New Glasses Yeh!
Sunday, November 30th, 2008Got my glasses back with the new lenses today – apparently they were waiting for me to contact them – strange that they went to a lot of trouble checking my address, phone number, work phone number, mobile phone number and address when I ordered them so they could let me know as soon as […]

I Just Want My Glasses Back Now

What I’d forgotten is how heavy these are compared to my current glasses and how being so much bigger they catch […]
'Addicted' to Addiction
Thursday, November 13th, 2008As I get older one thing that annoys me more and more is the quantity of what passes for journalism. The rise of editorial over actual reporting. The need to have a journalist at the scene of the event to give a live report to camera and have a nice chat with the studio where […]
