They got banned in Australia a few years ago. Something to do with helping British migrants feel less home sick.

I'd rather eat supplements, let my skin age more slowly and reduce the risk of melanoma.

also would prefer not to get melanoma

2000 IU of Vitamin D a day as a supplement, no risk of melanoma

pale white skin kinda comes with the stereotype of the nerdy IT professional, so I'm OK with it

20mins in the midday summer sun with no 50+ sunscreen on white Anglo skin brings up a nice shade of pink.

**** the ozone hole and **** R11 (whatever the refrigerant was that did the most damage).

Northern hemisphere has it so good

Wyfe convinced me to get in one in the back of a laundry mat about 17 years ago. I itched everywhere for days. Still not sure what I contracted.
