In truth I didn't realise my eyesight had deteriorated until I went to
the quack complaining of headaches and shit and he told me to visit an
optician. Problem sorted.

All you have to do now is learn how to ride a bike.

 

Lozzo wrote

riding is not the issue, I can do that with ease, not falling off is the
trick I am still working on.

Kin damn near dropped[1] the fucker unparking it in Chelmsford
yesterday. How embarrassing is that for a riding god eh? my excuse is
that I wasn't actually/riding/ it and I am sticking to it.


[1] Did any fucker come to my aid? Did they fucking ****.
There I was half up, half down, fighting with, a very tastefully blue
coloured if consequentially slightly slower than yer average, bindit.
Ball muscles pinging, sweat dripping, curses emanating and the bastards
just walked past and laughed. Fuckem I thought as two minutes later I
ruined their ear drums[2].

[2] I fucking *love* that can. Just a shame it is just the one on a
nasty screaming inline four and not two of them on a full throated V-
twin. Still you have to make do with what you have really I suppose.

 

HM revin-u up are we?

 

Corrected, obviously. Uncorrected, I can read newsprint at about nine.
It's a bit fuzzy, but that's the astigmatism. If it wasn't for the
astigmatism, I wouldn't wear glasses at all.

You were supposed to snort it.

I would but I am pissed.

I like being pissed. I don't do it often these days, it is nice to do
it and get it together iykwim?

By the way do you happen to know if the tricks that work for keyboards
are the same for an optical mouse if you spill wine over it and it sort
of does odd things after?

 

Is that all you have to declare?

 

I happen to know that all the posts on UKRM (apart from mine [1]) are
generated by the microsoft newsgroup wizard installed as part of XP
service pack 2.

[1] I also know my posts are a figbox of my imagination

 

Its not a new law, but it is a new policy. They never bothered
anybody doing over 40 on that road until 3 weeks ago. The only way you
know how they are going to enforce it is _when_ they do.

Of course I realise I could be caught. I'm not so much worried about
being caught as the whole so called 'road safety' aspect of the idea.

Brother of friend of mine managed on the morning after a nights heavy
drinking to swig down the glass with his contacts in whilst topping up
his fluid levels before fully awake.

About time you got rid of that scabby old 9R then.

 

13+ will be "non-driving work".

 

Ah. Removing the tacho fuse; changing tacho charts, and the like.... ;-)

 

Oh her. That was ages ago wasn't it. I have no idea about the
manufactured celeb stuff.

Punk girl when Eastenders started. Back when I watched it and thought
in my (naive teenager way) it had something worthwhile to say. Maybe I
imagined that, but I seem to recall that, like Grange Hill, it tackled
subjects that simply weren't getting any exposure elsewhere and
certainly not in main stream TV. All added to my ealier political
awareness, be interesting to see what sweller thought of it then and
if it had a similar effect.

 

I've never broken specs but I've had one contact lenses come out (my
eye was itching, I rubbed it, the lens popped out) in fog on a narrow
welsh country lane at a speed a little too fast for the conditions in
a mini with crap brakes. Closed the eye quickly, normal vision
returned but that second or so was enough to cause a distinct
clenching.

In this case, given my usual anti state interference line I'm
surprising myself by thinking it is a good idea.

Nigel Eaton says...

What makes you think there is any need for additional clenching?

Might snap it off.

 

It's probably all for the best.

 

Of Eastenders once having something to say.

I don't think this is just the descent into curmudgioness (it's a real
word in my universe) that comes with age. I'm sure from the limited
times i switch it on that it is far worse now.

I came to that decision over 10 years ago. If it wasn't for sprogs I'd
not have a TV.

No. I didn't like soaps in 1985 and I don't like them now. I find most
television shallow; inane; manipulative or worst of all: boring. Some
programmes cause a severe and instant reaction in me.

As to political awareness? Contemporary events, work and training.
Probably.
