Do you wear glasses?

[Offshore Toon]

Just wondering who the nerds of the board are. I've been expecting my sight to drop off for a few years now but its still fantastic.

[Alex]

I do, yes. It used to be only for driving and watching television, but I find myself wearing them pretty much all the time now.

[Mike]

I do.

[Spammer]

No. Glasses are for gays,

[Giggles]

Something non politics, you're nailing this lately Offy :drool:

I wear them for driving and being at the PC, but I'm always forgetting them so I made sure it wasn't put on my licence.

[randomlegend]

No, my eyes are one of the few bits which actually work correctly.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Yes, my eyes are completely shit.

A shit thread a day seems to be boosting activity quite a bit.

Most of my family need glasses for reading so I suppose I'm a bit of a ticking time bomb. My dad doesn't, but he doesn't read anything and he'd be the last person to admit he needs them.

[Adamski]

20/20 FTW :cool:

[Offshore Toon]

The threads are good offy. Well no, there shit. But keeping the place active.
Exactly. You can take over the mantle later once you've opened a bottle of JD.

[Offshore Toon]

You still gonna have your kid?

They're good shit, especially on a day when everyone is balls deep in Syria.

[Offshore Toon]

Yeah it's all official and the family know. Better half gona do the Facebook announcement tonight.
Fair enough. How old are you?

Yeah, I do like reading what the more informed posters have to say when it comes to politics, but ultimately its more fun to take the piss out of each other.

It's the new football. My lot are better than your lot.

[Offshore Toon]

Bring back racism imo.

[Reg]

Only in the house so I'm only a nerd (/person who wears glasses) in the house.

[Pepe]

Luckily not, wouldn't want to be associated with that lot.

[Disco]

Contact lenses.

[Offshore Toon]

Contact lenses.
The toupee of the glasses world.

What scenarios dictate a need for glasses indoor only?

[Jimmy Floyd]

None, but I'm slightly long sighted. I'll probably need reading glasses in my dotage.

[wullie]

I had to get some years ago purely for the part of the driving test where you read a number plate, and then I didn't wear any for years until I noticed the left eye being worse than the right. The decade of driving illegally never really occurred to me until I realised what it was like to be able to see properly again.

[Reg]

Wanting to wear contacts when I'm out.

[Offshore Toon]

Wanting to wear contacts when I'm out.
The worst kind of poindexter.

[Reg]

We are terrible people, it's true.

[Adamski]

Do you do that screwed up contact lenses face when you're out?

[Lewis]

I now have reading glasses. They're not that bad.

[Reg]

Do you do that screwed up contact lenses face when you're out?
I didn't know there was such a thing. They're like 90% water or something, you don't notice them.

This is pretty much why I initially got mine. The extent to which you're able to ignore your own poor eyesight right up until the point where something occurs which means you're finally forced to confront it for some reason and realise that you are, in fact, quite blind is a very strange phenomenon.

Surely glasses would be more analogous to wearing a wig. The Rooneyesque transplant would be your laser treatment, so lenses would have to be somewhere in the middle. Spray on hair perhaps?

[Magic]

I do. Contacts don't work for me. Don't need for reading though.
