Best suncream out there!

That's the only one I've found that stops my pasty skin from burning after 5 minutes of exposure.

Yeah I read that, but was there not some controversy about the test? Besides, until another brand leaves me smelling like a coconut I'll stick with HT.

nothing like smelling like coconut to know you are protected.....i love that smell too!

plus it's not really going to be sunny enough to burn in Ireland anyway unless you're a ginger.

It most certainly does get sunny enough

Only the other day I read about new oral (careful, I'll do the jokes) sunscreen. Bottles in all factors, so you take a spoonful of, say factor 30, and off you go, will also come in with a "bronzing" option. Currently awaiting FDA approval.

On another note, I recall something last year about Aldi and Lidl sunscreens being as good, if not better than the more expensive branded options.

I found myself in a curious situation today. Out in the middle of nowhere, sun beating the rocks, nobody around for miles, just me, the dog, and my bottle of Hawaiian Tropic.

I had already applied sunscreen to my exposed extremeties, but as I was working hard I wanted to take my shirt off. Unfortunately, I had no way of rubbing lotion on my back.

So my question is this. How do single people sunbathe safely?

Get yerself a lass....

I'm pretty sure that was some kind of homeopathic bull**** that discussed things like "the liquid being highly diluted will vibrate on your skin, blocking the sun".

I can't stand putting on sun cream. I just rather wear clothes.

Clothes that cover my face are the best

The dilemma is if you want melanoma or not.

Put your shirt on.

Just lay on your back the entire time. Problem solved.

Very hard to foot turf lying on your back though.

Round here, €80 a plot buys you the ability to have your turf footed and you can do whatever it is you like while they're at it. Borgain. They can rub in goose grease for all I care, using the head of a small goat, meanwhile, I'll be over here, doing somthing else..

For €80 I can heat my home for over half a year. Well worth a bit of elbow grease on my part.

Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth,

oh, never mind

You will not understand the power and beauty of your youth
Until they've faded but trust me, in 20 years, you'll look back
At photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now
How much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked

You are not as fat as you imagine

Don't worry about the future
Or know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum
The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind
The kind that blindsides you at 4 p.m. on some idle Tuesday

Do one thing every day that scares you

Don't be reckless with other people's hearts
Don't put up with people who are reckless with yours

Floss

Don't waste your time on jealousy
Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind
The race is long and in the end, it's only with yourself
Remember compliments you receive, forget the insults, if you succeed in doing this, tell me how
Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements

Stretch

Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life.
The most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives
Some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know still don't
Get plenty of calcium
Be kind to your knees
You'll miss them when they're gone

Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't
Maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't
Maybe you'll divorce at 40, maybe you'll dance the 'Funky Chicken'
On your 75th wedding anniversary
Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much
Or berate yourself either
Your choices are half chance, so are everybody else's

Enjoy your body, use it every way you can
Don't be afraid of it or what other people think of it
It's the greatest instrument you'll ever own
Dance, even if you have nowhere to do it but your own living room
Read the directions even if you don't follow them
Do not read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly

Get to know your parents, you never know when they'll be gone for good
Be nice to your siblings, they're your best link to your past
And the people most likely to stick with you in the future

Understand that friends come and go
But a precious few, who should hold on

Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle
For as the older you get, the more you need the people you knew when you were young
Live in New York City once but leave before it makes you hard
Live in northern California once but leave before it makes you soft

Travel

Accept certain inalienable truths
Prices will rise, politicians will philander, you, too, will get old
And when you do, you'll fantasize that when you were young
Prices were reasonable, politicians were noble
And children respected their elders

Respect your elders

Don't expect anyone else to support you
Maybe you have a trust fund, maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse
But you never know when either one might run out

Don't mess too much with your hair
Or by the time you're 40 it will look 85

Be careful whose advice you buy but be patient with those who supply it
Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing the past
From the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts
And recycling it for more than it's worth






But trust me on the sunscreen

Oh for God's sake - I'll put ur F-ing suncream on ............! Let me know when the RAIN STOPS!
