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.

The tiny-tiny screwdriver that winds into the corkscrew on a certain variety of Swiss Army Knife is very good for this. Also for tightening flute keys. Apparently.

I have a purposely-designe teeny-tiny screwdriver especially for glasses screws. It has a built in magnifier so you can see what you're doing without your glasses on and everything.

Sadly, I didn't know the screw was loose and thus hadn't applied the screwdriver in the relevant way.
