the scourge of summer!

Featured Replies

I usually don't get sunburned, just get a bit of a nice tan. On the odd occasion that I do get sunburned I just put on some babylotion, but I don't get ... 'white people' tan (aka skin peeling), my skin just stings.

The scourge of summer is undoubtedly the midge (pronounced mid-gee). Anyone who lives in or has been to Scotland will know what I'm talking about. You might get tiny biting flies where you live, but not like ours. They're unbearable.

 

 

 

I have to agree with that. Midges drive me mad every summer, they're intolerable.

and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God.

New Zealand is s really bad country to be in for sunburn...

 

Sunscreen does the trick usually. Its annoying to put on though.... But forget to wear in while playing cricket for almost the whole daytime.... I've learnt that lesson....

Doomy edit: I like sheep

I've had a damn good farmer's tan for 2 months now ;) I tan very easily, and rugby had me outside a lot. Some people are jealous of it (All girls :lol: ). Now I think I've reached my limit as far as a tan goes on my arms and neck, just have to get a tan on the rest of my body.

There's no such thing as regret. A regret means you are unhappy with the person you are now,

and if you're unhappy with the person you are, you change yourself. That

regret will no longer be a regret, because it will help to form the new,

better you. So really, a regret isn't a regret.

It's experience.

I've never had a problem with sunburn but its hayfever that pisses me off, seems to get worse every year as well.

Sounds a lot like the ones we have up north in Sweden called knott, their bites hurt like hell. Looks like knotts are smaller than midges, but they make up for it by being known to kill horses and cows.

There is no scourge of summer here. :thumbup: A lot of my friends get burnt but I just tan so the sun doesn't bother me - and not much for annoying bugs around here...

May the presents of our lord and savior, Santa, be with you this holiday season!

I don't go outside enough to really worry about it. When I do go out, I usually end up in some building somewhere anyway.

Any time of the year you can get sunburnt here. :|

 

 

 

I'm rarely outside, always in some kind of building.

The horseflies on my grandmother's farm bite chunks out of me, it's really disgusting.

 

Ever since I learned the potential threat behind sun burns and skin cancer, I made sure I wore sunscreen when I knew I'd be outside all day. 2/4 of my uncles have skin cancer, so I'm definitely prone to it. The only downside to healthy skin is that I cannot peel off layers of it and toss them at my friends anymore :cry:

 

 

 

I live right next to a river, it attracts so many bugs,insects and a few billion midges, you give up wiping them off your arms and legs after a few days.

 

 

 

I've had my sunburn already this summer, hopefully i won't get anymore, but i am going biking for a few hours tomorrow :shock:

Big thanks to Stevepole for the signature!^

I cannot stand being out in the sun, and usually go out at night, so I don't have that problem.

 

Lucky theres no such thing as moonburn, eh?

Here's a solution: Nuclear warheads+Sun=No more sunburns

 

 

 

No bad side that I can see.

 

That's because you couldn't see anymore.

 

OT, I don't burn, I toast. Caramel skin :thumbup:

Give 'em time. The scientists will come out with it.

I burn once then I'm good for the rest of summer. This year I've had my tan already built up due to track.

[bleep] the law, they can eat my dick that's word to Pimp

Sunscreen.

 

Hate to just say "this", but it's really true. We have the means to protect ourselves, and if you can't be bothered then you can enjoy the consequences.

Not sure if it really works, but i put Noxzima cream on the sunburn when i shower and then rinse it off. It still hurts after, but it might help it get better faster.

 

 

 

Or maybe it just mentally makes me feel better, but it helps for me. 8-)
