Well, I was in Portugal. Anyways, I can rarely wear the things given that a) I love in Scotland and b) i'm blind as a bat without my glasses/contacts, so i make no excuses for taking the opportunity.

Didn't know you were that blind too

Basically, without my glasses it's looking through Vaseline smeared glass anywhere beyond 10 cm or so. Tres annoying.

I hear your pain, Steve. I'm not any better at seeing things beyond a few inches. I started wearing glasses around the age of 8 or 9.

By the way, that's pretty scary looking Scottish Barry White Are you guys related, Steve?

Er, quite a lot. I'm not a very saucy person for the most part.

Only in diet.

I'm suppoed to wear glasses, but never get round to it, my eyesight hasn't changed for years, hough I'll admit, it's been getting a bit worse these last few months, might need to pay Specsavers a call

You'll look like Dr. Greene from the ER with glasses

hehe

I used to have these old National Health Service plastic framed ones when I was in primary school. They were amazing devices, no matter what you looked like before you put them on, afterwards, you always looked like :-

did they bestow similar powers ?

Alas, no They did give you the amazing ability to be called 4-eyes and have kids run off with them because they thought you were blind without them. They thought this was hilarious till they discovered I could still see perfectly well enough to twist their arms up their backs and make them give my glasses back

That's the bit they never bothered putting in Superman, isn't it?
