    Truckers often have one armed tan from leaving it out the window as they drive....

    Theoretically I could burn if I went out in the sun but I tend to lurk in the shade of the palms and still wear sunscreen.

    Boldly go.

    Oh, and I was once an avid cyclist. Still am, really, I just don't have a bike anymore.

    But anyway, cyclist's tan. The last joint on each finger; tanned. A circle on the back of my hands; tanned. My arms from mid-bicep to wrist; tanned. My legs from mid-thigh to the top of each knee; tanned. My face; tanned. The back of my neck; tanned. A triangle on my chest; tanned.

    Everything else; smurfing luminescent white.

    I tan almost instantly. The only exception being my chest which is why I will do my first couple of small burns in Spring when it's only about 25-28 degrees. That way by the time Summer kicks around I'm tanned enough to not really burn or have to worry about tanning in crazy 35+ days.

    The worst burn I ever had was in Queensland during Summer. I hadn't done what I explained above during Spring so I was still pale-ish from Winter. It was 37 or something and we went to the beach and then played basketball. I was fine after the beach but wearing just a basketball jersey while we played for a few hours pushed it over the top. Over the next few days my shoulders blistered up like nobody's business, I also had to try and sleep on an air-bed which was near impossible. To this day I have a bunch of freckles on my shoulders from that burn which weren't there before.

    My dad is a retired truck driver, I'll have you know.


    ....., He didn't have the "driver's tan" as you call it.

    That's so racist.

    XD

    It's the wrong arm for a UKer to have burned. If I could have gotten away with that excuse I would have.

    Oh, God, Cuch is one of those people who wears his legging attire low so as to show off his underwear. I didn't know you were a tit, man. I'm not sure I can associate with you anymore.

    EDIT: I've had pretty bad burns on my back before when I was a kid/teen in NZ. I remember my entire back peeling off at one point, and how there was a patch of skin that came off in one piece basically the size of half my back. It was pretty neat, but my Mum wanted to put it in a photo album or something and that is taking things too far. Weirdo Mum. >=P I've probably been burned quite a lot in my life overall but yeah.

    I remember when I went to Menorca, I missed a square inch of skin in the middle of my chest when putting on sunscreen somehow, and it burned like a bitch. The weird thing is that the resulting tan didn't go away for months. Seriously. It was like looking at my skintone from when I was in NZ... but just an inch of it. I miss being tan all year 'round. It is nice to know that despite how pasty I've become since arriving in Scotland, I can still get tan pretty well in a hot country and hold it for a long time. Most Brits I know just go hot pink and then straight back to pasty white.

    It's not like we swapped spit beforehand anyway dude. But for the record, that was post-belt being taken off. it was digging in to the sunburn on me belly. I'd of shown you all my chest burns but excess swooning would have happened and I'd of been inundated with marriage proposals. Ain't no one got time for that.

    Post a pic...

    I've been out in the sun all day, and I'm soooo tanned right now! You can't really tell as my skin is brown, but I feel it! My skin genuinely feels sore. But, I like summer and the heat, so I don't mind.
