Ad Lib Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 I'm the opposite of that. -0.75 right and -1.25 left. I think I've got different values for cylindrical and spherical but those figures are for one of them. I suspect my mild astigmatism is the main reason I struggle to see stuff without my glasses. It's hard to explain to people who don't have it but whenever you look at lights it looks like the object is blurred and is streaming in a line a bit like the trail an aircraft leaves behind it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have astigmatism. Can't remember my prescription but I'm pretty useless without my Gregory Peck's, everything is in soft focus like I've got a thin veneer of Vaseline on my eyes, like in early 70s porn (but without such big muffs). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smurph Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I hate wearing glasses but I wear them all the time in the house and wear them to gigs/football/etc. I would get contact lenses but I don't like the idea of putting my finger near my eye. Although those I've spoken to who wear them say that they've "changed their life". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember, blinding yourself in one eye after trying to take out a lens whilst blootered would also change your life 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guinness is fantastic (unless you buy it in Pontypridd, in which case it's vile ) but don't drink it just because it's Saint Patrick's Day or you'll look like a twat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a big Guinness man but I've had a few in the past and it's decent enough. Agree with the second sentence. I just don't get the hype with this 'holiday'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightswoodBear Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 (edited) Try regular Guinness first before going for the Extra Cold stuff. I now prefer the EC, but you've got to serve your time on the original edit: fucked up quoting Edited March 17, 2011 by KnightswoodBear 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gingapar Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 back in my drinking days, i developed a taste for Guinness when the local Snooker club was selling it for £1.20 a pint. I think the biggest mistake people make when trying it is taking a sip of the head, that gives most folk the boke, getting straight into the black stuff is the way to go, delicious, and after 3 or 4 pints you appreciate it not gassing you up like lager does. for the full effect, you should really grow a big mouser for soaking up the head. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widge Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Remember, blinding yourself in one eye after trying to take out a lens whilst blootered would also change your life I can attest to this, however I wasn't pissed, I wad just a bit clumsy, right pain when you do it. I always wear glasses, apart from when I play sports, however my new glasses are takin a bit of gettig used to, bumped my prescription up to - 3.5 and - 4.25, hopefully I get used to them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ffcsam Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Not tired at all. I should be snoozing by now as I am working in a few hours but I can't settle. Hopefully the repetitive ssn feed will send me to sleep 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
