today.

tisk tisk @ anyone who got sunburnt!

In fairness, its not like you couldn't tell it was hot enough to burn on a day like today!

:rolleyes:

That's seriously dangerous :eek:

Besides, unless you're very dark skinned, you'll end up looking like a redneck culchie farmer - red and pink and white :rolleyes:

No offence meant to redneck culchie farmers

By the time I realised I had to be outside so much it was too late. The clever thing for me would be to prepare and bring in a bit of the old Factor 2 tomorrow, but I won't. I need a bit of a tan anyway.

i got burnt playing football. Sat in the shade all day today though.

Just a chance I'm willing to take. Whenever I put it on it ends up getting in my eyes at some stage and ruining my shirts and all that other hassle. I'll just walk in the shade, I'll be grand.

Sure just get a low block number, Grim. That way you'll get a tan and not cancer

its a win win situation

qz · 12-07-2005 12:19AM

Count me in! I got burnt on Sunday while sunbathing, was careful today but my legs are like lobsters! It's weird because I lay on both sides yet my back is burnt and not the back of my legs but the front of my legs are burnt and my chest is grand.. Weird..

If i get burnt tomorrow at work, or later on today as it would seem ( God I better get to bed) then maybe I'll consider wearing some and trade the ruined shirt for lack of skin cancer.

Lads cop on to yourselves,Burning isn't big and its not clever either,The sun is 1.3 million times bigger than the earth,surely he deserves a bit of respect,in human terms thats like Prince Naseem fighting Iron Mike Tyson,total mismatch.
Slap on the factor and dont mind the girls as they slag you for having shiny hands and shiny heads,you can slag them back when they die from melting relating illnesses.
A helpful motto to remember when sunbathing is "Not too much—as often as possible." Combine productive exercise in the fresh air and sunshine for a really healthful trio.
Stop whingeing about having to put on the lotion and always tell yourself how glad you are that we have photovoltaic and passive solar systems that allow us to harness sunlight directly.

I got very red at the connacht final on Sunday.
Standing in the sun for nearly three hours.
The sun was away to my right so my right side is more red than the rest.
Its beginning to turn brown now though.
The main thing is Galway won. \o/

Tar.Aldarion · 12-07-2005 12:26AM

Thats were you're wrong rkm,the main thing in that story is that you didn't slap on the sunscreen,please try and have more respect for the sun in future otherwise the only final you'll be watching will be your final days on this earth.
You see, I have a very low opinion on tans, tanning products and people who flaunt themselves to the point of their skin bubbling from their bones due to one devastating and frankly life changing experience.

Im not going to get morbid here or stray too far from the beaten track but my dog died from Hot red skin when I was 14. Sunburn for those of you that have not heard the term.
Suspect cause of this was the Sun.
We had only had 3 foreign holidays prior to this so it may even have been caused in this country.
Due to this, my family now take skin protection to the limit when we are in the sun and I strongly advise you to follow suit.

No disrespect to your little friend but i already know what you're saying,
If I was at home the night before AND not hungover AND believed it would be as hot as they said it would in MET EIREANN I would have been wearing sun lotion.

You're preaching to the converted.

If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be IT.

The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience.

I will dispense this advice now.

I got burnt on my left arm, left ear, left side of my neck etc. If this turns to tan I'm going to look freakin' stupid.

ToughCookie · 12-07-2005 01:45AM

Spent ages in the sun for the past two days with no sun lotion and didn't get burnt...didn't even get tanned.
Was thinking of getting sun lotion but i just figure as soon as i buy some, there won't be any more sunshine till next year.

/me hugs my wonderful skin

Kare Bear · 12-07-2005 01:54AM

I wish it did'nt get so hot.Makes me all uncomfortable.

Well, being that your already an avian based disease, I think sunburn would be the least of your problems!

Mocks you lightweights..

5 and half months in Valencia, forget suntan lotion, moi?
