And I am English like the Wind in the Willows. My clan doesn't tan; instead, we fry under the sun. Have you ever seen those tourists in South Europe that look as though they have walked through a supernova? Yup, yup.
Poland is awesome, by the way. I visited the Royal Academy of Science with some colleagues not too long ago.
BG, I don't know what "YouAreHere" has done to deserve all that flaming, but it must have been something horrible, like asking in a poly forum what OSO means. Disgraceful!
I'll take the bullet (flame thrower?) for the poster who asked the original question. No worries. I build up a good layer of char from the first sunburn of the season and the rest just flakes off.
And BG, I'm 1/4 Polish (mom's dad), 1/4 Lithuanian (mom's mom), and 1/2 mutt (dad is unknown). The Baltic roots give me my sturdy farm body as well as my ghostly, er, milky complexion. And a hell of a love for horseradish.
