Eddie subsequently named his own son Wolfgang van Halen after Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

He wasn't the clear lead singer of the band although he was on the stage so he had a clear singing opportunity.

Factor 50 suncream has the same strength has factor 10. The difference is that factor 50 will protect a lot longer. In other words sun screen is measured in time, not strength.

That's not true, it measures how much UVB rays it lets through and less gets through the higher the spf.

30 97%
50 98%

Never knew that.

Any of the factors over 20 are too thick.

He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

There's also a UVA rating on sun cream bottles and some of the more expensive bottles only have 3 stars while the cheaper ones have 5 stars

Yup there was outrage during the heatwave when this (not so new information) was publicized.

I think it was Boots kids sunscreen which was factor 50 but only had a 2 or 3 star UVA rating

I remember reading a survey a few years ago that suggested 50% of the French public supported a reintroduction of capital punishment.
