I simply swap clothes with Mrs F. She gets to wear my green shirt and red trousers for the day. I look quite fetching in an orange roll-neck sweater, if I say so myself. “Why mess with a classic look?”
I can’t see anything through her glasses, though. Especially as I keep dropping them.
Cheaper than the Apple Vison Pro too, though quite different in terms of what to expect.
I’m supposed to wear glasses for driving, but I don’t because I don’t want to see what’s coming towards me in case it’s dangerous, but on the odd occasion that I do put them on it’s like I imagine being on crack or LSD might be. (I have tried a very limited variety of drugs, neither of those.) I can see everything with an intense clarity that’s like HD telly. I guess perhaps that’s how most people see things most of the time. What a scary thought.
I’ve always wondered why the rest of the Scooby gang didn’t club together to buy Velma one of those loopy string things to go round her glasses. They’d have solved the mysteries a lot quicker if Velma could see what she was doing, and had time for a celebratory Scooby snack or milkshake at the end of each episode.
If memory serves, Maria E. Beasley was an American entrepreneur and inventor. Born in North Carolina, Beasley grew up with a strong interest in mechanical work and learned about the profession of barrel-making from her grandfather.
I don’t think either of you are every woman. You’re definitely not my wife – I would know by now – and I’m fairly certain you aren’t the woman next door. That’s just for starters.
I’ve come as Lady Chatterley.

Funny, the thread just fell open at this comment

Ahhh, putting on other peoples’ glasses – it’s cheaper than drugs.

I might be over-thinking this.
I’ve been over-thinking Velma my entire life.
Margaret Rutherford. Same old same old.
My, that pearl necklace is exquisite!
I made it myself.
Depressingly.
Impressively, more like! Credit where credit’s goo, old man!

I’ve no idea. Look it up.
It’s your turn in the barrel.
I’m every woman.
Is it all in you, BT?
Indeed it is. Bloody uncomfortable at times, I can tell you.
When are they going to have an International Men’s Day?
I’m joking of course.
You’re cancelled!!!! – sorry.
Cripes! It’s a Sontaran!!
Wait, are we watching Blake’s 7?
Who else?
Whose turn is it to announce how appalled and saddened they are by the lack of diversity in this list?
You just did, I think..
It’s a lighthearted post, Chiz.
I rather like it.
I’m every woman!
Any excuse to post some Chaka Khan!
I think you’ll find that I’m every woman, ackcherly. ^^^^

That’s not what you said last night, Snooky Chops…
Snooky Chops!! This thread is becoming a tad unbuttoned.
I just stumbled across the fact that Chaka will be curating this year’s Meltdown.

I imagine Londoners are in for a treat.
Here’s a wonderful story. Shaka guested with Bombay Bicycle Club.
Crouch End meets Los Angeles!

That was my alter ego ‘Brandy’ so it doesn’t count.
