# Hahaha, Bugger Grips looks like every binman, ever.
Talking of face shapes, I've just been told I need to wear glasses for the first time... can any kind glasses-wearing folk out there give me any tips, i.e. dos/donts when purchasing your first pair?

# don't take other peoples advice,
try all the pairs on in the shop and see what you like

# don't get pointy ones, they make you look like dame edna
don't get big round ones, they make you look like an owl.
don't get rimlessones, they're shit and break easily.

# Point three is very true indeed

# Timmy Mallet glasses.
Seriously, just pic an innocuous pair that don't make you look like a nobhead or a pretentious wanker.

# Thanks all,
I'll get a simple black pair for starters (I'll wait till I'm more confident before I go for flashing LEDs and ostrich feathers).

# Do take the advice of the person who works in the opticians
they're often very good

# They blew a puft of air into my eye as part of the test
I'm not sure if that was legit or they do it just for a laugh...

# That is a glaucoma test
legit

I have worn glasses since I was 10, never found a frame style I really like.
Best I coud hope for was something that would resemble what Michael Caine wore... (now there is even a product line! )

# If I could look as cool as that famous David Bailey pic of Caine (with long ciggie dangling from lips)
I'd be a happy man.
(I'm glad that was a proper test, it's not much fun having a mechanical viewfinder extending towards your eyeball...)

# If you don't like any of them
don't feel you have to buy the frames from where you got your eye test

/should take own advice
