another reason to stay inside, sitting in a motorised scooter barely moving your head from side to side, just to make sure the glasses don't fall off even though they are stickytaped to your face and stapled into the sides of your head.
think yerself lucky...couldve been yer roof that blew off in the night
or toupee, I hear those are also somewhat expensive, and they can be hard to find in the middle of the dark night while in a dark alley where our dearly beloved NickH probably was ;-)
I don't trust those people - if I'm paying thousands of pounds, I want guaranteed results rather than having to pay for additional attempts.
I had it done in India for hundreds of pounds rather than thousands. It worked great; for me at least. Better than 20/20 vision, and no more once in a quarter century chance of the wind blowing my glasses off. In truth though my daughter proved rather more devastating to my specs than the wind.
You should have gone to Specsavers. No doubt their super ones stick to your head even if you decide to take a one-way trip into the centre of a rather large tornado. Plus you save a packet too apparently.
I don't particularly like those adverts. Still they're not as annoying as the all singing and dancing Halifax ones. Won't Harold please piss off to Northern Rock or the bottom of the Ocean, I'm not fussy - between the two he'll have hit Rock bottom.
Oh well I was gonna say time to get some smaller glasses............Radar :D
Specsavers actually did give me a good deal, I got 2 nice looking pairs of glasses from there for I think about 130 quids.
Might sound expensive, but I got scratch proofing and a few extra perks on my lenses as well.
Got a pair of those designer style ones with the thick black rims, which I now wear all the time, left my old pair back in England cos' they were crap (and were wrong for my eyes, don't go to Stephens opticians if any still exist long sighted my arse, I wore the wrong glasses for almost 7 years! No wonder my eyes are shit now!).
My glasses just got blown off in the wind. That's the first time that's happenned in the 25 years I've been wearing glasses...
a similar situation happened to me once. it was last year when it was equally as windy. i was walking through town, or at least trying to battle through the wind to get to tescos, when the wind suddenly switched taking myself and my fellow pedestrians by suprise. without a hint of warning the skirt of another pedestrian blew up over her hips. she screamed and i saw what could only be described as a neatly shaved pair of bollocks. needless to say my monocle fell out.
ha ha, no it was an amusing story that i made up. although i did steal a pair of glassers from someone once. one eye was clear and the other was a heavy prescription. i wore them all day pretending to be clever. i got a terrible migrane and i was sick in my mates car. i dont know how people with glassers cope.
Ironically, as my glasses have the fashionable smaller lenses (meaning I can't see anything either side of me or above or below without moving my head - who the bloody hell thought that up?!), I'm now going to replace them with more practical larger lenses for day-to-day use.
Providing that style's still being sold, that is...

If you have an ugly wife you still might want to consider it but don't get the corrective surgery when she looks blurry.
This is the pic from our house - as you can imagine, the lack of trees makes it bloody windy..

You had your kids inflatable pool in the middle of the dirt road? Or out in the field?
