    Slept with tiny bags of sand on their eyes, and upon waking found their could see better.

    That's nothing.

    I sleep with some scaffolding on my chest, and when I remove it next morning I find my breathing improves.

    RE: That's nothing.

    If I've learnt nothing else from the ancient chinese Gaz, I'd suggest changing the scaffolding for large bags of sand. Less hassle. I think they were onto something.

    I really can't construct a sentence properly.

    Kev the scrap merchant - the ancient Chinese medicine guy who has the stall in the Alhambra - told me that scaffolding or the rear end of a Fiat 126 is much better than bags of sand. Something to do with feng shui.

    Sorry Dirk. I didn't mean to make light of the foundations of your career.

    Is it some sort of clever trick thingy. Sand = glass = bag of glass cleverly crafted into...erm..I don't know.....bamboo frames.. = ancient glasses for short sighted chinese people that woke up in the morning?

    no

    I have not a clue. I'm just waiting for the first smart arse to come in and complain that a bag of sand costs less than specs.

    NB> It's not a good idea to grumble at the kindly optician about prices. Some of the more evil ones amongst us add on £20 for moaning ********. Not me Mr trading Standards Officer.

    Not an experiment I'd like to encourage, but if you put pressure on your eyes and then relieve the pressure, there is a sensation of "oooh that's much better"

    Try it with some scaffolding.

    seems to have the same effect.

    Perhaps I should write a thesis ? Or a Thatsis ?

    Scaffolding on your eyes? Asking for trouble. You need old fridges or stacks of hubcaps. Fact.

    I definitely encourage research first Gaz. Good advice though. Are you with Kev?

    Ken? Now you're making stuff up.

    You need a good whack round the head with tiger testicles.
