Beer goggles


I didn't really know what 'beer goggles' meant until now. Some clever soul has come up with a formula that shows how 'beer goggles' affects a drinkers vision in a research project sponsored by Bausch and Lomb. My contact lenses are made by B&L and frankly I would have preferred it if they had considered reducing their prices rather than wasting money on this stupidity. Still, it gave me a laugh.

Out of the blue, Vincent C came round last night to say that he was starting work tomorrow in the garden to finish some levelling work. It was raining this morning, so he arrived and picked up his mini pel, never to be seen again.

The news from England this morning was all about snow. Shock horror, they had up to 10 cms of snow in places. Four whole inches. The country was in near paralysis with schools shut down, airports closed and accidents all over the place. What is going on? When I was a kid nothing, absolutely nothing, stopped me from going to school. Six days a week I travelled over 25 kilometres from the outskirts of Harrogate to my school in Leeds. Ahhhh, those were the days.
On the subject of travel it looks like
BA are about to commit commercial suicide. What are they thinking of?
