The do my test and tell me that I need to be wearing glasses while driving, I then booked into specsavers for a 2nd opinion as I think I can see and read well from a distance.
Done my test at Specsavers, asked about needing glasses for driving and the optometrist says "na mate, as long as you can read the tyop line, that is a pass, you can read the top two lines and you go 2/4 on the bottom line".
He then asked me if I was getting new glasses that visit, I asked if I really needed them and he said "I should say yes for the sale, but your old ones should still be fine if they're in good condition".
Happy about the result, bit annoyed with OPSM though, had me worried.


Only reason I've ever shopped at OPSM is to get good prescription sunnies, and I bring my own script from Specsavers

My work glasses are supplied free, otherwise I wouldn't even drive within a kilometre of Arndale.


Oh god, I said nothing about Arndale!! :lol: :lol:

Had last leg of a big multi Rockets -7.5 over Wizards.. and less than a minute to go, KD literally passes the ball back for an easy 2, then turns it over again for another 2, follows up giving away a tech foul - then they let them nail a 3 pointer on the buzzer.

Rockets win by 5. 8 points in 48 seconrds by the Wizards to **** my multi

From news.com.au

AFL football boss Greg Swann has definitively closed a loophole to the new ruck rules.

Sydney ruckman Brodie Grundy raised eyebrows with a fascinating centre-circle tactic that earned him a free kick in last Thursday’s Community Series match against the Giants.

Grundy coaxed GWS counterpart Nick Madden into ‘illegally’ crossing the centre-circle line — which ruckmen are forbidden to do under the newly-introduced rules — resulting in a free kick to the star Swan.

Last week, Swann said the league hadn’t anticipated players exploiting the new ruck rules in the clever manner Grundy did.

“It’s probably one we didn’t contemplate, but anyway, we’ll have a look at it and see where we go,” Swann told SEN Breakfast last Friday.

Well, unfortunately for Grundy, that loophole has been officially closed by Swann and the AFL brains trust.

“We’ve looked at that, and he (Grundy) got a free for that (last week), but there wouldn’t be a free (going forward),” Swann confirmed on AFL 360 on Monday night.

“If you don’t jump, and you want to … (do) the stooging, you can stooge, but it’ll be play on.”


What absolute numpties the AFL are.

I like that it's now play on, though. And, they're not changing the rule mid-season for a change.

Be nice if the umpires could have some actual feel for the game and just called "play on" the first time...

What a stupid comment by Swann
Players and coaches outsmart them every time they change the rules
