life thru a lens

I have spectacles! I shall be wearing them part-time.

I was a total sitting duck for that camp Asian butterfly of a frame salesman, though: I've got me some pricey Dior frames. Internet shopping next time, I think. Once I'm used to all this arcane prescriptions stuff.

You'll have to hand in your scotswoman card if you're not careful. I spent 70 quid on my frames, and only because they chucked in a 2nd pair free.

Fuck off speccy.

Oh, go screw yourself ginger.

Good reply there James, I would have also given points for "Piss Off Four Eyes", "You Blind Fuck" and "Why Are You Hitting Yourself"

Let us see you wearing them then - post a pic!

OK - will do. It'll have to wait until I get home, though, as I don't have the equipment here...

See if they wrote down your pupillary distance on your prescription anywhere - it's useful when ordering online and IME they don't usually write it down unless you ask them.

Thanks for the tip - I have no idea about any of this.

HOW much?!? I paid £15 for my last pair of glasses, including p&p!

On the other hand I do think there are good arguments for splurging on a first pair of glasses - having spent one's inheritance (or whatever) on them, one's that much more likely to e.g. take care of them and actually wear them and so forth. I've been wearing glasses for over twenty years, though...
