What was I bloody thinking? A two and a half hour cruise on the Spirit of Boston, zero sunscreen, standing on deck drinking beer. If I walk into a restaurant today they'll chuck me in boiling water and drip butter all over me.

It's amazing how such a small ball of fire hanging in the sky can cause so much discomfort in such a short period of time.

ouch!

It's why 15-25 minutes a day exposure is important.

I no longer need sunscreen this season.

I will still use it on my face, ears and my forearms if I am going to do a 4+ hour ride as they take the brunt of the attack while riding.

I know sunscreens like a sommelier knows his wine.

Lots of Irish tans here, too, if we're not careful.

I'm not even bloody Irish.

I did however very nearly go into a bar called The Uisce Beatha, but my boss made me get back on the bus.

There's a reason the French call the Brits "les homards".
The dogma lives loudly within me.

:lol:

Bostonians also called British soldiers "lobsters" during the Revolutionary War.
Civilisation, I vaguely realized then - and subsequent observation has confirmed the view - could not progress that way. It must have a greater guiding principle to survive. To treat it as a carcase off which each man tears as much as he can for himself, is to stand convicted a brute, fit for nothing better than a jungle existence, which is a death-struggle, leading nowhither. I did not believe that was the human destiny, for Man individually was sane and reasonable, only collectively a fool.

I hope the gunner of that Hun two-seater shot him clean, bullet to heart, and that his plane, on fire, fell like a meteor through the sky he loved. Since he had to end, I hope he ended so. But, oh, the waste! The loss!
