hey big j, i think you are just lucky and come from the right stock even if your dads a ginga ninja like me...

 

didnt you say you had some german in you some where? i know a couple of germans and each summer they tan rather than burn so i conclude they are used to it rather than our 5 min summers catching us out each year...

 

 

as a ginger myself i dont tend to burn but i will go bright red for a day then the next day im bright white again...

 

in saying that i did get blistering burns whilst on holiday when i was 13 when me and my brother were scorched after only 1/2 hour as we were both on epilepsy tablets and this made us cook quickly. both our arms and shoulders were buggered and niether of us slept for three days cause of the pain...

Got me other day, religously applied suncream to all exposed skin as usual but didnt think about there being a small hole in the back of my t shirt, ended up with a very sore loclaised patch of sunburn :blushing:

yes had that 1 a few years back with a little rip in the back of a t shirt and a 1" burn patch by night

got to watch the bald patch these days as easaly forgotten.

The whole human hand & arm appendage thing is badly designed. No thought given to the self-application of sun-block. I'm sure snakes don't have the same problem.

I never burn, just tan. Never wear sun screen, lived in Thailand for two years and never a problem there either. So my question is are you still at risk of skin cancer in my situation?
