    Lost my specs the day before yesterday. Only need them for close up work like reading but I hadn't been outside my garden gate since I last remember having them. Turned the house upside down and turned the garage inside out yesterday but no luck - the wife was going potty. Sent the dogs out into the garden on a sniffing trail but they were bloody useless.

    Happened to go down this morning to where I keep a watering can to dilute the dog pee on the lawn (when I catch the little buggers doing it) - I hate those brown dead grass spots that they cause. Lent over to pick up the can and a pen I had loose in my top shirt pocket fell out into a small shrub. Bollocks I thought, I'd better get it back - and what do you think?

    There in the little shrub was my pen - and right next to it were my specs - I must have done exactly the same with them but hadn't noticed. Well we need something to talk about before our big new signings are announced.....<laugh>

    The shirts are casual cheapos from Tu @Sainsburys, and the pen was one of a Bic pack from Wilkies - I know how to live the sophisticated retired life.

    What would have broken my heart would have been forking out a couple of hundred quid for new glasses. <doh>

    We used to have to peel a hedgehog and wear the skin inside out as a vest - if we're lucky

    You win Clingo. <ok> Excellent!!!

    I have no retort to that.

    Other than you must have been a very small child and difficult to grab hold of.

    My reading glasses are £1.50 over readers.

    Before I retired, most of my scruffy gardening / working at the small holding were casual stuff that had got a bit scruffy.
    Now I spend more time in scruffies than anything else.
    As a result I have to BUY scruffies.
    T-Shirts at £5 for 2, jeans at £16 for 2 pairs.
    Never mind Sainsburys, Asda is my current brand.<cheers>

    I haven't had that problem yet but at least I still remember where my garage is.

    Why did I think that this thread would be about referees?
