God knows what I would have looked like without it :blink:

Anyone recommend an EFFECTIVE sunblock???? i think I've tried EVERY one on the market and still I resemble a freshly boiled lobster :confused:

Even the zinc on the nose doesnt work..... Reckon its all those years spent on steroids....

I dont do any sun worshipping.... Its the scariest phrase "working on my tan" seeing people with melanomas being hacked about isnt much fun... The older folk who used to use cooking oil and worked outside come rain or shine you can understand... But young people "working in their tan"...... You'd think they knew better by now...

Hehehe, yeh, some sense isn't so common. :D



Oh, I remember that stuff <nostalgia> You might as well cover yourself in water for all the good it will do over here :D



I know we have some:
- In the cupboard
- In my backpack
- In my cricket bag
- In the kid's school pack

We also have some of that Zinc stuff that is just vile.

I wish the laboratory boffins would hurry up and make a sunscreen pill. I'm always too tanned despite being diligent with the factor 30. The sun up here now is absolutely blazing. Blouse, hat, sunscreen etc - you just can't feel comfortable or keep the lotion on as it drips off.

Where do you get the Zinc sticks from Vim? I can't find them. (not hunted them down but can't see on a quick glance).

Dunno, I get by with the standard suncream.

I'll leave the zinc to the guys attending the test-match (green and gold usually, bless them).

It's great for the kids swimming. I have been told you can pick it up in Woollies. :sunglasses:

Woolies definitely have it - normal stuff and multi packs of different colours.
