I'm incredibly pale, and I don't really get a tan when exposed to sunlight. The skin gets some slightly olive hue, and that's it.

And yet still, I practically never get a sunburn.

Eh? It's not that hard, y'know; I didn't lift it all at once.

It's not the shifting that's tough anyways, it's the breaking of the firebricks up with a bloody great mallet. My dad managed to negotiate taking a skip off of a local building site, so rather than pay £500 to dump it, we got their rubble to use to fill in a trench to level the back garden.

It's probably a good thing, cos otherwise we'd have had to buy 80-odd tonnes of soil instead.

'Course in 10 years when you go to plant something there, you'll wonder why it won't grow like you want it to.;)

Given that a) it's a lawn and b) we won't be living here in 10 years time, I couldn't give a s### :D

Still another 20+ tonnes of topsoil to add, anyways.

Lol.

I've got a light tan atm because its winter and I stay inside. That and I'm hooked on Eve. 0_0

Even with a nice tan though, you can get burned pretty easily without the right protection. Sun care is pretty heavily educated here. We got a big hole in the Ozone thanks to the rest of the world. :p
