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.

I have a pair of glasses that are literally held together by a thread. When the screw fell out, I couldn't find it, so I had to resort to sewing them together with stout thread:)

On the subject of screwdrivers and other tools ... If you don't already have a well equipped tool box I can recommend this nifty little tool kit from PC World. It includes a small screwdriver for tightening the screws in your glasses, pliers, and wirecutters, among other useful tools. It's size means it's very portable and could be toted round in your handbag ;-)

That's remarkably tempting - I specialise in having unexpected and useful things in my handbag :)

(Sadly, I also specialise in thinking "sod it", stuffing my wallet, keys and phone in my pockets and leaving my handbag at home.)

Handbags are optional ;-)
