It's fucking expensive for something that's worse than useless.
I was expecting something that made my vision a little bit better, maybe help with eyestrain on long journeys. Not something that makes me physically sick and causes me to fall over.
What gets me is the fact that I told them it made me feel sick literally 2 seconds after first putting them on and they just styled it out like that's what's supposed to happen.
EDIT: Hell, I still feel slightly nauseous now and it's seven hours after wearing the damned things for 10 minutes. I've emailed the opticians about it. It's like a bad acid simulator you wear on your face, complete with shitty comedown. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen.

I don’t care what anyone says, print on packaging is definitely getting smaller and harder to read. It must be to fit all the nonsense information that modern regulations require.
Oh, and don’t get me started on the challenges of actually getting in to the effing packaging ____________________ Whether you think you can, or think you can't, you're probably right |

"Sorry, I suffer from CSS" Can't See Shit
Last eye test revealed my eyes are equally fucked which is a good thing as I can get by with Poundland's finest. I have found my distance vision can be a bit blurry if I spend all day on the computer. Sounds like I should take more breaks rather than see the optometrist about it. ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

I hate realising that I am still awake dicking around on the computer when "Play Ojo" comes on the telly. The presenters prattle on for about half an hour before I realise its even on, and therefore is extremely v.late.
Its like still being up in the 80s when Get Stuffed! came on - "omg is that the time??"
At least the mad chefs were entertaining, not like these blaaand presenters.

The family memorial thing I went to recently, my aunt went by train. She also complained the heating in the carriage being stuck full-on.
On the other hand, local metro systems - TFL, overground, trams - usually pretty good in my experience. ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

Mrs stinkwheel is away at the moment. Someone dropped a card and present for her at the desk at work, I've no idea who. That'll cheer her up, thinks I. I'll pop that in the post to her.
Put it in a box and went to the post office to send it to her. "What's in the box?" they wanted to know. "I dunno, a present for my wife.". "If you don't know what's in it, we can't accept it."
FFS. "Ok" says I. "I'll just go to a different post office and lie about it.".
Had a puss on her like a bulldog licking piss off a thistle.
Sent it with DPD instead. Fuck the post office. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”

Yeah I had that problem once, when the lady at the PO asked I told her it was " ... green tea leaves imbued with manuka honey ..."
She even asked me if I wanted to insure them. Errrr, no thanks.
You can only get away with that if you're a reasonably well-spoken* mature woman (for once I was also reasonably well-dressed)

My latest attempt at the risk register dashboard has failed miserably
A month after the assurance lady has retired, and I can't get it right despite following her intructions implicitly, grrrr ... !!
All the info shows up on the main part of the document, like for the whole group, but has not populated the areas showing the results for individual specialties.
I don't care, I've just sent it back to the main hospital Risk geeks and said "It don't work and I dunneven know how to fix it". Not my problem, I did what I was told.
I knew I shoulda applied for the job as the CEO's exec assistant, I'd be pouring tea and offering biscuits to the mayor of Kensington or the master of Fitzwilliam "More tea* milady?" instead of wrangling with fucking Excel
Fucking pivot tables.
*no not that manuka-infused stuff, milady ... ____________________ Not nearly as interesting in real life. |

And now the bloody Italian has just asked me to cancel tomorrow's clinic.
Four patients, three of them new.
FFS , here we go a-fucking-gain.
We were just managing to get ourselves out of his Christmas crisis
*bungs another £200 on his April invoice just for the aggravation*
*to be fair, his kid is unwell, so I would prolly do the same if it was me. But still ... its a regular thing ... cancel everything at short notice ____________________ Not nearly as interesting in real life. |

Totally agree.
I rarely venture away from Ready Salted
I think I had some roast lamb ones once, that were kind of funky.
But generally ... not impressed at fancy flavours.
Although I do like those vegetable ones: parsnip and beetroot.
They're very nice. ____________________ Not nearly as interesting in real life. |

Cars with the front indicators mounted inboard of the always on position lights. Some of them dip the light when you put the indicator on but many/most do not. You can't see them properly. I nearly caused an accident yesterday because of this. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen.

Cyprus Easter. Different from yours, Greek Orthodox, and falls this weekend. In Cyprus this is the major religious event, bigger than Christmas.
What that means is that we have a 5 day event where our tiny, quiet village is over-run with visitors including mischief makers, breaking stuff and causing mayhem
Get this, “The Light of Jesus” is delivered by Limassol Harley Riders (not even joking) tonight, through roads barely 2m wide in places If one of them breaks down, Jesus’s light ain’t going nowhere because the others won’t be able to get past
Then, at midnight, a huge bonfire is lit. It’s been built within 10 feet of the church, near houses on a parking space in the centre of the village. It’s barely rained here for moths, what could possibly go wrong?
The worst by far though, despite a legal ban across the island, home-made fireworks are set off at midnight. These are designed to make loud bangs rather than a colourful display, meaning the place becomes a war zone for a few hours and upsetting the cats, dogs, donkeys etc. Every year people are hospitalised by them, usually blowing a couple of fingers off while igniting them - Karma?
Yes, yes, chose to live here and we admire and support local traditions even religious ones, but just don’t get why the birth of the Easter bunny and the invention of chocolate eggs has to be celebrated with noise, fire and Harleys. ____________________ Whether you think you can, or think you can't, you're probably right |
