Just awesome. Watch this.

I am just about to nip out to have my first ever contact lense fitting/test appointment. Am I in for a world of pain, discomfort and red eyes or am I just being a bit nesh?

[jimmbob]

It's gonna sting like a bitch mate.*
















































*Seriously.

[VR46]

Yeah I'd dodge that one YM, I looked a right tit for twenty minutes trying to get one of those in my eye.

[Kieran76]

Don't scare me, I have seen some real useless types use contacts so I am sure a man of my breeding can manage.

[Kongster]

I thaink that contact lenses are too much hassle and too much of a health hazard for my liking.

Well just don't go moving your furniture before you go. When you get home you will need familiarity, only until your sight comes back of course...

That was a waste of time, I got there and they claimed by appointment was yesterday. I know thats not true as when I made the booking the girl mentioned that it would be two Tuesday's in a row as I had to have a normal eye test first. Now I have to cope with my broken glasses until next Wednesday.
Stupid Specsavers, I may be blind but I know I am not deaf.

[Swallow]

lol, wimped out cos of Jimmie, eh?

[jimmbob]

Should have gone to Spec...Oh wait a minute...

[Kieran76]

How dare you! I may have been a tiny bit apprehensive but I would never knowingly miss an appointment. You sir are a cad and a bounder. I demand satisfaction (duel to the death, not sexual).

[kernow]

you guys should naked wrestle like that famous movie from the 70's

totally not gay, just manly

lolz.
I turned up for an eye test last Thursday to be told I was ten minutes late, therefore couldn't be seen. this despite the fact the waiting area was devoid of life. I too was told of my appointment time over the 'phone, so I couldn't argue the toss since I had no proof of my appointment time.

No problem I told the wee lassie, just get me a pair of glasses for the prescription you have on your records. No no no no no. Last presciption was over a year ago I was scolded.

I was given another slot yesterday which went ok. I now have a (work payed for) prescription, but guess who's not getting the order for new glasses.

[djjimbob]

These opticians do get a bit nazi-ish.

I tried to pick up some specs for a friend a couple of years back. Had all the measurements -3 for the right eye -2 for left etc etc. And they said no-way as it's a prescription thing.

Que? Glasses are not subsidised as far as I'm aware - so why can't I collect someone elses? It's not as if anyone is going to put them on and walk around all day bumping into people.

If someone mention litigation, that's the dumbest thing I've heard this morning.
(Since the lawyer sued the dry cleaners for $54million)

[jimmbob]

Well it seems like the man with no ashtrays in his house could have been arrested again...Possibly.

NAUGHTY BARRYMOORE!
