    EYES

    This is probably for the elder statesmen...................and women amongst us..........................how old were you before you needed glasses for reading. The next question would be, how old were you when you needed glasses for seeing. Being younger than most of you old yins, as you are well aware, my eyesight is perfect, well it is once I put my glasses on. I now find myself more and more dependant on artificial aids...........no no Richard, glasses from Tesco at ?5.95, as long as you are viewing the object at 14 inches (wtf) Since my previous job, staring at PC screens, I have found it increasingly difficult to read the small print. Now, my eyes need time to focus, and shady light is difficult to say the least. I presume wearing glasses shortens the life of your own optics to peruse, thus leading to the need for more and more, stronger and stronger bits of glass, ie more powerful lenses. Have to stop typing now, the writing is getting smaller.
  2. Sorry for looking Jay, but I can't help. Must be forums for this sort of thing on the net somewhere though. Thought I should add something as theres nothing worse than having 267 views and no replies..........sorry.
  3. It was one of lifes great unanswered questions............................until you answered it :029: My buddie Wikipedia said........... Hear hear is an expression that originated as hear ye, or hear him, usually repeated. This imperative was used to call attention to a speaker's words, and naturally developed the sense of a broad expression of favour. This is how it is still used today, although one can always vary one's tone to express different sentiments; the Oxford English Dictionary noted around the turn of the century that the phrase is now the regular form of cheering in the House of Commons, and expresses, according to intonation, admiration, acquiescence, indignation, derision, etc. As a parliamentary cheer, hear him, hear him! is first recorded in the late 17th century and continued into the 19th; the reduction to hear! or hear, hear! occurred by the late 18th century. However, the use of the verb hear as an imperative meaning listen! is older: a notable example is the parliamentary-sounding Then cried a wise woman out of the city, Hear, hear (2 Samuel 20, verse 16) in the King James Bible, first published in 1611. Aside from the interjection, a number of other forms are found, such as a hear, hear (originally, of course, a hear him or hear ye), "a cheer"; hear-hear, to shout "hear, hear!"; and hear-hearer[citation needed], a person who shouts "hear, hear!".

  5. I wouldn't have thought so as they don't normally count to the totals when you see the breakdown of goals on official sites. But I may be wrong.

  8. We had Broonie as well, thought it was a stick on! Unusual for an outfield player to play 119 consecutive games without injury. We were undone by the news headlines, only 4 out of ten :019: and we wanted to keep a hedgehog in the fridge :010: what pricks Oh, by the way Richard, I have rented a DVD to watch tonight, you know the one, American Dream :029:

  14. Check out this site, invaluable information for the DIY laptop dismantler. Explicit pics how to dis-assemble dozens of different laptops. I found one similar to mine and have now repaired my sound board connection which I ripped apart before Xmas in my haste to split my laptop. Great what you can do with a pair of scissors and an old credit card dismantle the laptop and other info
