What about removing your sun glasses too? Do you wear them at work too? (I hope your sun glasses haven't rooted on your head)
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.

Technically it's some kinda sauce. Any other sauce you don't like?

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.

About 6 or 7, myself. Reading Thomas the Tank Engine books under the bedclothes with a torch. D'oh!

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 :-

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
