I have no idea what you might be insinuating but my other half wouldn't like twice at a muppet like him ;-)

Good luck to him if he's banging married women

Yeah, mate my missus said you were crap and smelt bad.

But can she have her girly white glasses and gloves back?

This is the only pic I can find of me wearing my Revos. I tend to not get into pictures, so this rare self portrait on a lift is it folks.

Revo glasses, purchased in 1997 at Gatwick Airport. I really cannot recall if they were £120 or £220 :shock: but have been the best sunglasses I have ever had.

I was definitely only joking about your Mrs H!

He is a naughty boy though! :thumbdown:

I've seen a couple of nasty injuries when people have face planted wearing metal framed sun glasses :!: Can't really see the design from the photo, but imagine your face hits the snow, the lenses pop out leaving the metal of the frames contorting and coming apart as your face slides along. Sorry for being so graphic, but I've seen it happen.

Well I went out this morning and tried on a few pairs of Oakleys. Tried flak Jackets (inc. the XLJ), Straight Jackets. But in the end I went for a pair of Monster Dogs. They seemed to fit a look better on me (so the wife said), and bigger wrap around lens. Went for the iridium lens rather than polarised.
Probably paid a bit more than on line, but the shop threw in a hard case (not Oakley, but that doesnt matter as it fits perfectly). And the shop owner spent a lot of time with me patiently waiting whilst I couldnt make my mind up - so dony mind paying for the service.

Thanks for all your help.

And the snow to Tignes (heading there in late January).
Just need to pluck up the courage (or stupidity) to try the Face!

Perhaps the girly white gloves belonged to her old man?

I've got a pair of Iakley straight jackets in Livestrong black and yellow and they're great. Plastic frames too - as noted above there's something about metal that worries me for skiing/MTB ing, oh and Metal's cold to put in your face after goggles!
