Why......

[Brissles]

does Pippa wear sunglasses on her head in a ****** studio ???? (this morning on a bits and pieces show)

 

[Sazza]

They are not sunglasses, they have clear lenses, would assume she needs them for reading.

They're huuuge! She put them on to read something the other day. They were laughable. Maybe it's trendy!

For decades I had reading glasses and regular glasses separately. I bit the bullet and bought bi vocals the best thing ever. Took me a while to get used to them. The Optician said do not take them off to use your old glasses.

My late wife had certain unreasonable rules about how she judged strangers. One particular one was anybody wandering around with large framed sunglasses on the top their heads and behind a wheel with dangly things hanging from their rear view mirror was an apostate from Hell. Or at the very least one twiglet short of a full box.

Couldn’t get on with varifocals. Made me feel seasick standing, sitting or walking. Blummin’ expensive mistake.

Current trend in glasses seems to have calmed down on the giant framed glasses… except for sunnies!

They reckon when you look at a photograph nothing dates it as well as glasses. I try to remember that when a camera heads my way…

I feel the same way about dangly things but as for sunglasses; here in Italy they are pretty much the national dress.

Same for me with varifocals.

Sunglasses worn in Europe is the only way to accessorize, and yes when walking the dog today in February in blinding sunshine I have worn mine. But wearing them indoors by anyone is a bit naff.

My friend wears hers all the time outdoors even to hang the washing out.
She said the optician told her you need to to ward of cataracts.
I take a lot of what she says with a pinch of salt. She is supposed to borderline diabetic so everything she buys has to be inspected for calorie and sugar content. She has also developed some sort of allergy and can't eat anything green as it may contain some content that causes her sore mouth. It must take her hours to shop.
They have gone to visit their oldest son in NZ and his partner is tearing her hair out wondering what they are going to feed her.
Going out for a meal must be a nightmare.

I have the ones with no line whatsoever. They look like ordinary glasses. What Varifocals do you have?

They were the ones without a line but I just couldn't wear them.
I don't particularly need distance but definitely need them for reading.

Luckily, I had varifocals on trial by Boots. Gave them a month, my eyes just never adjusted.

'Baby on Board' in the back window of a car was a pet hate of mine. I don't know if people still do that.

It's called terminal fussy eating. Mr CC has suffered from it for the 20 odd years I've known him. He also goes on a 3 month rant when he sees people wearing sunglasses indoors

I dated a fussy eater. When he picked the raisins out of the sultana bran, I had to end it.

Well F**** Sister, you might have warned me before you palmed him off onto me It is annoying though when they start picking bits out of food. My mum no longer bothers with him, she just buys him loads of bacon and pies when we visit and then me and mum can have all the nice stuff.

As for the Baby on Board stuff. My ex neighbour used to walk up and down our row of houses with his baby in his arms as if he was showing it off. Oh look my nob works. How he managed to find a woman was beyond me. OK I know, I'm being harsh but he was a prat.

I once worked with a girl whose former job was in the Birth,Death and Marriages dept.
She told us of the funny names babies were given.
Cherry Bunn but the funniest was a baby boy named Aaron with the surname Mycock. We never knew if she was kidding but she said it was true.
