I recently got some glasses for working. I can see everything within 1.5 metres. I also have normal glasses and prescription sunglasses. This is too many pairs to manage. There is always at least one pair I can’t find.

I had the misfortune of meeting an angry white man from the UK recently. Probably a bit younger than Cleese. He lives 90% of the year in Egypt and was complaining about not being able to hear English in London anymore. He wasn’t impressed when I asked how good is Arabic is.
