Phil Lynott was actually sacked by the lead singer of Skid Row, Brush Shiels in the late sixties. They remained on good terms and by Lynott's admission Shiels taught him to play the base guitar. Phil went on to form the band Orphanage...

This osprey pair are such proud parents. I can sit and watch these all day!

Just bite the bullet and have it done! Seriously, there's nothing to it, aside from the eyedrops routine post-op, and that's not forever. I had both eyes done about a year ago, and got new glasses with the first pair of thin lenses...

My Great Uncle had them in the 1980s & had to give up driving because of them, I think his doctor restricted him to daylight driving but he decided to hand his licence in because he thought his eyesight would keep getting worse.
