I've gone for Golden Brown - hope for glen's sake I'm right

Very true actually, not nice to go red or beetroot red, can be real nasty. I've seen many a tourist end up at the hospital having to have injections amongst other treatment because they've gone overboard with the sunbathing, some even miss their flights back home coz the hospital insists on keeping them in coz they're sooooo badly burnt.

I'm sure our glen will be a sensible sunbather

I've seen similar even here in Cornwall, toots - it must be so painful

Normally September is the hottest month of the year (other than when we get the calimas (heat) in from the sahara desert which is what we've got now). It can also sometimes go on right through to end of October.

I remember having friends over on halloween day, 31st October, and it was a scorcher then too. So you should be ok if you like it hot, if not then you've got problems

I got big problems

Blakey and extreme heat do not gel
Last time in turkey when the temperature hit the low 40s I slipped in and out of sleep for two days and never ate for four whole days- zero appetite
This is what happens when I leave the other half in charge of holiday bookings
She got the hump last time when I was out of action due to heat so it'll serve her right if she has to spend most of the first week on her own due to the same
Not looking forward to holidays

I've heard it is very very painful.

You know something Chrissie I see a lot of tourists laying out on the sunbeds by the pool day after day, all day long, and I really don't know how they do it. I just cannot sit in the sun for very long at all, let alone lay out in it

My maximum time for actually sitting in the sun is half hour in the morning sunshine with my cuppa tea, before it gets too hot, and then possibly another half hour just before the sun sets. After half an hour I've had enough

Of course I do get more sun when I'm out and about walking around, but that's not the same as sitting in it all day long.

Gotta be 'Tobacco Brown'......He's a fellow HoL Fan! (& a fellow Glenn...albeit spelt wrong!  )

Oh dear, oh deary deary me, yes I think you will have got yourself one big problem, all you can do now is pray  that this year is different to all of the 14 years I've known September to be the hottest month of the year.

You're gonna be like this on your hols then whilst your other half is lapping it up like this and this

You would need to drink at least 4 litres of water a day to stay hydrated, you'd probably not feel too bad then - well hopefully

My biggest fear over glen is the language barrier, I bet they can't understand a word he's saying

[Bluefish]

I remember when I was in Egypt, roughly 40's and 1 beer at lunchtime gave me a banging headache, was Leffe to blame, usually recovered by tea time though

Depends if he has his Andy Capp titfer on and his Rab C Nesbitt string vest.

Hahaha, could you imagine getting sunburnt with one of those holy vests on - you'd look a right twit when you took it off wouldn't you

Definately no pictures now, I knew It was a mistake packing my string vest, lol

[PinkyPuff]
