Remember the sun hat
*Hands one to Lighthousegirl UK*

<BB<

Thanks BB

* looks down to see that she is already starting to do an impression of a hot lobster *

Would you do the honours with the Factor 15?

Certainly.
I'm a firm believer in slip-slap-slop, even if the name's daft
*Opens the bottle, and starts rubbing it in.*

<BB<

That feels nice, lovely and cool

Yes, it does, doesn't it?
You know, you should put more on every half hour in this weather. I'm always willing to help

<BB<

Are you better at knowing when half an hour has gone by then I am. At times like this when I am having fun I loose all track of time

* closes eyes and enjoys the warmth of the sun *

Well, whenever you start to warm up again, give me a shout.

<BB<

* lazily *

OK -

* opens eyes with a start *

Oh, sorry I should have asked before, do you need me to rub sunscreen in for you?

Well, if you want to.

<BB<

Well we dont want you getting all burned now do we!

* rubs suncream onto BB *

Ah, thanks. It's so good to see you care.
*Rubs suncream on Lighthousegirl too.*
You know, you really could win a bikini competition. Have you thought about entering one?

<BB<

* enjoys having the sunscreen applied *



What you mean worst dressed bikini wearer?

Worst dressed bikini? That would be a sight to see...
How can a bikini be badly worn?
Or perhaps I don't want an answer!

<BB<

Well that is a thought!

* thinks BB is wearing his shorts rather well *

Do they do best shorts wearer competitions?

Not that I know of... Perhaps you could organise one? ;-) I'm sorry to advertise, but the reason I brought this up was because in a few weeks I'm going to start the 3rd Annual H2G2 Bikini Competition, and I thought it'd be great if you would enter. It hasn't started yet, but you could tag along at: http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/F44375?thread=139519 to find out more details and see who the competition is going to be. Basically, it's a bit of beach-related fun, and as you said you wanted to go to the beach, this will be a great oppurtunity to get to know everyone. Although, if you want to stay here and let me rub in more suntan oil, that'll be great too. :-D

Oh you mean actually do something other than laze around! Well maybe that would not be such a bad idea.

Could we combine the two?

There's no real reason why they couldn't be combined, if we worked out a way.
Or we could have one, then the other. What would you want to do? We'd need a bit of plotting time.

<BB<

Oh no - do you want me to actually think and then make a decision

I was thinking that you might...
...Or we could just do a seperate thing later on, when we get organised? What do you think?
The bikini competition hasn't started yet, so it could be adjusted to include shorts - but traditionally men have entered the bikini competition too - but have never got any higher than 3rd.

I'm just seeing who's interested in it this year at the moment.

<BB<

Well I dont see why the guys could not wear bikini's too, could be very interesting

* thinks to herself possibly more interesting than shorts since less imagination will be required *

Are you going to enter?
