The prospect of the surgery is the main thing putting me off
It scares the living fuck out of me

Especially as you're awake when they slice into your eyeball and then fire a laser at your face.

Oh, don't
I actually feel queasy just reading that

^ this
do NOT watch the videos on youtube unless you want to freak right the fuck out. On the other hand, everyone I know who's had it done has been completely overjoyed. Just be aware of the risks!

Are these videos of actual surgery you're referring to
Or Al's homemade collection?

She thinks it's youtube
it's actually just a tube I attached to my crotch.

Well, both I suppose
I suspect the latter is unlikely to be found on youtube and is likely to make me feel much more queasy, though.

apparently you can smell your eyeball burning
which is why I am refusing to even consider it*



*plus, I'm too blind to get any real benefits from it

Wuss

Glasses?
More like telescopes or something! How do you find your glasses on a morning?
( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Thu 9 Dec 2010, 11:10, Reply)

I sleep in them
Bah.

I know right
I'm -6.5 and -6.25 (plus the aforementioned astigmatism) and I thought my eyes were bad
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Thu 9 Dec 2010, 11:13, Reply)

Get it done!

( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Thu 9 Dec 2010, 11:17, Reply)

Am very tempted
Will be looking into it as soon as the cheque clears. The only thing I've always, always wanted* is to be able to wake up and not have to go "where are my glasses, I can't see a fucking thing"

*I have given up on playing centre-forward for Nottingham Forest and England on the grounds of age and crapness

This was the best part for me, the day after
Standing at the window and being able to read car reg plates without glasses or contacts

I know it makes me old and dull to admit this
But that is as close to my idea of heaven as I can imagine you could put into words, without gratuitous reference to Kelly Brook
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Thu 9 Dec 2010, 11:33, Reply)

I agree
Just think, Kelly Brook viewing without glasses!
( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Thu 9 Dec 2010, 11:36, Reply)

No danger of them falling off due to vigorous movement during viewing!

(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Thu 9 Dec 2010, 11:44, Reply)

Blimey, that is quite extreme.
Do ugly blokes steal your glasses to try and improve their chances of copping off with you?
(Cave Duck, Thu 9 Dec 2010, 11:15, Reply)

It's tradition
for people to pinch my glasses and say "bloody hell! You're blind!"

I *know* that.

I am sick of randoms asking me stupid questions (see piercings too)
(BelladonnaAnodyne Melissa's gonna wet herself, I swear..., Thu 9 Dec 2010, 11:18, Reply)

My apologies.

(Cave Duck, Thu 9 Dec 2010, 11:20, Reply)

I didn't mean you
I meant general public. They are idiots.
(BelladonnaAnodyne Melissa's gonna wet herself, I swear..., Thu 9 Dec 2010, 11:21, Reply)

Well in that case, I apologise for not understanding who you were referring to.

(Cave Duck, Thu 9 Dec 2010, 11:27, Reply)

Accepted and forgiven
Still wish people would stop asking me if my piercings hurt though. Twats.
(BelladonnaAnodyne Melissa's gonna wet herself, I swear..., Thu 9 Dec 2010, 11:30, Reply)

Oh my god this
And I've only got stretched piercings in my ears, can't imagine how often you get subjected to that nonsense
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Thu 9 Dec 2010, 11:34, Reply)

Stupid chav twats can't comprehend.

(BelladonnaAnodyne Melissa's gonna wet herself, I swear..., Thu 9 Dec 2010, 11:36, Reply)

I can't believe people
you go and do something really quite unusual and people are surprised and curious about it. What the fuck is wrong with the world.
(Bazongaloid, Thu 9 Dec 2010, 11:37, Reply)

It is a dumb question though
"Oh my god, you've had a needle stuck through part of your flesh and then stretched the open wound! Did it hurt?"
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Thu 9 Dec 2010, 11:46, Reply)

Why? Most people wouldn't do something that would actually hurt.
It's not terribly sensible after all. And lots of people have never had piercings and therefore have no frame of reference.

So, seeing something unusual and wondering whether or not you are the sort of person who would readily inflict pain on yourself, they ask the question, because for all they know, it might not actually hurt which is why you've been so happy to have it done.
(Bazongaloid, Thu 9 Dec 2010, 11:49, Reply)

I see your point
But to the best of my knowledge most people without piercings don't have them because either a) they have no interest, in which case why are they even asking, or b) are scared of needles and the associated ouchy, in which case they've no need to ask
