Eyeglasses / Sunglasses Discussion

[Geo]

Well to be honest I never considered throwing them about, but the materials are all of the highest quality and the hardware is well over-specced

Are there glasses (other than safety glasses) made to withstand drops etc?

@hectic:

No, you misunderstand, this was to show Jack Coleman that he looks like Geo.

Universal Univis frames - think they went bust

. . . he does have nice hair though . . .

@Tripleterror:

Some links for us guys 'n' girls in the UK !

http://www.operaopera.net/
http://www.cutlerandgross.com/
http://www.roopevintage.com/

I have some frames from Opera Opera (Harpers), The quality is first class and they're made in the UK.
Cutler & Gross have 2 shops in London, more or less opposite Harrods, one sells their current range & the other sells older & vintage stock. They're about 5 doors apart.
Roope Vintage sell a fantastic variety of frames but I don't think the frames are the best quality compared to the others mentioned.

get some pics up TT - great links . . . never knew Harpers

My GF just told me that she is getting me the Dita's for my birthday!!!

I'm a lucky dude.

one lucky bastard right there!…

congrats mate

[Geo]

guys - you seriously have got to invest in some Ditas!!

just took mine down to the local opticians to get glazed up . . . I handed over the case and the (exceedingly lovely) optician opened it up and just said 'oh my . . . !'

she then went through the prescription details, DOB, address etc etc and then took them through to the back office and returned handing me the case saying I should keep hold of it because it might get separated from the glasses.

anyways - got home and thought I would stick another pair of my glasses in the now empty case . . . only to find her home and mobile numbers written on a note inside

result!

• Geo only now realises what the statements such as '46? You're only a couple of years older than me!' and 'that's actually quite close to where I live' actually meant . . . doh!

[Seul]

Why does this not surprise me?..

[Geo]

what? me not having a clue?

[Seul]

No - the lass coming onto ya!..

[Geo]

no that is a bolt from the blue 

[elclintor]

uh oh…

Increased female attention may cause some problems for me though..

I can always answer any comments with.. "my beautiful girlfriend bought these for me."

[Geo]

don't let the gf see this thread El . . . otherwise she might be thinking about alternative birthday prezzies

Geo,

Dont get carried away, I think it is the same girl who works in the Gosport branch occasionally.  The same thing happened to me except she popped a photo inside the box too:

[Seul]

She looks very Scottish…

go for it tiger! :D…

unless you got wife and kids sitting at home! :)...

[rocket]

very cool Geo, remind me of the "best looking lad in town" comment I made some time ago, seems I'm right 

[Geo]

No wife no kids . . .

Rocket - get your own specs sorted out man - they're obviously not working (plus none of my pics get uploaded without vigorous photoshopping :))

[rocket]

obvioulsy, I'm not alone with this opinion    and I'm 80% sure that you did not hold a photoshopped pic of yourself in front of your face while chatting with your optician
