    I've always had a squint - left eye.

    I can move each eye independantly, which can be good fun - also rather good
    for peripheral vision.

    Always been told I was 'unusual' in not being at all bothered by it - ie.
    able to control the double vision/not suffer depth issues etc.

    Hopefully it'll not change as I get older :)

    When you've lived with it your whole life it's second nature.

    Well I can move my ears up and down and also raise each eye brow up and
    down _and_ rotate my tongue 180 degrees. :p

    I also switch eyes, and only actively look through one at a time. Both
    work perfectly well, but for some readon I favour the right hand side
    one.

    I also just try to look down slightly and and left and pray a bit, and it
    sounds stupid but I wear sunglasses in the morning for that time just
    after dawn when every oncoming twat has those nasty blue lights on dip or
    main beam (I am hard pushed to tell the difference) the alternative is to
    be half blinded in half light.

    I'm sure I saw some in Halfords last time I was in there.

    They're hardly Dolce and Gabbana but if you're not afraid of yellow
    lenses, I imagine they'll do it.
    I wanted a pair to wear in daylight for the same reason - sun off car
    rear windows and stuff.

    I really need to go wash my brain now.

  17. Yes, quite. Except that on this occasion, I _wasn't_ referring to the
    vicious thrashing that I deliver to the twits who think that Clique
    membership means that they can flame me.

  18. I thought that not looking at the lights was so obvious, that no one over
    five had to be told. I mean as 'every schoolboy knows', you look at a
    light source, your pupils contract, and when the light source is gone,
    you're temporarily 'blind'.

    I can recall being in the car with my dad (RIP), and asking him, 'how can
    you see with all those lights coming towards us ?'.

    'Just don't look at them,' was his sage, phlegmatic response.
