I'll have you know that some of we big, hairy macho types still have our 
Achilles' heels.  In a long playing session I have to use lip cream 
occasionally, and outdoors in the summer a sunblock on the lips is mandatory 
for me.  I avoid anything with a smell or flavour like the plague.  And I'll 
definitely leave the coloured stuff to the girls and...er...anyone else 
inclined to use it...
