I'm looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes

Some advice to glasses wearers - get one of those little screw-driver jobs and tighten the screws which hold the lenses in the frames. Go on - never mind whether they're looking loose or not, just give 'em a twist.

Otherwise, a lens will drop out of your prescription sunglasses without warning and, if you're moving at a brisk pace, you'll tread on it before you realise what's happened.

Bollocks.

A previous pair of glasses was quite loose - and I once while skiing I lost a lens first into my goggles, then when I took the goggles off the lens dropped into a foot or so of snow. And to cap it all it was in the middle of a blizzard and during a ski lesson. The rest of the group got ahead of me, and after about 10 minutes of trying to put things together and de-ice the instructor walked back up the slope and muttered disparigingly at me in German. At least, that was the sense I had.
