leigh white Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 On my first trip abroad to Ibiza in 81 on a 18-30 jolly. Supping ale in the airport, cheap vodka on bus in the transfer, checking in late in the hotel, then on the piss again. Then making the mistake of crashing out on the beach to sleep off my hangover on the following day.I suffered like fuck for the next two weeks. I learned a lot, just take it easy, get pissed but stay in the shade. Quote
ron Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 Last year on ship from Dover to Barcelona, got scorched in Weymouth! Legs sore as fuck for the entire holiday. Previous to that was Southport in early 80's. Quote

stevieb Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 Can see this turning in to a thinly veiled thread, so.... Morjim beach goa a couple of years back. Valentines day, got this cabana for the two of us, the Mrs was preggers I was a bit too gung-ho with the carrot oil despite it being 35 degrees. Was painful putting a top on for the next couple of days. Quote
DazBob Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 The first and only time I ever used that P20 sun cream, was in Egypt in July. Obvs was fucking roasting and on my first day I burnt both my shins so badly they blistered. By fuck they were sore and then started weeping. They were scarred for years afterwards. Quote
Smiley Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 Early 80s. First holiday abroad - South of France. Burnt everywhere - but in particular one of my ears. Got friendly with a couple of Brummie lads on the campsite. But one of them was a cunt and every time I annoyed him, he touched my ear - which made me cry like a girl. Never forget it. About 3-4 weeks ago - went mountain biking on an island off the coast of Croatia - didn't expect hot sunny weather - but that's what we got. Had no hat or sun cream and got pretty badly burnt. Skin still flaking off even now! Parents always tried to put natural yoghurt on my burns as a kid. Quote
little whitt Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 i just go brown 99.99% of the time the only time i burnt was 1993 blue logoon went red all over Simon Weston stile then day after chicken pox came out i lived alone at the time moved back my mums for two week to be nursed better Quote
Barnstoneworth White Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 Went to watch the Open at St Andrews in 1995, it was sunny but cool and windy as buggery. Woke up the next day with a heed the colour of a beetroot and sore as hell Quote
no balls Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 Canoeing down the Loire valley. I didn't think to put suntan lotion on my legs so both had blisters the length of my legs from my thighs to my knees, which isn't very long but still, it was painful. A lad popped them, the bastard and about 3 litres of water came flooding out. Ewwww! Quote
freds dad Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 I went to Greece late 80's and while trying to impress the girl I had taken burnt my feet and legs while trying to windsurf. How was I expected to know that suncream washed off in the sea. I spent the next few days sat with my legs in the pool trying keep them cool. Quote
SatanGreavsie Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 While back I kipped in the garden in the sun in shorts and burnt me legs to buggery. Came in and thought I'd best put some "after sun" cream on and in me absent minded (pissed up) state picked the bottle up and rubbed the stuff in. 30 seconds later I'm thinking "what the fuck" - turns out I'd used the wrong bottle - same colour but in fact it was Hobrite ceramic oven cleaner. Daft cunt. Fuck me that hurt Quote
frankietheman Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 Corfu early 80's. Both insteps got badly burnt and swelled just like 2 bloons. Could'nt walk properly for 10 days after that, have vivid memories of falling off the council gritter mid thrust as it was painful to put feet on floor. Quote
fellman Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 Isle of Man 1976 blister on the whole of my back, lost my eyesight for two hours I was blind suffered for over a month.....I'll as fuck. Quote
bolton_blondie Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 Burnt my boobs on my first ever girls holiday so badly I had scars on the tops of them for months afterwards. Also went to a wedding in Protaras Cyprus and burnt my arse cheeks falling asleep face down on the sunlounger hungover to hell. Couldn't sit down for a week without wincing afterwards. Quote

White on Tyne Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 I fell asleep on the beach once and badly burnt the front of my legs and above knees. Had to go to the hospital and diagnosed with second degree burns. Skin started to blister and was in pain so the doctor prescribed continuous intravenous feeding with saline, electrolytes, a sedative plus a Viagra tablet every four hours. The nurse was a bit surprised and asked the doctor what good Viagra would do. He said it won't do anything to help my condition but it would keep the sheets off my legs. Quote

kent_white Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 Remember going on holiday with my mates family to Northern France when we were about 12. Liberally applied suncream throughout but forgot about my feet. Burned the tops of them so bad that I couldn't walk for about 3 days - which is a shame as they were planning a few hikes. Unpopular child! Quote
Winchester White Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 Burnt my back when a kid in Majorca, it wasn't even that hot and was cloudy so my mum didn't apply cream that often but I was in and out of the pool loads so what I did have on washed off. I was in agony for the rest of the holiday with massive blisters all over my back. I have been over careful with the sun since and my kids have tons of the stuff on all the time. Sunburn is a cunt.

Dr Faustus Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 I am ginger. Leicester in 2000 felt like the gates of hell Quote
Big City Girl Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 Lanzarote about 10 years ago. The wind keeps you cool and you think you don't burn. I go red, then tan. I had scales and was in agony. Instead of learning from it, I was back there 4 weeks ago and even with Factor 50 I burnt like a bastard. Quote
tomski Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 Probably easier to explain when I haven't been sunburnt:) Quote
